    The kit comes in and out, I know the ones seen the ads. I'd say the car says on normal road tax and insurance. You might want to take the gas out when you aren't camping i.e. using it day to day but other than that you aren't modifying the vehicle so why would there be insurance implications. As always maybe ask the insurance?

    Someone on one of the FB groups said they're not even insuring big VW Caravalle type vehicles if they've windows the whole way around - as in, they're originally a 9 seater rather than a van. If that's true you've no hope with a Picasso. It's a pity as I'd like the views with the windows.

    Phew! They said it's a new thing. I was hoping it wasn't true.

    If you saw it on Fakebook just remember a lot of what's there probably isn't true :D

    The signal to noise ration is overwhelming there alright. I stopped using it 5 years ago.
    I'm also very wary of those who do.
