parking caravan in communal area

[Kai]

When I tried to get a quote for caravan, it came down to storage location. In my home, there is no driveway but a allocated parking in a communal area. The allocated one is not in front of my house. My son has a private parking space in front of his house. Although it is in the boundary of the property, but adjacent to communal parking area. An insurance company doesn't thinks it is driveway. I see parking on driveway is minimum requirement for parking in a residential address. I wonder if anyone has same situation, and which insurance providers cover this sort of parking.

Sorry, I put this topic in a wrong section.

Personally I wouldn't store a van in either of those locations. Sounds far to accessable to low life's.
You'd be better off looking for secure storage in your area.

First thing to check is the terms & conditions of the communal parking area - caravans may not be allowed - typical car parking spaces (2.4 x 4.8) are inadequate to put a caravan.

I have thought about a secure storage, it is hard to get one in Berkshire or near areas. some a bit far places ask for 30+ quids/week.

Have you tried any farms?

Have you tried any farms?

I tried one near Alton, 30£/week, another one near Reading 32.5£/week. They are not in list of CaSSOA sites. CaSSOA sites are always full in southeast.

You could try Midlands Farm near Bordon. 01428 712201. They do have a waiting list but it’s quick. CASSOA approved.

Don’t worry about it not being Cassoa ifit has decent security. Cassoa is a trade body that gives storage owners extra advertising, but they have to pay to join. The owner of our high security but non Cassoa site said it wasn’t worth it as his site is nearly always full. You may gets cheaper insurance quote if it is Cassoabut in our case there was not a lot in it.
