Today I received my renewal quote for my van but stated in the conditions was the carrying of hazardous materials not permitted. I rang and asked if propane was allowed and told no. Does anyone carry bottled propane for their gas heater and still get van insurance.  I am thinking of getting a hot water system and wonder if I should go for ionics hotbox system as it runs on diesel and is not propane.  Is it worth getting a hot water system. Does it clean windows better? Thanks.

Yup, A-Plan do.
I told them, they didn't add to the premium.
They just said they needed to know.

Obviously I'm not bothered what you do Danny but in the event of a claim, you probably won't be covered.
Insurance people are all a holes, anything to get out of paying a claim & they will.

Darren I know what your saying insurance company's try anything to get out of paying if anything happened ill ditch the bottle at scene if poss. Hopefully that won't happen. I may fone and tell erm I carry a bottle about occasionally thru winter. 👍

For me, I rang them & told them.
Didn't cost me a penny bud.
Call em and ask for a quote to carry gas.
If they say there's no loading (that's the terminology they'll use) just add it.
Guaranteed to be safe then bud.

No worries.
A-Plan will, tell your current insurer if they won't and see i they can make an exception.

There's a reason the diesel heaters cost so much.....

Don't forget you also need a gas on board sticker on the van.
You also need to have the gas bottle valve closed when in the vehicle unattended.
By unattended I mean parked up and not working from it.
Plus you need to check the amount of gas you can carry and are there any clauses on how it
should be stored.

[dannymack]

I've got gas sticker, I foned them and they have it written down that I carry a gas bottle, didn't think I told them. No extra charge 👍
