    New Caravan Disasters

    One of our old caravans which were Swift had an auto shut off on the hob if the lid was closed. Our new van, a 2014 Swift Challenger Sport 586 has a hob with no auto shut off, so yes checks would need to be made before closing the hob cover to prevent shattering.

    I echo the above. BE VERY CAREFUL when calling your insurers as soon as you mention an incident whether you pursue it or not it gets marked on your reecord and hey presto your premiums will change to reflect it. I have been advised by a friend who works in the insurance business that if you...
