fanny75 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 We have recently bought a motorhome from the UK, altho its originally from Italy so is LHD. I've imported several cars, but I have a feeling that we need to do something extra with the motorhome. Has anyone recently done anything similar, or can anyone point us in the right direction?Many thanks,Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 When I did this two years ago with a British registered RHD motorhome originally manufactured in Germany I needed French language CoC's for both the base vehicle and for the motorhome conversion.I understand from recent postings that you cannot get a CT without the relevant CoC.If the vehicle was never imported into France and you therefore cannot get a French language CoC you will need to go the DREAL route (formerly DRIRE).

Bob T Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 A CofC is just that, a European CofC, and should not matter what language it is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanny75 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 ok, so we need to get a CofC from ford and from Elnagh then, is that right? Before, if we've had the right number on the UK log book we've not needed to get the CofC - will this still be the case here as we have a Type Approval Number?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I can only relate my experience so can't really go any further for you.Hopefully Sunday Driver will be along shortly to quote chapter and verse. [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroTrash Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 All I can add is whilst we all wait for SD is that I believe the gas installation also has to conform to French norms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Elnagh are a major European manufacturer of camping cars so if your particular model was built since circa 2002 then they are likely to have submitted it for EU whole vehicle type approval as a 'specialist vehicle' and will be able to issue an EU certificate of conformity covering the complete vehicle which will allow you to register it without the need for any further inspection or modification.If not, then you'll have to submit it for a DREAL single vehicle approval inspection (réception de titre isolé). For that, the DREAL will require you to obtain an attestation d'identification from the base vehicle manufacturer, a constructor certificate from Elnagh covering their conversion, a gas safety report from Bureau Veritas, quittus fiscal VAT certificate and a controle technique certificate if the van is over four years old. Once you've submitted your dossier to the DREAL, they will review the documentation and call the van in for an inspection. They will then issue you with a proces-verbal de titre isolé which is your new type approval certificate. Then it's off to the prefecture to obtain your carte grise. http://www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/RTI03-5-1_062011_autocaravane.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
