Hi All,

Can I possibly ask you guys who have purchased "expensive" RVs - let's say over £130,000 - who you insured with please ?

I've emailed a few and they all come back stating the risk amount (£140k) is too much for them to insure.

So, how do you guys with "expensive" RVs manage ?

Thanks
Paul

Thanks for the quick reply Duadua

I had been advised to contact Vaughan at NFU Canterbury and we emailed a few times but now its like he's dropped off the planet.

I will get in touch with Helen in Louth.




Thanks for the email, rft

I will email paul (as you're the MD - is there a MHF discount? Very Happy)

It is only Helen in Louth who deals with this.

Good news was the premiums dropped by 50% this year, as they use a different "base" policy. My words not theirs.

Mr RFT, come on down!

You're an MD of an insurance company? and you're a member of MHF
. You must know better than ANY insurance co what the needs/wants/attitudes of vanners are?........from a personal point of view, I'm sure that you, as a member of this comunity will understand the difference between a fulltimer and a pikey?
Any chance of writing up a proper full timers policy?
or at least explaining why your colleuges in the industry seem to be so terrified of taking on HONEST, HARDWORKING, TAXPAYING fulltimers like me? Embarassed

Not an insurance company, only a humble insurance broker! We don't don't presently make a speciality out of motorhomes and campervans. However, we do insure lots of high net worth people and those with lots of cars. It was the high value that encouraged me to 'come out'.

It could be that we might have a market for fulltimers. How would we differentiate between HHT fulltimers and the 'others' in a simple but realistic way?

Good grief, straight for talking from an insurance man! L.O.L Very Happy (no offence intended Very Happy )

Yep, fair point.
How about empoyers records, tax records, electoral role, contact details. i know some people might be against this sort of thing, but personally, I've never been worried about it. i've always taken the attitude that I'm doing nowt wrong, so I've nowt to hide. Very Happy

You will find one has piles of wood and a bonfire outside, hangs around in groups of similar minded illiterates, is overun with snotty nosed kids and doesn't like to pay taxes - the other is a "pikey" - BOOM BOOM !!

Sorry couldn't resist Very Happy

I have today been refused cover (quote) for a £50000 Rapido with NFU because i have no other insurance with them. (declined to quote was the reply from them) Shocked

If i insure my car and my house or take out life insurance they will consider it, so they can stuff it where the farmers put their manure.
