I have a MB 1017a based camper and the NFU weren't interested .
I'm not sure they want new business of this nature.

Good to know Neil, looks like they have got more "corporate" as opposed to the helpful company I used to deal with. Its a shame as they used to give me a Green card that covered all countries in Europe.
You could also try there guys:

They do specialist insurance for kit cars and anything out of the ordinary.
Neil, who did you end up using for insurance ?

Thanks guys for the feedback.
Having done some more research I found this website Motorhome Insurance Companies in UK - Insure your motorhome with some good links on it. Looks like I will be spending the next couple of days on the phone...

Hi Steff
If you get any results that then can you let's us know as its always good to know.
Its not easy. some of the quotes we got had restrictions on them such as 90 days at a time in Europe , no green card for Morocco etc.
Make sure it meets your needs
What vehicle are you buying

Soooo, called 13 insurance companies/brokers today and got 2 quotes and waiting for 2 more to come in tomorrow. Have 3 more brokers on my list to call but it got too late and will do it tomorrow.
Feedback so far is that many do not like engines over 5000cc, private imports or a vehicle that cannot be found on their "database".
Our truck is a Iveco 100E21W and the best quote so far is ~£5 a day :-( that is with European cover, but no Morocco and includes break down cover in Europe.
As soon as I get more I will report back.
@Neil H, thanks for your pm, I could not reply due to "minimum of 5 posts rule" on here. I tried your insurer today but did not get a quote due to the right person not there. Will try again tomorrow.

Hi Steff
good luck, they aren't the easiest of vehicles to insure in the UK .
You may get some other leads on the other link I gave you. Quite a few on there have similar vehicles.
Are you buying your Truck via Arno , If so he is a great guy.

Neil, yes Arno was the initial contact and a great help. We bought the truck already, just need to go and pick it up. What a small world. How do you know him?
Did you do all the UK registration yourself? I was thinking of using a company in Donnington to deal with paperwork, DVLA, MOT and Vosa... I got the CoC and other stuff and apart from the headlight conversion everything is done.
