Well done ,what van have you got.

Normally you have securing points around your van which you use cargo straps or you have a metal cage

I have mine strapped to my bulk head. Also build a small frame around the bottom out of 3x3 fence posts..

Mine has a metal frame round it bolted to the van, cost a fortune but I know it ain't ever moving.

Are you all using 800 Berlingos or is 600 ok?

Cheers,

[bluemonkey]

you have to remember if it is bolted down then it is a mod, if straped in it is cargo

So you'd need to tell your insurers that you've done this? Better safe than sorry and it's not as if you've installed a nitros tank or anything so they shouldn't bump your premium.

Told my first insuranse company and they refused to insure me so I whent with Alexander Swan and It was about £420 and that covers equipment inside too.

I tried Alexander Swan in July. I told them i had wfp. 1st question "who installed your system?". I did it myself. "Very sorry we only cover systems that have been professionally installed". That was pretty much end of conversation. I do note that they have a tie-in with Ionics with regard to providing vans if yours is off road etc and therefore reckon this now shapes their reasoning.

 

[Knoxy]

Had my system fitted by Pure Freedom.

 

[garyboy]

So if its just straped its cargo and dont need to tell insurance is this right
