I use these...Mine is £148 yearly..Like your ours is on a seasonal pitch but for 12 months of the year we never move it...She is quite old though a 2000 6 berth...But they may be able to help you ;-))

Have you tried SimpleCaravanInsurance on http://tidd.ly/b1c50218
it has straight forward pricing for about £80

thanks everyone for their help, still can't beat £315! must be because it's a Hobby and a threat from gypsys

A friend of ours had the same problem with his Hobby van and I think he insured his through the Co-op. The site we have our tourer on won't allow Hobby vans on the site because they have the door on the opposite side to the other vans so it messes up arrangements with awnings and parking etc.

We have been on a few sites that won't allow Hobbys...Shame really as they are amazing vans..My Hubbys Mom & Dad had one a few years ago...Ended up a really sad story though that I dont really want to go into on here as it would be worrying for the OP but its no wonder sites refuse them ...:(

I assume you have just bought it an now checked out insurance? Hobby's are always more expensive and restricted where they are accepted for reasons already mentioned.

If you haven't already try a more specialist forum like ukcampsite or caravantalk for further ideas and recommendations

We just tried Simple, they were £65 more than my renewal with Cruckley (which was £202) who still seem to be the cheapest for me.

Caravan Club insurance was an eye watering £683!!
