Hi all, I just wanted to flag this up in case it helps anyone who is shopping around for insurance quotes.
The van is a 2020 reg T6.1 High Line Panel Van that I bought last August(2021) I have since worked through the process of converting to a camper, all the usual mods, including Kitchen with twin gas hob, sink, Dometic fridge, RIB 130cm seat/bed, side bars, 17" steel swampers etc etc etc but still not quite finished. The estimated value today of between 54k - 56k. I have limited myself to 7,000 miles for next year as my first year of really using it(I have only done 2k this year due to working on it). I can always increase the miles for the following year.
After shopping around a few companies I have received a quote this morning from Chris at 'A' Plan of £435.00, for cover, £350 Excess, £90. Windscreen. 180 days of EU Cover. There is no requirement for me to have a tracker fitted, but it is something I am going to do and have been consulting with Dave-Tech(Chris). I will book in with him later this month. My previous insurers who covered me with it as a van charged me £475 last year and quoted me a renewal price for this year of £485 - with the van valued at 36k last year. That was without them taking into consideration the mods I have done and spent on it and the increase in value from last year.
I am not going to post the figures that I was quoted from the other companies on here, but enough to say they were not as good for me as 'A'Plan.
Thank you to the T6 Forum for providing me with the contacts as a start point to obtain my insurance quotes, me being a relative 'Newby'.
I hope this helps someone.

and a search on here, arrived at A Plan (Now rebranded as Howdens Insurance) at Thatcham who 'specialise' in converted vans.
