    Hi,

    Maybe somebody has some experience with importing Delica as commercial and converting it into campervan. I will be grateful for your input then!

    As far as I can see on the revenue webpage there is no option to import it as a private owner bit only as commercial and rates are excellent 125-300 euro. Can I do it as private person. Should I then convert it to private car prior to campervan conversion or can I pay commercial tax? What about insurance then? I am really confused :)

    The other issue is... can I convert it to the campervan at all?

    I really like the idea of having 4x4 campervan with the benefit of paying lower tax and insurance. The car would be used for weekend escapes all over Ireland / England + once a ear 3 weeks on and off road (light) holidays to Europe.

    thanks

    If you import from outside the EU you get hit for vat I'd see if I could find a mazda bongo first and what ever you do check you can insure it first

    Or how about this http://www.pickndrive.com/car-details.aspx?id=gal3c5J8EpIjYsZ

    The official line from Revenue at the moment is that it should comprise of living accomadation high enough for a person of average height to stand.

    If you look about 15 threads down o the motorhome page you see a thread called 1.8m rule back. Plenty of opinions there.
