Just came across this that suggests that most of you have incorrect registration documents if over 3.5 tonnes.
So being a M1 class vehicle you should be PLG, Not PHGV. PHGV is "N" class.

“Motor caravan“: A special purpose M1 category vehicle constructed to include accommodation space which contains at least the following equipment:
(a) Seats and table;
(b) Sleeping accommodation which may be converted from the seats;
(c) Cooking facilities; and
(d) Storage facilities.
This equipment shall be rigidly fixed to the living compartment; however, the table may be designed to be easily removable.
