So way to go is a removable conversion that keeps it as a car or van & that way you can truthfully insure as an unmodified vehicle, ie whatever it is now & has always been.

That would be my chosen route, especially as you're only after a "basic" camper.

These seem expensive on first look..but they do give some neat ideas as to what can be done:

Thank you both for your help. DVLA was a nightmare in sending back my change of use V5. It was previously registered as an animal ambulance, now changed to MPV....//.... It Took 1month of letters, photos and e-mails to conclude....

..now there's a surprise!...

In the past, we have found them to be shambolic with anything slightly out of the ordinary. We had cause to correct the GVW/revenue weight shown on the V5 of our last van..and it took months of emails, phone calls, letters, photos,visits to the local office(since closed) etc..I'd ask 6 different "operatives" and get a dozen conflicting answers!?! 

They even sent me to a VOSA depot at one point (..and the chaps there told me that Swansea were, quote "..pi**ing you about mate!..").

..yep...best keep it as an MPV now...
