Just stumbled across these people looking for alternative to QBE with whom I
have been with van and cars for years - but for no seeming reason van
insurance went from $700-odd to $1800 for $60,000 with 5months lay-up. (!!!!!).
They have a specialty division for Jayco vans - I first thought that it might
have been a Jayco sob but awaiting a quote.

I have no experience with the above company but a word of caution about insurers.
For us, the priority when getting insurance, is how the provider performs when a claim is made. It's great to have cheaper insurance, but you don't want to end up fighting for months because the insurance provider unfairly denies your claim or drags the process out.
If you have a look on productreview.com.au you can see how insurers rate. It's better to have a read of some of the individual reviews so you can see where customers have actually made a claim (too many are by people who are happy with the price but haven't had to make a claim). The reviews regarding the highest-advertising (on TV) insurer make for interesting reading......

A good point Rodsvan. What I like to check are the statistics on the number of claims actually paid vs denied ...as long as there are at least a hundred or more reviews.
The numbers for caravan insurance are a bit low for confidence in accuracy, but for example with car insurance:
NRMA Claims approved 234 Claims denied 130
Percentage denied 36%
Australian Seniors Claims approved 136 Claims denied 7
Percentage denied 5%
The claim resolution time also shows huge differences.

Had our 18 month old van insured with NRMA for the past few years including previous vans. Just put it up $350 from last year to $1700 for $80,000.
