You can convert anything into a motorhome but the 9 seats may be the problem.
Also remember the weight once fitted out

not entirely sure the length is the problem as it is obviously registers as a psv. I think I read somewhere the declassification will be deemed on the appearance or what they see it as.
The weight maybe a problem with licencing. Ie holding the relevent qualifiçation to drive it.

the maximum length of any rigid vehicle in the UK is 12m unless it's a bus/coach, that's the problem weight is no issue it's length

You can convert it you need to declassify it as a bus and keep it under 9 seats including driver.

I read somewhere about declassifying and I am sure now a bus will always be a bus and not a motorhome unless you change the appearance.
