My van a Chevy Express 3500 EB has arrived at Sportsmobile Texas. Do I need to insure the vehicle through my regular insurer now as a van and then change it to a RV insurer when it's completed?

That is what I did.

Can't insure it as an RV until after the conversion.

Do you need to insure previous to taking delivery?

Thanks Mike. My primary is USAA and they collaborate with Progressive. The rates I've seen so far seem pretty good.

If you haven't taken delivery and registered the van to yourself it is still property of SMB. When you take delivery then you insure it. I know some have purchased the van before conversion for sales tax reasons but if it is not yours yet why insure it.

Good point Paul on the ownership status. In our case we've taken ownership of the vehicle.
