INSURANCE - finding it almost impossible to insure a LWB TGE.

My insurance would not insure my cali this year either, so tried quite a few either a ridiculous quote or will not insure , finely go a realistic price from camping and caravan club , seams to be getting harder each year

seams to be the same for home insurance as well , now with all the floods will be even worse perhaps ?

Try asking on the VW Crafter (2017+) and MAN TGE self build group on Facebook.

Thanks - The main thread about this was already on there.

Can I ask how much the C&CC insurance was?

Take care with the conditions that I was quoted, figure was good but the European number of days was only 30! If that is of no concern to you then OK.

A-Plan – 01635879910 - initially much too high a value!. Re-quoted + £75,000 value with Sabre Insurance good price about £850 BUT only 30 days European cover. No use to us!

I have never even thought about the 30 day exclusion before.
Currently without a Cali but we were thinking about a road trip next year in my wife's Porsche.
May have to have a rethink ???

@Kevthegas that is why I have gone with...

"Adrian Flux - 0800 783 1392 - about £1420 which includes their required tracker included with this insurance period. Re-quoted + £75,000 value with Trinity Lane includes tracker at about £1300 also included excess cover."

With that there is 90 days in Europe during the insurance period so we can get in our usual two about five week trips.
