Motorhome insurance problem Zenith marque

Hi All

I thought I would share my experience with Zenith Marque who for 2 years covered my motorhome insurance for theft and contents.

The insurer in the main was polite and efficient and paid very promptly for the vehicle theft. I was insured for current market value which worked out very well.

The contents insurance was the issue so beware !

Their policy states "we will cover contents solely used for caravanning and camping".

They declined to pay for several hundred pounds of equipment i.e. Duvets,cooking pans and utensils as well as cutlery and crockery as they said it was not solely for caravanning and camping.

My claim was that all of the equipment was solely used and purchased for this purpose and not for the home which they claimed it could be used for.

I took this to the ombudsman who found in my favour and although they did initially challenged the verdict within 2 weeks they decided to accept the decision and settled the remainder of the claim.

Fantastic result which I hope will be shared with anyone who may have or could have the same problem.
