Insurance Increase Because My American Sunseeker is Ford based

[shawn&emma]

Just had my insurance renewal come through and they've said due to the make of the vehicle I own its a higher risk, its an American Ford E450.

Now I am fully aware that european transit based motorhomes are being stolen a lot but haven't heard of any American based fords being stolen. I'm going to ask on what facts they have to back this statement up but I'm guessing its just because its a Ford and they will all come under the same category.

Policy increase of around £50, obviously theres possibly other factors in that increase but most likely because its a Ford.

To continue to insure me they need proof of one of the following being used, Receipt,Photo in use etc.

Note from insurance co:
Currently we only approve 3 specific steering wheel locks. These have been independently tested, passed a five minute attack and are accredited by Sold Secure. The cost of these devices typically range from £50 to around £120.

- The Stoplock Pro or Stoplock Pro Elite. (no other versions)
- The Disklok steering lock.
- The Milenco High Security steering wheel lock. (you may need the longer commercial version to fit your motorhome)

Anyone have any feedback and/or personal use of any of the above?

Also anyone know where I might find details of thefts of American based vehicles in the uk?

Thanks

Shawn

I always insured my RVs with Safeguard , not the cheapest but imo the most complete cover.
