I am looking for some help and advice regarding the valuation of my campervan. I was recently involved in an accident when an Iceland delivery van drove into the side of mine. The insurance company have valued it at a thousand pounds and this will be less 180 for salvage if I want to keep it. I have had the van six years or so and I have spent a lot of time and money on it. Much of the money has been for the mechanical side to include fitting a Transit "banana" diesel engine. replacement steering box, axle. drive shaft, brake master cylinder and work to the chassis and electrics and replacing the headlights Having got all this in shape I had started on the cosmetic side of things preparing and painting the panels. I still have a way to go but it was a fully functional road worthy vehicle that I have taken my children away in many times. I do not dispute that currently it does not look its best and inside I have still to refit parts but I feel 1000 pounds is nothing like what its value is. I would very much appreciate your views. It is a 1971 model and I have yet to see another conversion the same as mine.
Thank you for your help Chris
