I am retired and thinking of buying a very large American motor home. I made enquiries at several sellers of RVs (Stingray RV, Itchyfeet and a several others) of whom some say you can drive them on a UK car licence, while others say you can't. I also subscribed to American RV magazine and bought a couple of other magazines and there are adverts by people selling secondhand RVs saying they can be driven on a car licence.

I looked at the DVLA website and their leaflets and it is not clear. I spoke to the DVLA and they couldn't really explain it either. So I wrote to the DVLA and have had replies from three different people which simply failed to answer the question I was putting to them. Useless.
