Insurance for California Ocean

[Lost Boy]

For me i went with LV, mainly as Comfort said that it wouldn't be insured for more than 48 hours outside a friend's house unless it was on their drive, so that doesn't work for me. Comfort has a higher allowance for the camping kit inside I admit but LV is more car like insurance, so I can leave it where i want, when i want, frankly when I'm camping I'll be with it most of the time. I suspect its about what you use your van for most, mine's a daily and a camper and not just a camper so LV works best for me.

My renewal with LV has just come up and so I phoned them yesterday to ask if I was covered as a campervan. I was on the phone for half an hour while he went away and checked and he assured me that LV know the California is a campervan so I am fully covered. I’ve renewed but not entirely happy.

Despite being on this forum for more than 10 years I've yet to see any report of anyone having an insurance payout refused or reduced due to the insurers not realising a VW California was a Campervan.

I just spent a bit of time on the phone with LV and they were adamant that they no longer insure Campervans. I explained that it was a stock VW Ocean not a conversion and that others seemed to be able to get quotes recently, but to no avail. Looks like it will be renewed with JustKampers at £536.

I’ve just renewed with LV again. They definitely know that they’re insuring a campervan. Perhaps it’s the channel you go through, or just luck of the draw on who you speak to that is responsible for people’s differing experiences?

That's really strange. I tried online and on phone, so maybe just give it another go and see if I get a different answer.
