Just found this on the VW Crafter (2017+) and MAN TGE - Self Build Group Facebook page.
"Just had the conversation with SV Tech on Friday about this very subject of updating the vans (2018 Crafter LWB 140bhp) to 3900Kg GVW.
Cost £312 Inc vat.
No requirement to have body type changed to "Motorcaravan" on V5 - although obviously speed limits will remain as a Van (only benefit of changing to Motorcaravan body type).
One benefit was that as the vans GVW was over 3500Kg the annual road tax would fall to £165 from it's current £210 as van would now be in the private HGV (or was it LGV?) category.
No mods required to suspension, although was advised that if semi-air suspension was fitted to the rear leaf springs increasing the rear axles payload capacity then vans GVM could go as far as 4200Kg."

That's a master not a traffic.Very late to this thread, but have you had a look at Renault, only ask as before we had ours I wouldn't have chose one but I'm now converted.
High enough to stand up with ease, 35 mpg always, drives like a car.
Can't fault it really.
Yes but s 2007 ,2.2tdci chain engine ,semi high roof mwb.Anyone converted one?

Ours has got 345000 on it, built from ambulance and a caravan insides.That is one than I will not touch.
I'm sure there are vans with 200k miles without a fault. But I brought s lemon 2002 2.2 movano which leaked oil then died, 2nd engine was a dud too.
No garage would touch it in the end.
Not that it wasn't a bad van ran lovely when it did run. I ran it to West Wales, Devon, Dorset, Northumberland and loved it. It's got our old caravan in it so it's a shame to be getting rid of it.
Cheers James
Exactly I must have just got a duffer 2.2 were a known weak engine tbh. 2.5 much better.Ours has got 345000 on it, built from ambulance and a caravan insides.
It's 08 with 2.5

No there's no room underneath , agreed, mines even worse as it has air suspension pump and tanks underneath as well.I've got one. L3H3 Vauxhall Movano. 150bhp 2.3. It's pretty solid. I like the plastic H3 roof.
The main issue is that there is not much room underneath for tanks. Too many braces etc. I wanted it winterised with onboard tanks anyway, but could barely fit a small underslung LPG tank under there. Not sure if being dual rear wheel made this aspect harder.
