Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

People have complying to the DVLA web site and converting there van to a motor caravan and yet the DVLA are saying although the inside is like a motor caravan the outside is not ,when they clearly are .and the DVLA have passed vans that look like vans with windows and classed them as motor caravans
Someone needs to get intouch with the dvla even people have been stopped by the police thinking there motor caravan / camper vans have been cloned . It will also stop any insurance companies from paying out if the camper van is classified as a van with windows so the dvla is really braking the law

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you are concerned about certain decisions by the DVLA, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The requirements for changing the body type of a vehicle to a motor caravan are set out by the DVLA here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/converting-a-vehicle-into-a-motor-caravan/converting-a-vehicle-into-a-motor-caravan

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to review the requirements for changing the body type of a vehicle to a motor caravan, but it would need to be clear what requirements you wanted to be reviewed, and your petition couldn't seek to prejudge the outcome of any review.
