There is nothing better than a glass of Scrumpy cider after a long day of surfing in Cornwall or Devon but there is nothing worse than trying to get dry and warm in an already damp tent. That’s why I no longer camp on my annual pilgrimage to the beach. This summer many hundreds of surfing amateurs and pros alike will be headed for British and European seas, and more of them than ever are going by caravan.
Caravans are by far the best choice for a surfing holiday; there is countless space for wet suits, towels and surfboards. I don’t have my own board but it’s much less expensive to engage one for the week as opposed to each day. It is not just less expensive but you have the opportunity to really get the experience of the board. Hiring a board for the week is pretty challenging without a caravan; even a short board would be hard to squeeze in a tent. That’s why I feel like a pro every year, despite sitting on my board in the green waves and searching for seals for most of the day.
The problem with caravans is the insurance. It is easy to forget to check if their insurance can give them the cover they require. If travelling to Europe then you have to make sure you have the right European caravan insurance or else you maybe left less mellow than the average surfer when something goes wrong! Don’t let some uninsured driver make you miss the surf this year, get caravan insurance!
Surfing all day means leaving the caravan unattended. Any true surfing lover will realize that the early surf is the better. When all said and done who would like to share the waves with the foam board tourists? That’s why you ought to ensure that your caravan insurance safeguards your contents. Particularly if you have any second boards left in it! A great specialist caravan insurance broker will be in a position to talk you through exactly what your policy includes.
Surfers are meant to be worry free so let someone else do the worrying! Don’t leave anything to chance this summer and get the right insurance for your caravan. Don’t forget that mileage, overseas travel and what you require to protect can all have a bearing on your cover so chat with an agent that can find the correct policy for you. Enjoy the surf!
It’s sometimes difficult to get caravan insurance to cover exactly what you want it to. If you want to ensure that you don’t get swindled by your insurers it’s best to use a broker that has good relationships with insurance brokers and who know their field inside out.

It was five years ago, on my yearly trip to Leeds Festival that I became a caravan lover. That year I didn’t have an early pass and was eager to find a place to camp before there was no space left when the strap on my main rucksack broke. I balanced it on my tent bag and trudged on through the, now fluid, mud. Subsequently this additional weight then broke the strap on my tent bag, leaving me stranded.
Fortunately some friends of mine were nearby in the caravan section and helped me carry my things to their caravan. What luxury! It was only a cheap caravan but when equated with my one-man tent in which I couldn’t lie down straight, even without my bag, it was brilliant. How jealous I was of their luxury caravan when I opened my bag to find half of my things broken and damaged by the fall in the mud.
The next year I was of course in one of those dry, warm caravans and happily watched the other festivalgoers struggle with their bags. Evidently my luck hadn’t improved and the caravan flooded. Again my new Top Shop inspired festival wardrobe was destroyed together with the majority of the caravan.
Thankfully I’d thought to make sure contents were included on my caravan insurance. We didn’t have to worry about the harm to the caravan and I would even say we enjoyed living in the damp for three days. When all said and done, it is all part of the festival experience.
Now we have annual caravan holidays abroad, which are ideal for a cheap holiday with friends. I wouldn’t stop my caravan holidays for anything and definitely wouldn’t risk an uninsured driver crashing into us and spoiling our tradition. Since the flood incident I always ensure we have the right insurance cover for whatever country we happen to journey to, it’s so critical to have the right cover for European travel.
If you have an RV then you have good taste, and really know how to have fun. Enjoy your motor caravan and go on holiday. But don’t forget that holidays are meant to be stress free; with our less than reliable weather this isn’t forever the situation. Get the right cover for your trip and have a good time!
You will need to make sure that when you go to your festival or off on your vacation that you have the correct caravan insurance to cover everything that could go wrong. Coversure are a trusted insurance broker with strong relationships with insurance providers. They will be able to secure you the best deal on your caravan insurance.
This Easter saw caravan holidays rise to the status of “most convenient” after the eruption of the Icelandic volcano saw most aeroplanes around the world either completely grounded or at least disrupted.
It was truly a great feeling, pulling my caravan home whilst air-traffic had ground to a halt and not even having to concern myself with whether or not my insurance covered volcanic eruptions covered happening in a distant country. It suddenly feels as if caravan lovers everywhere have been vindicated. Next time someone says something along the lines of “cars towing caravans are slow and only get in the way” you could remind them that there was a period around Easter 2010 in which a caravan could get from anywhere in Europe to almost anywhere else in Europe faster than the average plane.
Also, the “cramped and claustrophobic” conditions that so many people associate caravans with seemed like the most luxurious and spacious of interiors compared to a hotel lobby or a space on an airport floor.
