In another topic "no interest in Teardrops", a member mentioned that he had saved the chassis and some equipment from an older caravan and was going to use this to build his own caravan.
Now that got me to thinking about how that would work and would roughly the same rules apply as they do in building a customised car?
IE, would the chassis have to be replated because the weights etc had changed from the original van to the new one?
Who would you take it to to have it replated?
Would the new laws regarding reverse/braked wheels apply to the new build or would the law accept that the chassis/brakes being from an older van would still be okay today?
Me thinks that building a customised caravan may be a minefield especially when it came to insuring it.
Has anyone any thoughts on this?
