Picture the scene – you’re towing your caravan to a campsite on your long-awaited and well-earned tour.
Suddenly, another driver makes a foolish error and clips the side of your caravan, resulting in damage to your home-from-home.
It’s a pain, but not to worry, your caravan insurance will take care of it – at least, that’s what you might think.
But choose the wrong insurance plan – or worse still, don’t take out any caravan insurance at all – and you could be left high and dry with expensive repairs and a ruined holiday.
Go with a cut-price provider and you might feel as though you’ve got a great bargain. But will it seem such a good deal when you need to make a claim, and you find you’re not fully covered?
