No, you do not need to tell VOSA that you have converted the van into a campervan. It is very important to inform your insurer that your van is being converted into a campervan. You need to get the right campervan insurance. This step is crucial. Re-registering the van as a campervan with VOSA has some benefits. However, it can be hard to do.
