What licence do I need to drive a van that's been converted to a camper?
I am 18-years-old and I've just passed my driving test. I have bought a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter which I've converted into a campervan. Can I drive this sort of van on my licence as I want to travel all around Europe in it?

A full UK driving licence (category B) entitles you to drive a conventional, rigid-axle van that weighs up to 3.5 tonnes. If the camper exceeds this weight, you might need to take extra tests before you can legally drive it.
