If you can be bothered, print out the spec sheets for a couple of the bigger people-carrier things. Just as long and wide and heavy, nearly as high. Ask them if people-carriers are defined as cars or vans; when they say 'cars', thrust your evidence in their face and drive on the boat.

Wightlink ferries currently charge £29 each way 'night flyer' (booked for after 10pm) for ANY T25 from Lymington to Yarmouth - be it a tin top, high top, pop top. The High Top Transit also went through at the same 'car' rate, and it's a little bigger/taller than a T25.
We managed to sneak on the 8.15pm ferry going there, and also an earlier one coming back - it's always worth trying earlier to see if they've any spaces......

On a slightly different tack, going across the Severn Bridge to Wales a couple of months ago I was charged as a van and had to pay an extra four quid, I think. When I complained she said campers go at car rates but I had stripped the inside of mine and only had a portable cooker. I had the mattress on the floor with my duvet but still she insisted it was not a camper!!!
Has this happened to anybody else?

Not veering off topic or nuffin, but the policy at Glastonbury Festival (if you want to get into the camper van fields) is that it must have a cooker and a plumbed-in sink.
Take the registration document, if that says caravanette on it?
