What’s the difference between campervans and motorhomes?

One of the biggest differences is that motorhomes are built onto the original vehicle chassis and the back of a motorhome is designed and built by a coach-builder company such as Auto-Sleeper, Swift, or Autotrail.

A campervan, on the other hand, is a van modified for camping. This could range from a bed being added to the back of the van all the way up to a full conversion with everything you would get in a coach-built motorhome added to the van.

Do I need special insurance for a campervan?

Campervans usually need specialist campervan insurance because insurers will want to know if you’re not driving a standard van. This is because taking out van insurance for a campervan would not provide adequate cover as campervans need cover for camping equipment, awnings, cover abroad, mirroring NCB from your first car, etc.
