Just reading the Eastern Daily Press newspaper and noticed an advert from Simpsons Motorhomes and I quote....'AVOID THE ROAD FUND LICENCE INCREASE FROM £265 TO £2135 ON 2020 MODELS'!
Have I missed something whilst being away from home.
I am sure one of you is going to put me wise.
Posted on 28/09/2019 20:56 by hitchglitchWe are going to the dealers tomorrow to look at pre-registered 2019 motorhomes to avoid the price increase. They say that the “luxury tax” doesn’t apply but I think that’s wrong. We’ll see!

Apparently the current Peugeot engine is Cat. 6 and the new one (next year) is Cat. 6D which ironically has better emissions but has to comply with more stringent standards and therefore is subject to higher rates. At least, that’s what I was told this morning! The dealer also said that they are proceeding on the assumption that motorhomes greater than 3500 kg will be included in the new tax regime and will be indicating increased prices accordingly.
Anyway, all that is encouraging us to go for a discounted pre-registered model rather than wait for the show as the new models which we are looking at will be largely unchanged.
