Motorhome & campervan insurance in France

A motorhome is a vehicle in French law: compulsory third-party liability, standard car-style formulas on top. The specifics are the contents (bedding, bikes, gear — separate ceilings and burglary conditions), declared fittings (solar panels, awnings), and specialist breakdown assistance able to tow a 3.5-tonne home.

Converted vans raise a registration question: a professional conversion can be re-registered as VASP (motor caravan), which clarifies insurance; a self-build kept on a van registration must be honestly declared, or the fittings — even the whole claim — may be refused. Expect €25-90/month depending on value and use.

Frequently asked questions

Can I insure a self-converted van in France?

Yes, with specialist insurers, provided you describe the conversion honestly (photos, invoices). Re-registering as VASP after certification simplifies insurance, roadworthiness tests and resale — worth the paperwork for a permanent conversion.
