The online systems aren't set up to deal with campervans. I'm afraid you need to ring round specialist insurers to try and get your quotes. Yes, it's ball-ache, but unfortunately necessary.
Take a look here...

Best Insurer for a Camper
Apologies if this is in the wrong section....Wifie and I are in the process of buying a T6 Highline camper....so whom does y'all recommend for insurance? I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest, but rather the one with whom any claims have been least painful... Cheers Graeme

I'll have a butch ;-) ta
Yeh, lots of related discussion about the Transitporter.
The T7 is the Multivan family, very much made by VW in the old factory at Hanover.
The new Transporter is indeed transit based, but is not designated as a T7 by the manufacturer.
A niggling point, but a very important one when phoning around for insurance quotes as it won't end well if you inadvertently tell them you have a different type of vehicle and later end up having to make a claim...

Just had a chat / "Spat" with Just Kampers - seems they've no clue!
@Bully0046 - Maybe I'm being thicker than usual but can you expand on that please.
Been with comfort since we got the van. Premium around the same for last 3 years (around 400 in Birmingham postcode with no accidents or points) and when we had someone hit the van (no fault) they were great. Just make sure you declare all mods, which they seem ok with (except bizarrely, ceramic coating!). I asked if they would insure our new van when built and listed a bunch of things inc air suspension etc and they were fine with it all as long as declared.

What I find more frustrating is that LV offer this type of insurance, but I can't add the van to my existing LV Multi-car policy!
Premium differences reflect a myriad of criteria, each of which are unique to an individual insurer at any given moment in time.
You may not like it, but it is entirely logical.
Comfort were double for me a couple of years ago as well compared to AF
I think we'll agree to disagree. Over the years I've encountered evidence that an element of the premium is not based upon risk, but upon a customers financial profile and this their perceived willingness and ability to pay a higher sum.
There is some logic involved, particularly with brokers buying policies on the open market, but the logic extends beyond the obvious simple risk and commercial profiles into a financial profile for each individual customer they'd rather we didn't know about.
Correct - more so than you even suspect - but it doesn't defy logic; it simply defies simplistic explanation due to the complexity of the algorithms being applied; the vast amount of public domain and commercial/trading data (be that live, near-live or historic) that's being analysed and acted upon; and the different objectives and strategies being employed by each insurer.
I've never known anything positive come of an insurance thread on a forum, you may as well delete them as soon as they are created.
I'm not so sure..... my partner renewed our van insurance today and it was about £40 cheaper than last year with the same terms and conditions.
