Hi, years ago I changed my Transit body type to a camper/motor caravan- now I want to change it back to... not a camper- but I don't know what to fill in on my V5! My van is a 2003 mk6, it has a bench seat in the back, with one window each side in the back- i.e. it has a window in the sliding door and the opposite side. So I don't think it is a panel van- is it a crew cab? Or is it just a 'van' ?

Can anyone with a similar layout- i.e. 2or 3 seats in the front and a bench seat in the back with a window each side have a look on their V5 and see what they have? I am worried I will change it to the wrong thing and then insurance will be void or whatever.

Thanks!

Oh- and I have tried to call the DVLA but it is like the phone number is broken :roll:

Common for it to be noted down as " Van with Windows" by DVLA on v5.
Although you can put it down as DCIV (Double Cab In Van)

Downside is you will have to stick to lower speed limits :wink:
