Full timing between house moves but what about car insurance? (2 Viewers)

[CRD]

Hi

We want to locate area from Devon to the New Forest to be nearer to our families, and will be putting our house up for sale this week.

Ideally we want to live in our van, once we’ve completed the sale, with occasional AirBnb’s, whilst we house hunt and buy a place with nothing to sell.

All looks fine, however has anyone had experience of insuring their car whilst being of no fixed abode? We can use our kids flat for an accommodation address, but the car will always be with us in our MH and not at the flat.

We have insured our MH with Comfort for at least three years, so they should be able to amend our policy to full time van life, though we know it’ll be expensive.

Your thoughts and solutions are very welcome.

Thanks

Temporary situation? Use a relative or friend's address.

Longer term - I am sure I read boat folk have a system for centralised addresses as they have same relocation/living mobile problems.

Use the kids flat as if it was your address.
Means changing both V5s but the inconvenience will be far better than the possible £1500/£2000 for full time insurance.

if you have any warranty on your motorhome dont let the dealers know your fulltime as it will void your warranty

I didn’t realise that. Thanks! We will only be living in the van for a few months, hopefully.

Use a relatives address, will probably only be temp any way.
Good luck finding the home you want.

Not that case with us. We advised our dealer that we would be full-timing in our van and had no issue with the warranty what-so-ever.

They repaired / replaced whatever was required without fuss, quibbling or refusal, in fact they replaced our starter battery outside warranty, free of charge!
