Cannot insure my caravan

As for insurance, you will be insuring a touring caravan so the CC cover, of any similar, should be appropriate. 

This is incorrect  I have told the insurance company of my intentions and they have replied that they will not insure me for any work-related activities.

Write your comments here... I would ring round the brokers who provide caravan insurance. You are looking at a specialist field which will not be available on the internet but the brokers should be able to arrange on a one off basis.

In that case I stand corrected but will the van actually be used in connection with your work or will it simply be your accommodation? There is a difference.

agreed, i would ask Malcolm what he does as, in effect, he is working (and living/touring among a small number of sites) from his caravan....

Ask the insurance company to define work related.  think you will find as being used as an office or similar not as you would use it.a place to commute from.

Can you please point me towards Malcolm

Sorry, they will only insure for touring purposes. So if I am not touring, which I am not if I am using it as a temporary home, then that is outside of their acceptancy policy.

You will easily find Malcolm in General Chat on the "what have you done today" thread.

Have you tried static caravan insurance as they are clearly kept in one place. Not sure the fact you are using it as a residence whilst working would be particulary relavent. An alternative might be to use an insurance broker.

Try our local broker, Frank Pickles Insurance - a small firm, run by real people with an interest in finding you just what you want from a policy.

If you are still keeping on your 'main home' then isn't there some poetic license, in saying that you are just 'touring' but having an extended stay on the same site????

Peter, have a chat with malcolm, he lives full time in his van and works!  My brother lives full time in his motorhome (on the continent) and has never had a problem with insurance.  Don'ty know whether its still the case but he used to insure throught the other club!

 You could try Adrian Flux they are good and insure all sorts of vehicles and uses

you could do as Malcolm does, ie 'tour' from just one site to another, stay 28 days, then 'tour' back again.....

 he usually 'tours' from Worthing to Littlehampton then back again....also throws in a little Brighton for variety
