Syncro velle LPG'd I am currently with Glynwood but they are a bit dear. Not keen on Flux after a few run ins with them in the past and CIS wont touch it as its not factory with the LPG. Any suggestions?

Second that, seems to be the fixed price for them. They seem to know a bit about syncro's etc. They even insured mine on the road before it was uk registered.

Had a quote from Just Campers today fully comp my wife and I me with one sp30 3 yrs ago (in the van!!!) 9 yrs no claim 6000 miles pa. £173.66
Agreed valuation will cost £15 extra with photos. Was with Caravan Club but wasnt sure they knew what a Syncro was but I think JC did it reasonable because CC quoted £160 to renew, they gasped when I told them. Sure term direct £383 for same cover when I said will let you know they knocked £50 off if I did a deal today!!!

right what a palave that was finally got insured with footman james,

Glynwood wanted £399!
HIC wanted £330
Just campers undercut HIC at £277 but the reneged on the offer and went up to £309 as some of the details "werent right" when I went back to them ie 1.9 L engine not 2.1 like I said.
Footman James were £255 with legal protection, and 35 days euro breakdown/no home start etc. but what a lot of shopping around!

No, never go back.
If they can't give you their best price when you ask.....F'k em!
I hate all insurance companies, think they're all sh!ts & give crappy service if you every need help.
But then I'm just bitter & twisted!!
