Car or van license

murf2101 · 2022-03-17 16:52:08

I saw a Mercedes sprinter 413 advertised. The ad says it can be driven on a car license. Is this the case? Also, Is there a limit if you're driving a camper?

AFAIK once it's under 3500kg you can drive it on a car licence.

Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

Once it's been derated to 3.5t, lots of people do this with campers to avoid the cost of getting a C/C1 licence. If its still on a 4t plate you need C1.

just be aware some of the 4t sprinters have a much higher kerbweight than a 3.5t version, so even if it’s been downplated and you are doing a camper conversion, that’s less weight you can add in people/water/furniture etc.
