Hello All,
Hope you all had a relaxing Easter break, I was on the M1 on Thursday p.m. on my way home & passed several outfits, maybe some of you...?
Meanwhile I've been exploring the crazy world of caravan insurance. What surprises me most are not the high premiums (the van is new so I expected this) but the fact that the van is to be kept on a Gold CaSSOA registered site and this doesn't appear to reduce insurance premiums, as is often claimed. The quote I received from the CC was one of the most expensive (!) & when I explained where the van was to be kept they told me it didn't make any difference - as did a couple of other insurers who advertise in PCV!
So is it worth paying over the odds to keep a van on a CaSSOA secure site rather than farmer's field type storage where the only security (apart from wheelclamp & hitchlock fited to the van) is a dodgy gate which is usually left open? Granted it may possibly be 'easier' to steal a van from this type of site but do the odds of this happening make it worth paying extra for CaSSOA storage?