Between those who love the freedom offered by caravan holidays, this is all, of course irrelevant. We like our thing, and you like yours. How tedious the world would be if we all liked the same thing. The reason for the gloat is that the uninitiated often see fit to poke fun at our choice, while we rarely do the opposite.
So, although I didn’t incur any of the costs and inconveniences that the aeroplane fan-club did this Easter, I did have some additional costs, and not the kind that you can insure against either.
I took a copy of Caravan Magazine with me because we are thinking of buying a new one (caravan that is, not magazine). We planned to read all about the cost and proportions of our next purchase, but ended up reading their insurance survey. It looks like, because I couldn’t be bothered to call a broker, I have overpaid on my own caravan insurance – by quite a lot. If you are looking for cheap caravan insurance, you ought to shop around, because the Caravan Magazine Insurance Survey had loads of comparisons, and I was surprised by the results.
If you are looking to take out caravan insurance, but want to make sure you get the best deal possible, you should arrange it through Coversure. They are an insurance broker with long-standing relationships with providers and can always secure a great deal on static caravan insurance or touring caravan insurance.
No matter whether you use your caravan for your holidays, your main home or attach it to the back of your car in nice weather you should make sure that you have caravan insurance. It may be something that you have not thought of, especially if it spends most of the time on your front drive, but it is a necessity as we never know what is round the corner.
When deciding what kind of insurance coverage you need you will first need to think about what kind of caravan you own, whether it is one that is touring or whether it is in one place, otherwise known as a static caravan. You also need to think about the things that you keep in the caravan, whether all or part time. These things also include the cooker, fridge and you can even insure the furnishings should they become damaged.
If it is a static caravan you wish to insure you need to make sure that if you want to have any items you keep just outside such as a patio or furniture is also under the insurance. This is because not all policies will cover this so you need to check beforehand.
People will steal a caravan if they can make money from it whether it is on your drive or try to break in if you are in a holiday park. Security measures can never be 100% foolproof and criminals are always finding ways around even the latest technologies. Of course it will be distressing enough if you are a victim of such crime but you should make sure that you do have the coverage so that you can replace anything that is damaged or stolen without having to use your savings to do so. It ill depend on the coverage you choose as to whether you will receive an old for new or whether you will be given the market value of the caravan at the time.
You can see that there are many benefits to making sure your caravan is covered by insurance, you will find that you can insure touring caravans if they are involved in any kind of accident while you are on the road. This will also mean that if anyone is injured and you are liable the medical bills and court costs will be covered as well as any property damage that may be caused.
People who choose to use the caravan as their full time residence will not be able to have the same amount of security as you would do in a house, although it has improved over the years. If you were to have everything you owned stolen or were victim to an arson attack you will need to make sure that everything can be replaced and this is why caravan insurance is a good idea no matter the time you wish to use it for.

Caravans and motorhomes have made a significant comeback this year. The insurance brokers have noticed it and there’s no doubt that the caravan parks and travel agents have noticed it as well. It seems that with the economy in the state that it’s in people want to save money and so have decided against expensive holidays abroad and chosen to stay a little closer to home for a fraction of the price.
According to the National caravan Council there are now 500,000 caravans in regular use in the UK by no less than 1.5 million caravan fans. Meanwhile, the Camping and Caravanning Club has reported a massive 21% increase in the number of bookings. Perhaps its a counter cyclical marketplace, but the caravan manufacturers aren’t complaining about the recession. Swift recently reported 12% year on year growth.
All of this is going to mean that the roads are going to get busier and busier, and take more and more of a battering. All this additional pressure is on top of the beating that our roads took during the winter. We have all noticed the dreadful pot holes in the road.
I wonder sometimes when I see these huge chasms in the road whether I will spot a kangaroo head popping out! I’m sure that these vast potholes must be causing damage to vehicles of any description, indeed, I’m sure that they must even cause accidents sometimes!
It’s not compulsory to buy insurance for caravans, but advisable. You wouldn’t pull any other important belonging behind your car, or leave it unattended in a park without insuring it, would you? There are, I’m informed over 30 motor caravan and caravan insurers, so it feels like the specialist advice is available to those willing to look for it. My advice would be to ask a broker to help you. In a recent survey conducted by well respected magazines brokers came out as the most competitive for price, and it’s good to be able to ask questions and get proper advice… from a human.
If you are looking for caravan insurance, your best bet is to have a broker secure you the best deal possible as many of them have long-standing relationships with the insurance companies and so can get you the caravan insurance for a much cheaper price.
