Insurance - any ideas welcome
Ok I'm starting to panic a little bit. I'm struggling to get insurance.
On Friday I am part exchanging my car for a pickup truck which will eventually replace the L200 too to save money and reduce the collection of vehicles we have. Problem is, I am struggling to get insurance for it and the camper because I will be using the truck (minus camper) for business travel. I'm an accountant and visit clients on a regular basis.
My current insurer (IAM Surety) aren't even very happy to cover me for the truck on its own (I didn't even ask them about the camper).
Campton have the same problem. If I was just commuting to one office and using the truck for personal use otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem. I asked if they'd insure just the demountable without the truck, and the answer was no - it has to be insured as a 'motorhome unit' with the truck. Therefore they are assuming I'll be taking the camper to clients with me...
Although I just found this article http://www.wiltshire.eu.com/demountable ... l#agencies
As it's 'off the road' undergoing repairs at the moment, I guess I'll not bother for now.

Originally Campton weren't too sure if they'd be able to cover due to my type of business use of a the vehicle. But they said yes

TBH you don't sound the sort of person get's fired from a canon or something,
So they probably misheard your occupation and it came out like 'daredevil' or something
Glad your covered all the same

I didn't realise being an accountant would cause such a problem getting insurance. I might just go for trapeze artist training and see if it makes a difference...

We too had problems with business use, which I found odd as most people with pickups don't tend to use them just to go to church on Sundays. My current profession is a bit odd, but the nearest we have ever managed to get to a description is 'estate manager'. Campton said no to that.

There was a few quires by Campton about how I would use my truck for business but after I answered all their questions they said yes. Incidentally my insurance through Campton with all the computations offered was cheaper than my renewal for the truck alone.
