Hi, does anybody know any insurers that insure twin axle German vans.

As soon as I say its a German twin axle they dont want to know. Have had a couple of quotes the best £353, seems expensive to me what do you think?I

The van is a Dethleffs rally nomad 2008

Thanks

Have just tried Camping and caravan.........£463!!!

Thanks anyway

IMHO £353 for a twin axle Dethleff is not bad, lets face it vans dont come much better again IMHO, is your post code L or PR, this does tend to make a difference, anyway if you are really not happy with the premium I will swap you for my Sterling eccles

Ha Ha,

Thanks but no thanks Stew,

wasnt really thinking about insurance when we bought it, just fell in love straight away, am sure ur van is lovely aswell. Yes we do live in L postcode so that probably makes a difference too.

Like I said wasnt really sure how much it would be but feel better now people on here have said its reasonable.

Hi,

The only place who would insure my 2010 Hobby Prestige was the Camping and Caravan Club. I had been insured through the Caravan Club  with previous vans for over 15 years, but they would not insure the Hobby. It will be on a secure seasonal pitch for the forseeable future, so it's easy money for the insurers, I would have thought.... no chance of a towing accident, which must be the reason for a large number of claims.

Anyway, I shall be leaving the CC when the renewal is due... no need for them any more! By the way, which companies gave you quotes - most wouldn't touch my Hobby with a bargepole!

Liz.

Cades insurance was the one at £353, that was at the show yesterday, asked at coast and towergate bakers who both looked at me like I had 2 heads.

Thanks for that info, Jenna. I will make a note of them for when it is due for renewal.

I know what you mean, you are made to feel like some sort of freak for daring to have a German caravan. For what it's worth, I love mine!!

As others have said £353 seems reasonable.  I don't think we pay much less for our British van with the cc.

You could always try E&L.  They might well be cheaper but from other posts they will move heaven and hell to avoid paying out.  They have a bad name for equine insurance also.
