No, I've just got a SWB van (an 80), not a camper :)

Just picked up this thread.

have a wee read at the thread I posted on tyres in the 4x4 section.

viewtopic.php?f=44&t=102548

Basically a van (Class 7 MOT) MUST run with commercial tyres BUT on a camper (Class 4 MOT) non commercial tyres will not a fail an MOT as long as they have the minimum load rating..

So it is possible depending on the tyre but as mentioned, check with the insurance company first.
