If you a normaly van and you made it into a ice cream van I take it that would mean it would have to be a class 5. That right :?:

Class 5 is for busses

If it's under 3t it's a class 4, if it's 3-3.5t it's class 7

Yea some LWB are class4, it depends on the gross, but no way will a SWB be anything but class4, they don't have the carrying capacity to gross 3.5T

Check your plate on the doorstep. Up to 3000kg gvw is class 4. Over and up to 3500kg is class 7.
