If its fully converted (& ideally registered as a motor caravan) then you should get a good quote from Camping and Caravanning Club. You don't have to be a member but if you join you'll probably get a lower premium. We pay about £230 fully comp based on 5000 miles/year.

Make sure it's the Camping and Caravanning Club rather than the Caravan Club (they're a bit more snooty and I've no idea if they if even insure Bongos).

Been with Lifesure for 7 years now.

They are only 20 miles down the A1 if you ever need to speak to a real person face to face.
The phones are answered by somebody actually in St Neots and all lines are proper landlines with a number that starts 01480......

I thought he lifesure phone service was excellent. A single call to someone who knew who he was talking about, know bongos and provided a good deal. I was even able to email scans of my NCD and driving license

I'm also with Adrian Flux, £270 with extra cover for driving other people's car fully comp. AND it's an 8 seater MPV.

No one has ever come close for me. Again you speak to a real person. They don't bat an eyelid at mods, either, if you have solar panels, alloys etc.

Are you sure it's fully comp? 3rd Party only is usual.

Thanks for the concern Scanner :) That's why it costs extra - for an extra £40 you upgrade from 3rd party, which is included anyway, to fully comp.

Never heard of or ever been offered that by anybody.

And I've used LOTS of insurers.

That's why I have used Flux and Pete Best for years, they easily tailor the insurance to suit you
When I had my radically modified off roaders they insured them easily and cheaply
