Having spent the morning on the phone to various insurance companies seem to be getting nowhere.

We are having a T5 Transporter panel van converted to a camper. However, it is being done by a small local firm and not on the "approved" list that most insurers appear to have so that means many I have called won't insure.

Then we also want to go travelling around Europe. We are not sure for how long etc but would like a minimum of 240 days cover, plus breakdown cover. Again finding many only offer 90 days and then you have to ring to extend but they cannot give costs as to what extending will be.

So far have tried:

Adrianflux -only 90 days cover, ring to extend
Caravanguard - no
Shield - yes 240 days
comfort-insurance - no (and completely useless)
safeguard - no
Scenic - 365 days but very very expensive (still £200 more for 240 days than Shield)

So any ideas, any recommendations?

We're with Saga. £179, but I don't have a clue about conversions.

If you are over 50 you can insure with Saga & their motorhome policy includes all year comprehensive cover in Europe.

Camping and caravan club insure selfbuilds and give 365 days Euro cover so they should be okay.
