We are looking to buy a new motorhome next spring but are concerned that we will be lumbered with the excessive VED rates for vehicles costing over £40,000 due to be introduced in April 2017. Can anyone enlighten us as to whether the extra £310 on top of the flat rate £140 will apply to motorhomes? All the dealers say "don't worry, it doesn't apply" but they're not the ones who are going to have to pay £450 a year for five years!

Hi Guys, after reading this thread I'm both concerned  and confused. We have ordered a brand new Bailey MH which will be delivered and registered on March 1st 2017. Will the new rules apply to us?

Thanks

I wonder how all this ties in with the Ultra low emissions zones due in 2020. If emissions are not declared on the VED will they be banned from these zones? Just a thought.

Write your comments here...that would be 99% of motorhomes ! bit drastic  and draconian.

I doubt the authorities will be concerned, they weren't when the London LEZ was first introduced. Even now, there must be many motorhomes which still cannot go to the Abbey Wood site.

Write your comments here...mmm, its getting more and more tempting to use a false number plate, all these draconian laws and private parking firms using ANPR, hardly any ACTUAL mobile police patrols, policing by consent is losing all of its goodwill.
