Daily Drive/ works van and part time camping van Insurance

[Rawyatt89]

Hi!
I have a t6.1 panel van with CadCo unit- flooring and windows added only. It’s my daily drive/i use it for work, and then put the portable camping kit in for when we go away hiking. It’s reg with DVLA as an LGV, what’s best advice from experience insurance wise? Everything camping wise except the cadco is removed when I’m using for work and I carry expensive kit for work. Shared experiences and advice welcome - insurance renewal time coming up.

Phone some companies and speak to a human being so you can explain exactly what the van is.

The taxation class will be irrelevant to the insurers - it's physical state as regards the extent of any conversion is what they care about, and as no two campers are really identical they're used to talking on the blower regards this.

I'm with Flux, but a forum search on insurance will show plenty of other brokers and insurers to consider.

Insure as a standard van, but be transparent about the camping use and any mods. If the insurer has a problem with that, they'll let you know and you move on to the next insurer.

Agree with Sasquatch above. Taxation class has sweet Fanny Adam’s to do with insurers usage in this instance. Also , yes….. speak to a human. I’m with Howdens (A Plan) via their ‘bespoke commercial ‘ desk (for want of a better description) at Newbury (I think).

Here is number.

Be upfront about what you do and have, and deffo mention the T6 forum as a recommendation as they are very T6 aware and helpful and you’ll probably get a discount.

I deal with Dan.

All mods declared. Future mods covered.

Yep. I did the same when I first got mine new back in ‘22. Recommendations for A Plan off @Pauly on this very forum then lead me to the Direct Contact.
