Why ask the Co-op why not?

Because the Co-op insurance have already stated that it's not in their policy not to be able to transfer the no claims from a motorhome so it's pointless asking the same question again. By finding out from an alternative insurance company will give the OP an opportunity to find out some facts and maybe get a cheaper quote.

My hubby spent 10 years as a taxi driver and when he retired last year couldn't use the no claims from the taxi insurance on our car. Consequently I am the main insured driver and he is named driver. I've tried different companies and they all say the same. I cannot understand why a taxi is not classed as a car for insurance purposes.

It's because the taxi was classed as a business which requires a different type of insurance cover so the no claims discount wouldn't apply to a cover for social and domestic pleasure even though it may be considered unfair. The OP having insured a motorhome would come under social and domestic pleasure which in this case the no claims should be honoured and granted as the towcar should be insured under the same category.
