Hi All, My name is Ken. Ive just joined your club. I am new to motorhome ownership and I am looking for advice.
I am having a Mercedes van converted and will take delivery soon.The base van is currently registered and insured by my business. I have been looking to insure the van in my own name and have used the company shown on this website. One of the questions asks If DVLA has been notified that the vehicle is now a motorhome? Is this something I should have done? Are there any other legal requirments I should be aware of.
Thanks for your help in advance, Im sure I will be asking for a lot more in the near future

Welcome to the forum Kenford. Insurers are a slippery bunch and you do not find out how slippery until you try to claim something from them.
They particularly enjoy 'insuring' or at least taking your money year after year when they have a good idea that they can quote something you have stated in your proposal that is incorrect.
My advice is answer all of their questions on the proposal with honesty, otherwise you may only end up with the basic legal 3rd party cover. It may not cost much more but they have access to various sources to find out if you told the truth.
