Ringing around for quotes to reinsure and found that Caravan Guard will not insure you, new for old, if your caravan is worth more than 35000 to replace unless you have a tracker fitted. I bought our van last year for 31500 but this year they cost 35800 and the Coachman VIP does not have a tracker!

Any recommendations for other insurers?

CAMC always found them reasonably priced.

I'll second that.
I've also insured my car through them. They were very competetive at the time, with a "beat your quote by £25" offer.

I came into this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

We dumped the CAMC because they were too expensive in comparison to a normal insurance company. We had a proactive Phantom tracker fitted and are with Caravan Guard whose new for old policy is very similar to CAMC.

Most insurers will not insure a van for over 30k without a tracker or a alarm and you can’t just pull any tracker or alarm on it, it will need to be a insurance approved one! We found this out last year when we purchased a new van.
We ending up getting a SmarTrack Caravan Protector Tracker it costs us £229 fully fitted plus £12.99 p/m
