Insurance for older caravans

[Deleted]

Hi all barb here new member. Bought a 1979 franklin pop top van just for a few months. Tried a few insurance people to get some cover on it, but no luck, they all say it's too old. I know it's not worth much but want to be covered in case of an accident. Any members have suggestions? I'll post a picture soon as well, it's registered as a 1979 Ramble caravan but the owner said it was a franklin snipe. Cheers

Hi Barb,
That van is not a Franklin Snipe!
It's a 1979 Rambler made in Melbourne.Sold as a Spaceline in SA and WA.
Might make a difference getting insurance to have the right model!

Looks like it might be a Jayco holiday rambler?

Thanks for the reply, insurance people said they won't insure over 30 years of age.

Yes Barb,
They were also sold by a Melbourne Jayco dealer under the "Holiday Rambler " badge.
Forgot about that one!It is not a Jayco though.
There are plenty of insurers that could help you,maybe someone else will come on and help you.
2 of my old vans are insured by Shannons.
Cheers

thanks glad to know it's not a Jayco, it has a Victorian rego so Rambler it is.

Is there a list of companies who insure older van's, once I have completed my repairs etc I too will be doing the "phone a friend" dance!
