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 migh...
