C Licence

I discovered some months ago that my camper is 4897kg and as ye all know a c1 or c licence is required to drive it. I didn't have one grrrrrrr. So i set about doing the usual theory test and all the lessons in a truck 3 times bigger than my mh and after failing my first try and my test i finally passed my test today and how nice it was to take my Winnie out for a good drive. But my question is can anyone explain the rsa thinking of making a man or woman drive a rigid truck weighing over 10ton just to get a licence to drive a camper. There has to be an easier way for us motorhomers who drive bigger camper to obtain a licence without the whole hassle of driving a monster truck 3 times bigger.

Was thinking of setting up a meet somewhere if any rv owners were interested too. Could have it down here in kerry maybe dingle or killarney or even kenmare. would love to cast my eyes over the other rv's and see where i can improve mine. Iv fully reupholstered the interior and done lots of mechanicals to it. But before the summer closes would love one weekend out somewhere. Will post pic of work done in next few days.

Well done Richard. Can you give an idea of the total cost of getting that c licence?

Theory test
Permit
Lessons
Test
Licence
Etc

Just to give folks an idea of what is involved.

Thx

A few recent pix including the new interior.

Hi Richard she is sweet! Many happy miles together. I think you should post asking if there is an interest in a meet and see how many takers you get. Can us we small ones come along and look at your big machines?
