Re: Truck & camper Insurance/choice & purchase

Thanks guys,....have any of you come from a 'normal' motorhome or caravan then? How did you find the premium in comparison to them?? I'll have to check with the wife because ours is actually insured in her name but I think it's just under £300 fully comp.
