I'm a newbie
That looks an excellent price, but I'm sorry IMHO at bit too good! Did no-claims record have anything to do with it?
Hope you never have to test it out.
That’s what I thought so I went through each of the benefits / conditions and small print in great detail with the advisor. All checked out (the call was recorded for training purposes of course) so I went for it. Regarding NCB I have none on a MH but I’ve never had a claim of any sort in 45 years driving which may have helped - but tomorrow is another day ??.

many many years! since I was a kid
My sister works in insurance for one of the big household name brands. Apparently there have been a lot of people conned by buying insurance from fake companies advertising on the internet with too good to be true prices

We're going through a similar thing, have reservations of storing brand new a class van on a storage site. Assuming a cassoa Gold site would any of you have reservations on this as well ?

Well, I personally would never buy a brand new vehicle of any sort, but I would be quite happy to store it at the Gold standard CaSSOA site I use. But I appreciate that there could be "differences" in Gold standard.

Well if my CAMC broker organised insurance for a 1 yr ncb with a motorhome ( they wouldn't accept 3 other car policies I have with full ncb) ? on a 25 grand burstner at over £600 quid a year. You are doing DAMN WELL at around £200.... well either that or you've been conned out of £200 ?

I am with Adrian Flux and was paying £310 for my 2018 Burstner 586. Just been told today my renewal is due Jan 20 - unless I fit a tracker my insurance will rocket to over £700. Think I will try Grove & Dean myself. If I fit a tracker my premium will be £333. Any other comments.

Hate to burst your bubble but from various comments I've read on here I think you'll have difficulty at getting cover for a motorhome of that value when it's parked on the road at anything like a reasonable price. You'll need to call all the brokers, endure the sharp intake of breath then be prepared to sit down when they demand your left arm and leg in payment! Seriously, though, you will get someone to quote, just how much it's going to be so suggest you start right away.

Hopefully someone can come up with a contact for you.
I am with Safeguard and park on the road.
OK only a 16 k motorhome but less than 240 pounds a year with European Cover
BUSBY.
