Speak to you local vosa station for exact requirements.. I think as long as the chairs are bolted to the floor and seat belts fitted correctly your be
ok unless taking over 8 people or paying customers. Your also need to look into the road tax as im sure that will vary.

Im doing exactly the same, but looking at one that has seats in the rear fitted from new, will then remove them and fit a rock and roll bed with seat
belts. Plan is to convert to a camper.
As you say there are loads I personally am looking at the T5 with a minimum of 104 BHP apparently these map to 130 relatively easily. I have found
insurance to be a problem a lot of companies expect you to take out comercial insurance which can cause problems with No claims transfer if you go
back to a car

My dad had that when he had a truck as they'd only insure as commercial. You usually lose all or half of your NCD if you go back to a car.
Wouldn't tax be the same as it would still be a van just with more seats?

I have my T4 insured with Just Kampers, my policy basically covers me to do what ever I want to the inside of the van from just keeping it as a
standard panel van (which it is at the moment) to a full camper conversion or fit loads of seats etc what ever I want to do with it basically and it
wont change the premium. Not only that it was very reasonble too! The first quote from them was £190 but I added a set of alloys and it only added £10
to the policy! Thats a non comercial policy with 16,000 miles a year and im 30 clean licence and live in a good postcode. They are worth a call, Also
I was recommended brentacre who do a simular thing but worked out more expnsive for me.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
