Just working through insurance quotes at the moment, renewal with Just Kampers is out due to £950+ quote. Leader in the quotes so far is Howdens at £555, but require a S5 tracker installed.

Surely worth having an S5 tracker fitted, to save £100's a year in insurance costs, and peace of mind. Insurance companies will welcome you with open Bank accounts...

Yes the tracker makes sense, current JK policy sent me a toy tracker to fit in the van, no idea whether it still works. Getting a decent S5 seems to be around £400 inc. fitting, then a £14 per month subscription forever.

I'm currently paying £17 a month with Global Telemetrics, but Chris @Dav-Tec is the way to go with his MetaTrak. Just waiting for mine to pack up, but it seems quite happy!

I've got a MetaTrak (fitted by @Dav-Tec) and highly recommend.

Bit of a trek to Chesterfield, looking at ones where they come to us.

Folk travel hours for a service Chris provides, he's worth the hassle knowing the job is done right.

Decided today to not go with the cheapest insurance quote, went with Caravan Guard instead, still £330 cheaper than last years insurer's renewal quote. Reason I chose them is that last year the policy documentation JustKampers sent me identified my van as a VW T6 campervan. No record of the specifics of the campervan build. Likewise Howdens and other companies I have been getting quotes from just identified a VW T6, or T6 campervan. Caravan Guard had a form which allowed me to specify that the vehicle in question is a VW-based Leisuredrive Vivante, and I feel a lot more comfortable with them being completely aware of exactly what they are insuring.
No mention on the form about demanding a tracker fitment, just a yes/no question as to whether the van has one.

Howdens (A plan ) wanted over a grand for my Sportline. Brentacre wouldn’t insure because they only do seriously modified vans.
I went with LV who wanted £480 including European cover and agreed value of £40k.
No need to say I bit there hand off!

Having realised my insurance is up in a month, and seeing the price they gave you, I have just tried LV, they have priced me at £633, considering I paid £890 to Adrian Flux last year, it seems a good first quote to receive!
