Some friends of ours have just had their motorhome matriculated; the steering wheel is the English side (sorry no good with l & r); they just had to remove a big bumper thingy from the back.

The door is the same side as the steering wheel.

But now it's all registered on Spanish plates.

Theres a thread on matriculating motorhomes on here somewhere, its generally a problem but it seems not impossible

Hi Mitzy,

re :- Motorhomes

Yes they can be done but as of January they need a special ITV if you can not produce a certificate of european conformity. This special ITV is equal to the English "type testing"; last time I heard it was in excess of 1400€

So not impossible, just can be VERY expensive

I don't know much about motor homes but isn't that unusual?

This means that in the UK the door will open into the face of passing traffic whereas, on the continent, the door will open on the nearside (ie not into the face of passing traffic) which is correct.

No not unusual. I used to have a Rapido which is French, but of course it was manufactured on a British chassis so was RHD & RH Door. It used to annoy people on UK camp sites as your door would open onto "their space"
