Hey Ladies and Gentlemen if your after insurance for a self build try motor caravanwise in Christchurch Dorset... they are really cheap for self builds ..
They where £300 cheaper than the next best quote, they do it all over the phone, you can pay all in one go or over 12 months if you like , you have to get a form stamped by the local garage to say it has a built in bed,wardrobe,cooker,seating area and water storage, which is easy enough if your self building,
Phone no is 01425 280078
I did use sure term but there quote for this year had gone thro the roof with out claiming for anything, there letter said do nothing we will will automatically renew it for you,take the hasle out.. lol i bet you will at nearly double last years price lol..
Any road you get gas bottle cover. contents cover,windscreen,and other things , just under £300 fully comp for a 1998 iveco 49-12 self build bus
hope this helps some folk and gets you a good deal
bestestest wishes

nice one billybun i'm seriously considering getting rid of my present m/h and doing a selfbuild to accommodate my quad, when you see what you can get for your money in an iveco van , newer ,less mileage, more reliable, and an internal space for security for the quad, def makes sense.
I just got my Transit Jumbo self build, insured as a camper van full comp was £339 but can only do 5000 miles a year, i may have to put it up to 7500 though..
Here it is

looks a nice job paul, how many does it sleep? i see in other posts that you like to wildcamp, as is my first choice when out, i find it very gratifying when i find the right spot, especially when your having your brekkie in the morning with a view to die for in front of you, much better than herding on a site.
Hi Steveiem the Trojan sleeps two in a double and one on a side bench come bed but i have had 5 of us wild camping. I i put the awning on the side the hey who knows lol.. We wild camp most of the time as the isn't campsites in the places i camp tee hee. Eg mountain tops in Wales and Scotland or woods down byways etc. Where i go sea fishing too not many campsites in the middle of nowhere lol. I like to camp along lonely beaches and look out to sea, i'll fish sometimes too if it's possible. We also camp in the road over night when we visit friends that live miles away.
Love wild camping

Yes to all that. I woke up one morning last week on a pic nik site up the mountain from Treherbert and when I was sat on the step drinking my first coffee of the day, which is my norm, all I could see below me was clouds. fan bloody tastc
meant to say, that another place I wild at is Horseshoe point on the Humber estuary. Brilliant, just the salt marsh and mist in the morning. Did wake up one morning after forgetting to check the tides and was axle deep in sea water. LOL. but thats part and parcel of wilding.
hey paul ,you ever been to point clear in essex. i used to live on the sea wall there, facing brightlingsea across the river , mersea island across the estuary, fantastic sunsets over mersea island . there's a bit at the very end there , just beyond the haven camp , drive over the sea wall ramp , and you are on the hard, as its called, and you are ok to wildcamp on the left side of the hard rd , as its classed as the village green, no matter what anyone says, the council have no say ,as its a private estate there , and there are ancient rights of ways. dont know what the fishing is like there, but there's plenty of boats go out from there. best sunday dinner is at the kings arms in st osyth village, which you drive through to get to point clear, unfortunately ,no sandy beaches there, but you can get the ferry over to brighlingsea, theres an outdoor lido, and some decent fish shops, not the one opposite the ferry tho, thats rubbish, clactons not too far away for sandy beaches, park around martello bay if you can , new parking restrictions along the seafront now to deter m/h's. good travelling and good luck.
see what happens in the second year , come renewal time.
This seems to be a worrying trend with all insurance. I wasn't aware of this until I nearly got bitten. "Tentz", a UKCS member, soon put me wise on this
