Give me a shout if you need anything
We are often in Plymouth as our daughter is at the Uni there. We were at the Riverside site last weekend, when we went down to pick her and her stuff up.
Ah get on Chris !! Nice van yes it’s nice there isn’t it , that’s about 2 mile away from me
Imminently becoming a T6 owner, with it (needs a name) being delivered on Thursday. Had a motorhome for 3 years until Feb 21 and took that around the NC500 and also down through Germany touring the Romantische Strabe. Had a folding camper before that.
Looking forward to getting used to our next camping machine. Hoping I don’t find the 109bhp engine too underpowered.
Sorting insurance is the first challenge that’s proving harder than it should be (that’s was my first post!)

Don’t forget to quote the van cave with A plan and save another 10%!
A Plan seem to be well-regarded by some, but they don't like high-value campers... at least they didn't like mine.
"It's come out as a refer due to the value. We'll call you back tomorrow when we've talked to the underwriter." They never came back to me.
It's not rocket-science to conclude they weren't interested in my business, but pretty poor of A Plan to not call me back.

Try NFU, by far the cheapest option for me.
I don’t think that there’s any single insurer that is best for everyone, there are so many varying stories from people, but everyones circumstances are different.
When calling A-Plan, make sure it’s the Thatcham branch because they are the modified van specialists.

Agreed, but I think a lot of insurers need to catch up with the market. Recent inflation has resulted in a decently-specced new van costing well over £45k and a high-end camper conversion can easily cost north of £35k, and yet many insurers appear to not like campers over £80k (at least not for a reasonable premium).
Thanks all for the suggestions. LV seems the best bet for me so far. Haven’t managed to speak to anyone at A-Plan yet, they don’t make it easy with not responding to contact forms filled in and phone line only being open until 5pm. Had forgotten what a faff ringing around is for insurance, as opposed to doing a quick annual quote on confused or similar.
Adrian Flux said increasing values and thefts have led them to requiring trackers to provide theft cover for any camper over £40/45k ( can’t remember which).

Same here, they ended up quoting me something crazy! I though I was the odd one out!A Plan seem to be well-regarded by some, but they don't like high-value campers... at least they didn't like mine.

LV same for me, over £100 cheaper than A Plan.. I guess it’s down to mileage and use etc.. LV process was so much simpler too..
Did this ever happen? We have recently moved down from the Midlands and are now just outside Barnstaple, would be good to get a little group meet up planned if anyone is interested?
