Hello, new member here

Hi all,

I just purchased a nice 1969 Dormobile.
Will post a piccie soon, I'm currently in the process of getting it insured and MOTed.

Some of you probable know the one I bought. It is the one from Michel in France. (also on the series2club forum and Dormobile forum).

Quite chuffed with it.

Does anyone can advice a good insurer? I am waiting for quotes from Adrian Flux, Herritage, NFU and RH insurance.
Any more worth calling?


Cheers,

Michiel

when my insurances were due i got
quotes from 5 different companies
and peter james was by far the most
competative and the person knew
what they were talking about,includes
salvage rights.

Hi Michiel, and welcome

Don't forget Peter James (http://www.peterjamesinsurance.co.uk) - as I mentioned in the PM, Patrick got a good deal from them even though both his SWB & Carawagon are parked on the drive.

Oh, and don't forget to post pictures of your new acquisition

Cheers,
Robin.

EDIT: Phillip just beat me to it

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately Peter James can't insure me because I am currently unemployed.

What has that got to do with having an insurance.... As long as you are able to pay the premium I would guess.

Why is nothing ever simple in life?

Hello and welcome!
As mentioned above I have Peter James insuring me, I know that's not much help to you, but you may find this list of all the companies I tried last year helpful:

Like Les said, worth mentioning that you're a series 2 club member too (after they have given you the first price so you know they have actually knocked something off for it)

Cheers,
Patrick

Welcome to the "other" forum I saw the ad on the S2C website, looks like a lovely vehicle.

The sound is just amazing... 6 cylinder....

Need to convert to electronic points though. Should be bit more economic then.

Need to learn how everything works now in the Dormi.

Insurancewise, my quotes / experience has been:

RH under £100 but needs to be parked on the drive at night. No problem with modifications like tdi. Unlimited mileage and breakdown

Heritage - under £100 but less mileage and no commuting (I occasionally drive to the station in it

Can't remember the name so will check and edit - complete tossers, didn't understand what a Dormobile is. Others have had great experiences so it obviously depends on who is on the other end of the phone. Dormobile CLub reckons on getting a discount but they haven't heard of it on the end of the phone. S2C gets 15% but they still dont know what a dormobile is

RH insurance are ace. unlimited milage, 200 excess, 75 glass etc. 90 days european breakdown cover. I was quoted £120.74. Took it as it was already cheaper then my old series 2a 109 with Footman James, who wouldn't insure my Dormobile unless it is parked up in a garage. I have a garage, but it don't fit in there.
Herritage didn't want to insure me because I'm currently unemployed.

But I got it sorted now. Wednesday MOT day and hopefully I get the insurance paperwork. Then of to the post office for the V62 form and a tax disk.
