Do you mean it would be exempt from needing a c1 licence?

Not sure. I've looked into that in the past, it's a grey area with motorhomes... but thought i would do the full C+E licence anyway as it would be good for tree work as well.

 

 

As I understand it currently if you arent doing it for hire or reward. e.g carting your horses to pasture or non profitable events such as taking classic machinery to shows. You can drive even HGV on a car licence on a pre 97 aqcuired licence. Whether you can after this you need to check

I have met people that drive "plant" that is HGV built equipment. Straw bale forwarders, mobile cranes, concrete pumps, mobile corn driers etc. Whilst this may have changed, i dont know. But now you have to not only pass the truck test but starting effective sept 2014, do 5 training days in every 5 years at current cost of over £100 per day plus loss of earnings if self employed.

I wouldn't be doing it just to drive a mobile home. I would downrate the plated weight or do what is legally possible to avoid HGV, unless you want to drive commercially.

 

Thats my view anyway.

 

I do like the freedom home idea.

I want it!! What's the law concerning fitting wood burners in vehicles? And is it easy to do?

Goaty - It's only 7.5ton so drivable on a pre 97 licence - sadly i don't have one

Rather than just going for c1+e, i though i may aswell pay a little bit more and go for the full artic test.

 

 

Edwood - there's no law to speak of regarding woodburners in vehicles, insurers a generally fine with them.

Lovely job mate, you should be proud of that.

 

 

You don't need dcpc to drive a privately owned motorhome for recreational purposes.
