DIY or Home Converted Camper Vans

We are able to arrange cover for home converted motorhomes and campervans at the same rate as professional conversions and purpose built motorhomes.

In order to qualify for this cover the van must be fully converted to a motorhome or campervan at the time cover is incepted and you must be able to provide us with an “Engineers Report” which can be undertaken by any MOT garage. The engineers report must be received by Caravanwise Limited within 14 days of the vehicle going on cover. This is a very strict requirement and failure to provide the report in time will result in cancellation and time on risk costs being incurred.

A fully converted motorhome or campervan must have all of the following permanently built in:

A built in bed
A wardrobe
Cooking facilities
A seating/dining area
Housing for water storage

The base vehicle must be a UK or European Union manufactured van.

If you can comply with these requirements and your motorhome or campervan is fully converted and you can provide an engineers report within 14 days of cover being incepted then you can obtain an instant on-line quotation by clicking the button at the bottom of the page or telephone 01425 280078 during office hours for an instant quotation.
