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.
