Not sure about Folding campers, but you could try the National Farmers Union, phone number should be in the phone book.

Shelley, join the Conway Owners Club, you don't have to have a Conway. It costs £15.00 per year. Then you can insure with their special scheme & get 20% discount. I saved £18.00, so more than covered cost of joining.

Ours went through as a trailer tent even though it says on the policy folding camper. We have insured it once through C&cc club and once through peninne and Richard Keen. Caravan guard also do it link from this site.

I wondered the same when we got ours but the insurance companies  just seem to class FCs as the same as TTs. If they insure TTs and caravans then FCs should not be a problem. Did ours through the C&CC but don't think we'll be renewing the membership this year as we've never bothered with any of their sites. Liked the Big Book of Sites tho'.

we are also with caravan guard, we are insured for around £4000 and it cost us £82 for a year. if they insure tt then i dont see why they wouldnt insure folding campers as well.

check out your car insurance I think it covers you for a trailer, if your campers old like ours you might not want to fork out loads on insurance.

I might be wrong as hubby deals with all things like insurance and cars, I`m sure someone will know otherwise.

P.s how was your first trip out, did you love the clubman.Chatted with you when you were picking it up.
