Insurance for MH newbies

Hi Everyone,

We're very excited to be collecting our 'new to us' MH in two weeks. One of the main tasks for us to do before then is to arrange for some MH insurance. Our plans are to spend a year travelling round Europe from July 22. We're both late 40's with no claims bonus for MH's. 

Can anyone recommend an insurance company which are helpful to deal with and don't cost over £1000? We have heard/read good things about CMC insurance but the cost is prohibitively expensive. Is it reasonable to expect a cost of £700 plus for a MH valued at 46K driven through Europe with expected mileage in the region of 15K?

Thanks for listening and hope to meet some of you when we book our first camping trip next month.

Cheers

Simon

This seems to be an informative post if you’ve not already seen it - covers plenty of issues. However, seems  you’re already connected to the most relevant brokers, Comfort & Adrian Flux.

Cheers guys for all those helpful pointers.

Since we're not heading off immediately on the 'big trip', we have found some competitive insurance (from Adrian Flux) for the UK only, and before we have sold the house. This should give us time to suss out all the legalities/ gotcha's of obtaining 'van life' cover.

Have a great day

Simon
