    Hi there,
    I'm looking to buy a cheap converted van on donedeal or the like. Before I do any purchasing I want to find out whether I am able to be insured.
    I'm 19 years old with a full licence. I've had this licence for a year. I have been a named driver on my parents cars for 2 years with no claims. I've never had my own personal insurance.
    My plan is to buy this van and drive to Morocco over a month trip. I understand the difficulty of this and I'm ready to cut Morocco out of the trip and just do France, Spain and Portugal if necessary.
    I've phoned a few insurance companies with no luck(but I'm not sure if I was asking the right questions). I am willing to pay a very high premium but it's whether I can be insured at all that I am worried about.
    My questions are:
    1-Do I have to get campervan insurance and not regular van insurance on a converted van?
    2-What companies might insure a 19 year old on a campervan?
    3-If there are any companies that would insure me, would they insure me in the Eu?
    4-Would any companies insure me to drive internationally (Morocco)?
    5-Would it help if my parents got insured and I was a named driver?
    6-Also I have heard of motor caravan clubs and things like that. Would membership be able to help me in any way?
    Thanks for reading:)
