Elddis Encore 255 Insurance

The Elddis Encore 255 is the kind of motorhome that balances luxury with usability. It feels like a premium lounge on wheels, without going into the realm of palaces-on-wheels. If you have one, chances are you're into comfort, design, and the quiet joy of a well-planned road trip. The Encore 255 is a 4-berth coachbuilt model with fixed single beds at the rear and a front lounge that converts to a double. There’s also a decent-sized washroom and a fully equipped kitchen; not to mention plenty of thoughtful touches that make life on the road easier.

But all that comes with a certain level of value. And like any motorhome, it's exposed to bumps, scrapes, breakdowns, and the odd unexpected drama. So, when it comes to insurance, the Encore 255 deserves more than a one-size-fits-all policy.

Comfort Without Compromise

This model is known for its twin rear single beds - ideal for couples who like their own space or for those who travel with friends. The central bathroom separates the sleeping and living zones nicely, whilst the layout makes moving around the van feel almost domestic. It's also fully winterised, which means you’re not just stuck with summer use. Perfect for a Christmas getaway or an off-season escape.

But with all these comforts come extras; truma heating, solar panels, advanced media systems - and that means more to protect.

What If...?

Just imagine: you’re parked up at a scenic spot, kettle on, sun shining. Then a neighbouring camper decides to swing their door a bit too wide - straight into your side panel. Later, the heating goes a bit wonky after a frosty night, and you find yourself wrapped in three jumpers, re-reading the manual with a torch.

Would your insurance cover the cosmetic repairs and a call-out for the heating system? Or would you be digging through fine print instead of enjoying your break?

Why the Elddis Encore 255 Needs Tailored Cover

• Fixed interior fittings – Those rear beds, bespoke cabinetry and soft furnishings are worth more than you might realise.
• Mid-to-high-end price bracket – This motorhome may not be top-tier, but it's far from budget.
• Ideal for all-season use – Extra usage means increased risk of wear and tear, both mechanical and cosmetic.
• Extended travel – A favourite for long tours, including across Europe, where mishaps abroad can be harder to sort out.

What Should a Good Policy Include?

Your insurance should reflect how and where you use your Encore, not just the registration details. Look for:

• Agreed value cover – Especially helpful if you've added extras or paid above book price for a well-specced model.
• Built-in features cover – That includes everything from your oven to your satellite dish.
• Accidental damage – Not just major crashes, but those frustrating knocks and scrapes, too.
• Breakdown assistance – Because no one wants to be stuck roadside on the way to Cornwall.
• European cover – Your Encore might love a French vineyard as much as you do.

Your Travel Style Matters

Do you pack it full of bikes and paddleboards? Take it out in all weathers? Or is it more of a summer tourer? Maybe you keep it on the drive, or in a storage facility with security gates and cameras. These little lifestyle choices can shape the type of cover that works best for you.
