Yes. The Ford Roller Team motorhome is under 3500kg and can be driven by anyone with a full UK driving licence which includes category B.

Accepted Answer

Our Insurance is with Alan Boswell. All drivers must be between the ages of 25 and 70. All drivers must have held a full licence for a minimum of 2 years, with a maximum of 6 penalty points.
