Been with Caravan guard for a number of years
last two years saw an increase in premium of circa £50 per year plus a £35 increase for a speeding offence (59 Mph on M1 smart Motorway)
so as i have all my cars with LV= I asked for a quote a cool £150 less than caravan guard.
Now I am going to read all the small print for sure But if anyone has any experiance with LV= Motorhome policies i would be gratfull for any heads up or things that could have repocussions if i get it wrong

Did the same as you with our MH. Their service has been fine on all our vehicles. Green cards requested and sent immediately by them at no charge. BTW, they were also shed loads cheaper than CAMC. Also, when I looked at the CAMC quote for the MH it turned out LV were the underwriters of their policy.
Safe and happy travels 👍

Have currently got 5 cars with them and been more than happy with LV=
It was the lack of info they require to quote a motor home, it concerned me that they want no value,make or trim info
after speaking with them they say that's quite correct, to simply the auto quote system all they want to know is that it is a "Factory" build from new they are aware of the average values and when required they will look at market values and negotiate all claims to settle or repair. based on the actual MoHo you have damaged
Thinking about it that''s what all insurers do in reality regardless of what value you told them it was, only LV= seem a little more open about it
Think i will give them a go (y)

I've been with them 2 years, and had similar concerns, especially after having a refillable gas system, solar added etc.

I have the car & van & the mh is dependent on having a dash cam.

When I asked for a quote 3 or 4 years ago they had no cover for anything in the van except the radio/ICE. This is at odds with their caravan policies. I guess you would need to have separate cover through your house insurance. Theirs did not cover my van at that time either.

That is still correct. £1k contents insurance. We have most elements named on our home contents insurance.

We used LV no problems, although no claims 🙂. The contents and personal possession limits are low, but as stated elsewhere alot of that is covered by home insurance, can be increased if you want but the costs go up, if you do that and add on breakdown etc... then the costs does start to approach the competition, although Safeguard are out on their own at the moment quoted us just under 1300.00 pounds this year 😱

Couple of things we noted:
1. When getting a quote you have to select Motorcaravan, in our case a Fiat Motorcaravan 2.3 150bhp, not just the base vehicle e.g. Fiat Ducato .....
2. Beware of LVBrokers or Highway insurance, it is LV motorhome insurance sold by brokers the websites are incredibly similar but the product is different e.g. limit of 60k vehicle value, you have to use LV.COM
3. The customer service staff knew their product, answered all questions clearly.

We found it unnerving that they are not interested in the motorhome make, model or an estimated value but eventually got over it 😁
