Unless you have an address in France/Spain you cannot register it there. If the van is on UK plates you have to have UK insurance. Saga & others will insure for all year in Europe but if you told them it was to be left unattended then I doubt you would be covered.
Possibly you could find a French insurer to insure it while stored. I know you can get French insurance for UK caravans stored permanently in France so you could enquire into this. If you post on the abroad forum you may get help as several members do this.
You would still need UK insurance for when you were driving the van & it would be a bit micky mouse because your UK insurer would have to not know you were storing van there.
If you can get an address in France/Spain you could register it there & get it on local plates, problem solved.
Getting a UK reg motorhome onto French plates is long/expensive process. You need certificate of conformity for chassis & a separate one for habitation. You would also have to change the headlights I guess. Dunno if Spain is easier.
