Hi all, I’m the newbie. I don’t own an RV but my friend does and needs my help. He has been in the US for a year, he bought a 2007 Winnebago Vectra in Florida and has been touring the states in it. Now he’s coming home, currently he and the RV are on a ship bound for Antwerp.
The problem is motor insurance, we can’t find anyone to insure it when he lands so that he can drive to Hook of Holland and then get a ferry to UK.
He’s tried his US insurers they don’t want to know outside mainland America, I’ve tried the usual sites like Compare the Market, Safeguard and NFU, I’ve tried many brokers including Lloyds, the Motor Insurers Bureau and a Belgian Insurance broker. The problems are that the RV is registered in Florida and because he’s been out of UK for 12 months he’s not a UK resident (apparently) so no one wants to know.
I’ve had a look at some previous posts but haven’t seen anything that covers this problem, so does anyone have any suggestions where else I might try to get insurance for him?
