YAASSSS! Y’ALL! WE GOT INSURANCE. 😭 Identity crisis over.
We know so many of you struggle with getting insurance for your vehicle, not only in Ontario, but especially in Ontario because we literally have the worst insurance regulations here 💢. We want you to know, WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK 💛.
If you’re here for the story, then use Chapters to navigate. We’ve got some gems in this video and our tips for finding insurance should be applicable almost everywhere in the world.

12:57 Wrap-up (stay for the bloop)
We’re getting so close! We are still aiming to leave mid-May, pending restrictions in Ontario. Health and our physical safety (people in other provinces are getting their cars keyed if they have out-of-province plates) is our top priority right now, but we’re hopeful!
On the road to pitches,

BIG P.S.:
Check out Bruce’s video here: • Change your Registered...
Our situation applies mostly if you already have personal blue plates. Some insurance findings AFTER we filmed:
1) Your van (whether Sprinter or box truck or otherwise) MIGHT be registered as a COMMERCIAL vehicle by Service Ontario. This could happen because you’re buying it second hand from a party that was USING it as a commercial vehicle. What happened to us was we bought it from a dealer (VC Flex in Toronto) who ASKED us what our primary use was going to be (we told him about our conversion and said “personal”) and when he registered the plates for us, he told Service ON that we would be using it as a personal vehicle and that it would be less than 10,000 lbs.
2) If your vehicle has commercial plates and you need an auto policy, you can still get insurance with one of the three insurers we named. Get insured (commercial vehicle on personal policy) first, THEN your immediate action should be to meet 4/6 of the criteria for a motorhome. Flip your van first. Think, scrappy bucket toilet, icebox, Coleman stove, makeshift sink. Since you’ll be REBRANDING the vehicle from commercial to passenger vehicle, you’ll likely need the Used Info Pack and all that jazz. Rebrand from commercial to passenger vehicle, and reclass from cargo van to motorhome RIGHT AWAY to save on insurance. You should be able to do this in literally 2 weekends or less. Just make sure you drive around with the 4/6 items in case you get pulled over.

Our truck is a 2009 GMC Savana G3500 cut-away with a 12 ft box and our dream is to convert it into a camper van for a year-long, North American rock climbing tour. Hence the name, Road to Pitches. Our departure date is set for May 2021.
