My friend has a converted camper van and has put some additional seats in it to accomodate for a group of us going to france via dover. He hasn't bothered to update hus v5 document and I'm not sure how the vehicle is insured. Does anyone know if the v5 etc is checked at either the uk or French border? I'm worried we won't won't be able to cross and it will ruin the holiday for everyone :/

Never heard of V5's being checked at the border but unless he's notified his insurance company of the increased passenger carrying capability, I'd say it's very likely not to be insured in line with his current insurance stipulations. Increasing passengers would be a big change compared to, say, a set of expensive alloys or a sports exhaust..

How many seats does it have now?
