With a C1+E?

Or even a B1+E?

Or even a B1+E?

I'm not sure but I have been told any 5th wheeler needs a non standard license

DRIVING LICENCES​

In the UK, the driving licence required for towing a fifth wheel caravan depends on the weight of the vehicle and the caravan combined. Here's a breakdown of the licence categories:

1. Category B: If you passed your car driving test (Category B) on or after January 1, 1997, you can drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to a Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) of 3,500 kg. The MAM is the combined weight of the vehicle and the trailer when fully loaded.
2. Category B+E: If you wish to tow a larger fifth wheel caravan with a combined weight exceeding 3,500 kg, you will need to obtain a Category B+E licence. To do so, you must take an additional practical test to demonstrate your ability to safely drive with a larger trailer.

It's important to check the combined weight of your tow vehicle and the fifth wheel caravan to ensure you have the appropriate driving licence. Remember to account for passengers, cargo, and fluids when calculating the weight.

So what is the requirement if you already have BE (before 1997) ? Do you still have to do the additional practical test?

A lot of metal for a tiny living space ! Bet it's not the original type engine ...they had a job to move themselves never mind tow another
