We are bringing a UK caravan back to Spain, where we live. We have a Spanish car and have been told the UK van has to be registered here in Spain. Is this correct and how do we do it?

I have no idea on the registering it but i am sure like France you can take it out you just wont have spanish papers for it. can you get some info from a delaer over in Spain?

i think if it is not registered you cannot sell it over their but dont quote me on it, i will try to track some info down.

As far as I know, you cant register a UK caravan in Spain and drive with a Spanish car. It has to be bought and registered in Spain and if it weighs over 750kg it has to have a seperate number plate.

Well I've never heard of anything like this. Logically I would have thought that a Caravan is treated in just the same way as a trailer. It doesn't have an MOT or vehicle ownership documents so as long as teh manufacturers weight limits are observed then it should be fine.

Still someone is coming up with something here, I will keep watching.

I have spent a lot of time in Spain over the last five years and I know of many people who have bought Spanish cars and tried to bring in their UK caravan. It cant be re-registered there and would be illegal if towed with a Spanish car. You even have to have your car checked over by an ITV station (like our MOT) if you have a tow bar fitted and this has to be recorded on your log book. You can bring a Spanish caravan to the UK and just put new number plates on it, no problem, but visa versa - forget it. You can also take a British car to Spain and get it re-registered and plated in Spain, but even thats not easy. Bureaucracy has gone mad over there.

I also seem to think that in Germany the caravan has to have an MOT as well as the car. Not sure about other countries. Would not surprise me though!

I have just brought my caravan back from spain. If you live in Spain and are driving a Spanish registered car, then you must register your caravan, they have to have a seperate caravan number plate. the caravan has to be TUV tested were it is also registered. However, if you intend to tow the caravan with a British registered vehicle, there is no need to get the van TUV tested.

Hi, a Spanish van only needs a separate number plate if it weighs over 750kg. There are a number of Spanish Manufactures who keep their vans maximum below this, well on the plate anyway. If you tow a Spanish van with a British registered vehicle then you would only need a British number plate on the caravan. As you say, there is no need to get the van tested.

We also live in Spain and you have to get a Gestor to do the ´matriculation´ however I think it has to have a current ITV and I understand that there are some issues with UK vans in SPain and ITV´s. We have just bought a new van here and it is the gestor who is doing our marticulation and it is costing us about 150 euros. You may find that you need every bit of paperwork, invoices etc and sometimes translated into Spanish as we did when we registered our English car. Good luck Ian and Susannah Very Happy Smile
