Hi
Have just bought our first motor home, which a a left hand drive with uk plates. It has uk tax at the moment obviously. We are off to Italy and France for six months each in February and I have no idea what to do about the tax. Do we continue uk tax or get the vehicle registered in Italy and France and pay their tax? Do we have to register the vehicle there as we are going to be there for a little while? Any advice would be appreciated.
Also if anyone has any advice about good insurance that has unlimited European cover, that would be appreciated too.
Thanks

No legal way around that as far as I'm aware - you may be able to take MOT equivalent tests in the other countries but they will have no legal standing.
The only way to get a 13 month MOT is to renew exactly one month before the existing one expires - you would then get a full year added to the original dates. So, for example, if your MOT expires 13th February 2014 and you get the vehicle tested on the 13th January 2014 the new certificate would run through to the original expiry date in February 2015 - if that makes sense.
Unfortunately you can't get this 13 month period if you renew more than 1 month ahead :roll:
If the above doesn't fit in with your certificate dates you may just have to 'pop' back into the UK for an MOT.

If it ain't broke..... Don't fix it!
