Hi I have my insurance cover note and it says that my ford freeda is a carvanette, however my log book says motorhome. I went back to the insurance company who say that is what she is recorded as. Is there any difference between a carvanette and a motorhome? I I have googled it but can not seem to get an answer

thanks in advance

Assume you have a full conversion in your van? If not, then it should not be listed as either. I think my V5 says motorcaravan but I don't think it will matter either way.

The V5 normally registers Body Type ie Motor Caravan,Tipper etc, it doesn't matter what is inside as long as its not Shergar.

If it is converted (and sometimes even if it isn't) the "Body Type" description should be "Motorcaravan"
