Read → directoryHeating & climate vendors
Verified heating & climate vendors for European van life — each entry links to the vendor; status reflects when we last checked the source. Curated from our vendor registry, pending editorial review. Safety — several of these brands sell COMBUSTION appliances (diesel or gas). The danger is not the heater working, it is the heater failing: a cracked heat exchanger or a blocked exhaust can push carbon monoxide into the living space, and CO is colourless and odourless. Have it fitted by someone competent, ventilate, and fit a CO alarm certified to EN 50291-2 (leisure vehicles). See our diesel heater comparison.
Read → directoryMotorhome insurance & assistance — North America
US and Canadian RV, motorhome and campervan insurance and roadside assistance — a different market to the European motorhome insurance directory covered elsewhere on this hub, with different insurers, different regulation and different cross-border rules. This directory keeps three distinct roles apart: a direct INSURER (underwrites the policy itself), an insurance AGENCY (places policies with one of several underwriters rather than underwriting them), and a ROADSIDE-ASSISTANCE MEMBERSHIP (towing and callout cover — not insurance at all). Treating these as interchangeable is a common and costly mistake. Curated from our vendor registry; status reflects when we last checked each source, and provisional entries are marked as such rather than presented as verified. Nothing below states coverage terms, prices or exclusions as fact — confirm current terms, self-build/conversion declarations, full-time-occupancy cover, agreed-value settlement and US/Canada/Mexico validity directly with each provider before buying.

Read → directoryMaintenance & repair bodies and accreditation schemes
The trade bodies, accreditation schemes and inspection networks that sit behind van and motorhome maintenance — chassis servicing is handled by the ordinary vehicle-dealer network, so this directory focuses on the organisations specific to the habitation (living-area) side and to vehicle roadworthiness testing. UK-specific entries are marked as such; each entry links to the organisation, and status reflects when we last checked the source.
