    What hoops do i have to go through , and what hurdles do I need to
    jump in order to convert a van/minibus to a mobile workshop.

    Family member who works in films /on set ect is considering purchasing
    one , or converting a suitable base vehicle for set work.

    Any pointers would be welcomed.

    Mods please move if I am in the wrong spot.

    Thanks

    No hoops to jump through for a van, if using a minibus you would need to get it reclassified as a commercial vehicle. Mobile workshops are classed the same as any commercial vehicle for tax and licencing

    What size vehicle you looking at? +/-3.5 ton?

    Less than 3.5 ton.

    I thought there was a different tax rate for mobile workshops.

    So do is there a need to re classify a fitted out workshop van ,

    as a mobile workshop?

    Thanks

    No need to reclassify at all, its just a commercial vehicle. As above, watch the weight and if you do find you are over make sure enough weight can be taken out easily for the cvrt test every year
