The retirement van search may be over! (1 Viewer)

[BreweryDave]

Sorry, I misunderstood I thought that you were retiring, and another old git like me at 65+++ like a load of others on here. My van at 3860 kg is an HGV and I do need a medical, that I will not get because of my GP attitude.

Lol! I am very lucky in that I will be 50 when I retire.
HGV is over 7500kg - but at 70 you need a medical to drive over 3500 and up to 7500 - still a medical but quite basic and only a dvla requirement - not quite HGV I believe you can get a driving licence medical at various doctors who specialise in this so you don't have to rely on your GP necessarily - if that helps!

Beautiful van.....but what's the 'a w' test please?

 

[BreweryDave]

Pullingers have the exact model in their showroom and on their website - although I'll have a different interior (not liking that leather!) and hopefully in the silver body paint.

Thank you, don't think I've seen it abbreviated before

Only blokes admit needing the room though

seriously though it needs checking out before you buy, on our first the door wouldn't shut if I sat down because of my knees, actually worse it burst open with the slightest movement, even before we got involved in 'a w'

Yes I must admit that's the one thing I do miss from the caravan, it's fantastic rear washroom, swopped for a cupboard bathroom, and, yep, it's a bit tight
