Mine's insured as motorhome insurance with Adrian Flux, it actually halved my costs too

That's good John. I am with Flux and think I am over £200 even as an oap!

That's the trouble with just letting it run on each year I think.

A-Plan for mine.

Got it cheaper than the Adrian Flux quote with less jumping through hoops and let me use my NCB from another policy I had. Cost a bit more than most of your quotes, but I asked for a lot of miles for the year. Also no need to submit a million receipts to get accepted value or whatever they call it. I just send pics of it when it's finished (some day). smile

You are on SBMCC. You could have got a discount with Flux. Personally i would never even consider using them as the internet is full of horror stories. They seem great giving a cheap quote but the problems start when making a claim. I put a link up on the SBMCC with a list of horror stories asking the Flux Rep who is on the site to explain. Not a peep out of him. I ended up using AIB Insurance who so far have been great. Camper, car and work van. Wife is a named driver and had a dunt in the car. Next years premium went up by a massive £20 big_smile My Convoy is just under 300 quid with breakdown what covers 90 days in Euroland also.

Small world.

Yeah no interest in using AF, especially after DYD clued me into A-Plan. They were just better and less hassle. Seems to be a lot of issues with Adrian Flux, not to mention the agreed value clause. A-Plan just asked me how much it was worth and said if I added anything else to the van to send them an email. Agreed value was just done without hassle. Also, I did get a 10% discount with A-Plan for being a member of SBMCC.

Cant remember but I think I have the same as you for Euro cover, 90 days. I don't see me using it this year. Maybe next year.

We are not going this year also. Planned a three week Trip for Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Poland and a few other countries. in 2023. That is unless Putin the prat does not blow them up as well.

Something useful. I don't think anyone had posted anything that useful in a while. I never put two and two together. hmm And I didn't even link you to it, not that i even realised your were on there at that time.

I actually went back and looked you up and realised I had posted on a handful of threads that you also posted on and then it clicked. I think at that time I was still running my Transit and hadn't discovered this place yet. Did you ever post the swivel seats blog over there?

I was planning to hit Belgium for a beer run, but I think i will pass for now. Until this whole Ukraine thing is sorted, Europe has become somewhat unstable. I also hope he doesn't blow up Europe (and us). But its still a possibility given how deranged he is.

Casper · 2022-03-05 01:57:02

No i never put that blog up and i dont think i put the poor mans thermal blinds one up either Here
I had a bit beef with a few of them who have there heads stuck firmly up there own arses, or each others. He was telling me we need to have a HAB Test done on self builds what is total crap. Recommended only and only by law if building campers and installing gas/electric for a living. Grey area about resale of your old van but the clique know best so my fee is about to run out this month then im done. On my last membership i did wing the £50 raffle so i was up in cash and educated in a few other things tongue

Its not the Mad Vad Putin that is putting us off this year its more this Covis shizz is still hanging around and i cant be doing with the masks any longer. They are binned on the 21st here in Scotland thank god. Now i can really annoy the folk who are still dancing round you in supermarkets big_smile Luxemburg beer is cheaper BTW

AF have the most aggressive agents I've come across. I did buy a policy once, but remember feeling somewhat stitched up afterwards. Currently with Lifesure, and have timmed that down to £185, with a possible (doubtful) £40 cashback from Go Compare. That includes 270 days in EU also.

Might be cheaper, probably not as tasty. I'm kinda set in my ways, I like abbey beers, dubbels and trippels ideally, at least 9% if possible, although i do drink a lot of Leffe and Duvel over here.

Was after about 12 bottles of the Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel which has a pretty divine taste. Haven't had any for about 3 years and its nigh on impossible to get hold of over here. Don't mind paying for the bottles as I love the taste of it.

I'm not bothered about Covid, it will never fully go away. Quadruple jabbed (Astra, Pfizer and Moderna) and have a vaccine passport. But this year i want to do some minor trekking over here. Trans-Pennine, Coast to Coast and maybe the Pennine Way. Although I have mulled over walking to Cleethorpes and then down the coast path to Harwich. Next summer I will be heading abroad for sure.

I've got van insured with saga I think its on 10,000 miles PA [Had Van 5 0r 6 years and barely done 20,000 mls total with it] which i'll never use for £180 with 90 days euro this happened obviously because of my age now and being insured as a motorhome which it is registered as and my policy at time would only insure it as a modified van but it had more mods than they wanted to cover so anyway I took no claims and a refund else where and Saga gave me 15 years intro on my diesel golf also at the time I think life is harder now as rep said un able to apply discounts this year when I called ... not the cheapest but I don't believe in fully comp and cheapen cover by more than £100 voluntary excess to bring it to a total of £200 ... Motorcycles I never offer any voluntary excess and always look for a total of £100 ecess with 90 days EU and same cover in EU as in UK as One year I ended up in southern ireland with minimum cover for there [It's one thing to be told this but not hiden in small print ... So ask] when I found out thought Never again and changed ............. all vehicles I have are looked at same way
