[Déclaration commune des revenus - calculations]

Could you possibly share? I have got the same question! Thanks

[Anyone registered a Mercedes in France?]

Just a final update, the Mercedes concessionnaire replied to my letter (it only took them a month!!) saying that the lights had to be fitted by themselves and as this was not the case, they could not issue the cert. After another email to Merc Homologation dept, they finally agreed to accept an attestation from our local garage confirming quite simply that the lights had been changed. This we did and they sent us our attestation de conformité européen within the week. After 1 1/2 hrs in the Prefecture I now have her French reg! Hurrah! But my God it has been painful.

[Registering a Campervan]

If you are looking at converting a van to a camper, you must get hold of the book 'Aménagement des camping-cars' published by AFNOR which details all of the legislation that you must comply with in order for the various elements of the conversion to be signed off by Bureau Veritas/Qualigaz and finally DRIRE. The 'normes' are very very detailed/onerous and it would be a shame to do your conversion only to be told none of it complies with the standards!

We have nearly completed the conversion of our Merc LWB Sprinter. It is currently insured as a 'fourgon' and it can only be insured as a 'camping car' once it has passed through DRIRE. So if something catastrophic happens like an accident & the van is written off, we will only get back the value of a secondhand van - the conversion costs and interior fixtures & fittings will not be covered.
