Yeah, that's what I'm doing. To start of I was probably gonna put a little metal frame on and put some plywood on the sides. Could you argue that's just something your transporting?

I’m sure people will say otherwise, but if you’re not building outside of the existing dimensions, then I’d crack on.

I don’t know of anyone who’s informed their insurers.

Gardeners use cage sides for grass cuttings/leaves, bet they don’t tell their insurers.

Any tipper is classed as modified.

 

It’s your choice whether you tell your insurance company or not.

And then upto the insurance company how quickly they distance themselves from you in the event of any accidents or incidentsm

It already is a tipper, or am I misunderstanding your post?

[Mark Bolam]

ANY tipper is classed as modified, even factory built ones, and you are meant to tell your insurance company this.

 

So you can give them more money.

yes, sadly it does

i just went all through this with my defender tipper

 

went with NFU Mutual in the end, were about £100 cheaper but good service and they look after you 

 

the amount of insurance people i spoke to that had no idea what a tipper was, frightening 😅

When I got my 130 years ago now, NFU would not even give me a quote. I the end went with Adrian Flux just sent picture of it.

Perhaps, but no LR came out of the factory with ‘tipper’ on the log book.

Plus they handle like a pissed up rhino with any chip on (but that’s a different argument)

My Transit doesn’t, and it’s been a tipper since it was born.
