I think he's wrong about cheap road tax.
It probably states LGV on the V5 and the only thing that gets changed if you submit it as a conversion to DVLA is body type from Panel Van to Motor Caravan or Van with Windows. They don't change taxation class. DVLA don't like changing taxation class unless there is very good reason.
In fact LGV are taxed at a flat rate of £215. If you managed to swing it as a PLGV you would probably pay MORE tax, as tax bands for that are based on engine size and emissions.
The only exception I know is for HGV which attract huge tax and if you manage to get them reclassified as caravans some manage to do it as PHGV which comes in at a quirky £170. I think this lower rate is historical and to do with showman's vehicles or some anomaly like that.
