As to costs How long is a piece of string

You dont say what it is, what its worth ETC

If you want an informative answer provide some information to base it on.

OK, say a 33 foot early 70's bedford converted bus at approx. $40K. Can anyone relate insurance information on their converted bus jobs?

Given that it is a one-off type conversion, versus an ‘off-the-shelf’ vehicle like a Winnebago, you will most likely need a specialist type insurer to cover the risk. Usually this type of insurance risk is difficult for the main-stream insurers as it is too difficult for them to assess. That isn’t to say you shouldn’t approach them to see what the view is.

Our experience with ‘The Landy’ was to place our requirement with a broker who then sourced insurance for us. We were required to obtain a valuation from a certified motor vehicle insurer (we did it through Pickles) to confirm a valuation to the insurer.

We actually detailed everything that had been done to the vehicle, and they assessed it on that basis. We even quoted a number that we would be happy to accept, which was reasonable, and after Pickles endorsed the valuation the insurer accepted it. We made it clear to Pickles that we didn’t want a valuation based on what it would be worth as a resale, and it is important to make sure this is understood when obtaining this sort of valuation.

We used TCIS, which is a four-wheel drive specialist broker; however you will probably find that there are specialists in the field of the type of vehicle you are looking at insuring.

Good luck

Have you spoken to or obtained quotes from any Insurance Companies yet ? (It would help to know).

as Signman suggest: Check out www.cmca.net.au and look under insurance. I think you will have no problem, but you do have to join the CMCA. That's who I have my f250 and 5th wheel insured with. It turned out to be a lot cheaper than anyone else.
