Has anyone had experience of registering a UK reg camping car in Spain?

Is it a reasonable proceedure or the usual Spanish torture

Almost certainly the latter and depending on what it is it could range from extremely difficult to near impossible.

I wish you the very best of luck!

Well, the question should be if it makes sense. The cons are RHD and a gas installation not according to Spanish regulations. The Pros depend on how lonmg you would use the vehicle in Spain. The bottom line: better sell in UK and buy a used campervan here, there are plenty.
