Keeping the vehicle legal on longer trips - any clues??!
We are planning on being away for a couple of years and I am really confused regarding the legal situation for our truck.
According to UK law we have to register our truck as 'permanently exported' if it is out of the country for more than 6 months but we won't have an address abroad so that is not an option. We have to have the vehicle taxed and MOT'd to keep the insurance legal so what does everyone else do for longer trips...?
Obviously we will ensure the MOT is new when we leave but once that runs out it will invalidate the insurance and we are not coming back to the UK from Africa just for an MOT!!
Also, how can I insure the contents of the truck for the full value - I will have 2 motorbikes, laptop and camera equipment on board.
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - I couldn't find it.
