Really enjoyed reading this thread every one seems really friendly and animal lovers my old dog of 15 loves to sleep between the front seats nice and warm and one of my horses is 37 older than the box!!
Insurance wise I use footman james £90 a year fully comp with breakdown limit mileage 1500. It is available to members of vehicle clubs I started with them when I joined the fordtransit owners club transit register now disbanded but still use my membership number on renewal.
Perhaps if membership numbers could be issued for the transit forum more people could use there insurance.
Good luck with your camper.
