I can see this clause coming in on policies as more people stop towing and pitch their caravans on sites, as it will probably alter the risk assessment,

I needed to leave my van for 10 days on a CL as we had to go home and rather than tow the van 500 miles I left it on site. Emailed Caravanguard and said what I wanted to do, they asked the postcode of the CL, then said fine no extra cost.

I'd rather have that clause than one that says no towing over 100% 😱

Presumably the CL being a part of the Caravan Club showed it was registered for leisure use with the Club, and therefore exempt from Local Authority registration.

That I don't know, I just read 72hrs unattended in the policy and emailed them.

Who know if those camping sites in pitch up, asci and etc are registered with local authorities.
Pitchup.com website has a detailed description of what owners setting up a campsite have to do to be compliant with the Law. However what evidence Pitchup seek when new sites are placed on the site I don’t know. After all it’s not Pitchups responsibility to vet a landowners actions. Just like if you book a hotel stay you don’t know if the hotel is compliant with all aspects of the Law.

At the end of the day all that matters is who pays most claims without aggravation.
Caravanguard paid out without a quibble when my van got scraped by a motorhome on the ferry.
They are still pursuing the motorhomer that left his handbrake off and caused the accident. I await to see next year if there is a rise in premium.
