hi all.
how can i get around this?
the van i intend to build will just be a day van and will sleep in it 1 nigt max at a time.
will have a bed and a fitted cooker and thats about it.

i presume it cant be re register as a motor home as it needs table, water supply and prob a window but im sure i wont get it under normal van insurance. as soon as i mention cooker or bed they will put the phone down.
how have others got round this?
thanks
ian

You need to use as specialist insurer.

I use these and always get a realistic quote, you can also agree the value of your van if required.

yup - aviva couldnt get it into their heads - computer said no. Used Adrian Flux/HIC in the end. Glynwoods is meant to be better tho.

Try HIC as above, I am insured with them as a camper even though my V5 is down as minibus, I have a fixed bed, a means of cooking and a washing up bowl and that conforms to what they require, saved a fortune over just insuring as a panel van, also get unlimited mileage too

Exactly the same requirements as I got mine for and it took £450 off the panel van insurance quote
