The easiest way is to have a removable camping interior. That way it does not need to comply with Dvla rules regarding a camper & car can stay registered as a car & can be insured as a car. Google 'Berlingo boot jump' to get some ideas.

Agreed, surely if the camping "bits" are not a permanent fixture it can stay registered as a car?
Otherwise, every time you removed it, you would have to re-register it .......... (sorry, that was a bit of a joke).

I thought the idea of using the Berlingo as a camper was to have the benefit using as a camper when you need to go camping and use it as a normal 5 seater when your not camping. What does surprise me is the price of the pre converted camper Berlingo's having my 2007 (modutop) for sale in Ireland at 3000 euro only two enquires. and having just bought a 2012 (modutop) Auto I find that the 2007 offers much more room. although the boot camper fits both cars
