EDIT..Sorry, scroll down half way.
Hi, actually they are selling the bigger version of mine, the 3100S (31ft) versus my 2450S (24.5 ft). The width dimensions are exactly the same....
Following your link I called them and they explained that the DVLA started measuring after someone brought in an over length vehicle (not over width). At first they had to be measured, but now the DVLA are happy with their range and are not asking for it anymore.. They did have to bring them in with the awning removed tho'.
It seems DVLA policy is even more of a postcode lottery than for NHS treatment.
Kind regards,
Ian

Hi Ian assuming you get nowhere with the DVLA, is there anyway you can remove the wheel arch flairs? and if you could would this make it less than 100.4"?

are totally different to the Bramhill -v- Destination RV case.
I may be wrong but the couple had bought the secondhand RV and using and enjoying it for quite some time.
Then for some unknown reason perhaps they'd had enough of RVing they tried using the fact that it was 'oversized' to get their money back off Destination and I think it was for that reason or something very similar that the judge threw out the case.
Having said ALL that has anyone noticed that notes like the following
Quote:
Misrepresentation Act :

All descriptions, dimensions, reference to condition and other details are given in good faith and are believed to be correct, but intending purchasers should not rely on them as statements or representation of fact, but must satisfy themselves by inspection or otherwise as to the correctness of each item
have suddenly appeared within the dealers adverts???

My understanding of the judges ruling was that it was "fit for purpose" because although illegal in law its wasn't in practice as the power's that be had known and ignored the size limits for years.
So the dealers are off the hook

Hi everyone,
Thanks again for the input, and the links to other sites areas - all very interesting.
Can anybody point me to a link where I can read the actual regulations? I understand the width max to be 2.55m, but I wish to know officially what is included in that measurement, porch lights, exhausts, awnings, slide out awnings, wheel flairs, mirrors etc.
The only thing I seem to slightly disagree with at some of the comments regarding the issues is regarding the dealer versus the individual. Although I totally agree there should not be one rule for them and one for the individual, I don't believe it would be in our long term interests to try and stop the dealers getting the wide vehicles through, but try to enrol their help in ensuring that we can all do so? Maybe I'm a bit naive....!
Kind regards,
Ian

I have tried searching for guidance on this without success, however it is my understanding that everything is included except mirrors and side repeater lights. Awnings, wheel flares/arches, slides etc are included..
It is interesting that American manufacturers quote the 'wall to wall' as the width which would exclude all the above in the measurement.
