    ordinarily you can't do this, especially with the type of vehicle that you mention. Although I am from the north so maybe the rules are slightly different up here. The only time I came across when this is permitted is when the commercial vehicle was more of the car van style, than the T4 you mention.

    regarding the trip i can't see you having any bother with customs unless its an outside EU country, such as some of the former soviet block ones

    Is it on holidays your going and using the van to "live" out of? Ie like a camper van?

    If so I don't see a problem.

    I know its not a camper! ;)

    But all you have to say if stopped at customs etc is that you are on holidays and using to van to sleep in etc!
