Motorhomers travel insurance

Attempting to cut back on our 'out goings' we decided that £15 PER MONTH is too much to pay for a bank account with 'free' travel insurance Hence, we now require "travel insurance" I'm 58 & hubby 60 & we have a motorhome which we use for holidays. We travel via the ferry to Calais or Dunkirk but NEVER travel via aircraft. Nor do we ski, bungy jump, etc. We drive the motorhome to a camp site where we sit in the sun, occasionally having a swim in the pool or cycle around the countryside.
We could of course go without travel insurance, but I'm not willing to take the risk as something would be bound to go wrong!
Any ideas where we can obtain reasonable travel insurance for two quite boring, but very contented middle aged people?
T.I.A. :cool:

    What risks are you thinking of?

    Your possessions could be covered under you home insurance. Some medical cover under EHIC.

    Cancellation - cost of non-refundable ferries, accommodation?

    Post office, for example, do a basic annual European policy for a couple for £64. No money or personal possessions cover but bigger risks such as medical/hospital are covered. Cancellation, missed departure etc for up to £500.

    There are plenty of providers, outside current accounts, that will do similar and even cheaper. Has to be worth £5 a month for peace of mind.
