There is nothing better than a glass of Scrumpy cider after a long day of surfing in Cornwall or Devon but there is nothing worse than trying to get dry and warm in an already damp tent. That’s why I no longer camp on my annual pilgrimage to the beach. This summer many surfing amateurs and pros alike will be headed for British and European seas, and more of them than ever are going by caravan.

Caravans are by far the best choice for a surfing holiday; there’s numerous space for wet suits, towels and surfboards. I don’t have mine board but it’s much less expensive to lease one for the seven days in preference to on a daily basis. It is not just less expensive but you have the opportunity to really get the feel of the board. Hiring a board for the seven days is pretty challenging without a caravan; even a short board would be hard to squeeze in a tent. This is one of the reasons why I feel like a pro every year, despite sitting on my board in the green waves and looking for seals for the majority of of the day.

The problem with caravans is the insurance. It is easy to forget to check if their insurance can give them the cover they require. If travelling to Europe then you have to make sure you have the right European caravan insurance or else you maybe left less mellow than the average surfer when something goes wrong! Don’t let some uninsured driver make you miss the surf this year, get caravan insurance!

Surfing all day means leaving the caravan unattended. Any true surfing lover will realize that the early surf is the better. When all said and done who would like to share the waves with the foam board tourists? That’s why you ought to ensure that your caravan insurance safeguards your contents. Particularly if you have any second boards left in it! A great specialist caravan insurance broker will be in a position to talk you through exactly what your policy includes.

Surfers are meant to be worry free so let someone different do the worrying! Don’t leave anything to chance this summer and get the correct insurance for your caravan. Don’t forget that mileage, overseas travel and what you require to safeguard can all affect your cover so chat to a broker that can find the proper policy for you. Enjoy the surf!

It’s not always easy to get caravan insurance that covers precisely what you want it to. If you want to ensure that you don’t get swindled by your insurers it’s best to use a broker that has existing relationships with insurance brokers and who know their field inside out.

Going To A Festival? Experience The Luxury Of A Caravan

It was five years ago, on my annual trip to Leeds Festival that I became a caravan lover. That year I didn’t have an early pass and was desperate to find a place to camp before there was no space left when the strap on my main rucksack broke. I balanced it on my tent bag and trudged on through the, now liquid, mud. Subsequently this additional weight then broke the strap on my tent bag, leaving me stranded.

As luck would have it some friends of mine were nearby in the caravan section and helped me carry my things to their caravan. What luxury! It was only a low cost caravan but in comparison to my one-man tent in which I couldn’t lie down straight, even without my bag, it was brilliant. How jealous I was of their luxury caravan when I opened my bag to find half of my things broken and damaged by the fall in the mud.

The next year I was naturally in one of those dry, warm caravans and happily watched the other festivalgoers struggle with their bags. Apparently my luck hadn’t improved and the caravan flooded. Again my new Top Shop inspired festival wardrobe was destroyed along with most of other caravan.

Thankfully I’d thought to make sure contents were included on my caravan insurance. We didn’t have to worry about the harm to the caravan and I would even say we enjoyed living in the damp for three days. When all said and done, it is all part of the festival experience.

Now we have annual caravan holidays abroad, which are ideal for a low cost holiday with friends. I wouldn’t stop my caravan holidays for anything and definitely wouldn’t risk an uninsured driver hitting us and spoiling our tradition. Since the flood incident I always make sure we have the right insurance cover for whatever country we happen to go to, it’s so critical to have the right cover for European travel.

If you’ve a motor home then you have good taste, and really know how to have a good time. Enjoy your motor caravan and go on holiday. But don’t forget that holidays are meant to be stress free; with our less than reliable weather this isn’t forever the situation. Get the right cover for your vacation and have fun!

You will need to ensure that when you go to your festival of choice or off on your vacation that you have the correct caravan insurance to cover everything that could go wrong. Coversure are a trusted insurance broker with strong relationships with insurance providers. They will be able to get you the best deal on your caravan insurance.

Caravan Lovers Need Not Concern Themselves With Volcanoes

This Easter saw caravan holidays rise to the status of “most convenient” after the eruption of the Icelandic volcano saw most aeroplanes around the world either completely grounded or at least disrupted.

It was an extremely satisfying feeling, pulling my caravan home under clear, aeroplane-free skies and not worrying in the slightest about whether my insurance covered me against volcanic eruptions happening in far off countries. As a caravan lover, I felt vindicated. The next time someone says that towing caravans is slow and holds up the roads, remind them of the time back in Easter 2010 when a caravan could get from anywhere in Europe, to nearly anywhere else in Europe faster than the average plane.

Also, the “cramped and claustrophobic” conditions that so many people associate caravans with seemed like the most luxurious and spacious of interiors compared to a hotel lobby or a space on an airport floor.

This is all, of course irrelevant within the caravan community; we like our holidays and you like yours. How tedious would the world be if we all liked the same things? However the reason for the somewhat smug nature of this article is that those who are not into caravanning often tend to poke fun at our choice of holiday, while we rarely, if ever, do the same to them.

So, although I didn’t incur any of the costs and inconveniences that the aeroplane fan-club did this Easter, I did have some additional costs, and not the kind that you can insure against either.

I took the latest edition of Caravan Magazine with me on my travels because we are thinking of buying a new caravan soon and we had planned to read all about the cost of our next purchase, but ended up reading their insurance survey. It seems after reading this survey that because I couldn’t be bothered to buy my insurance through a broker, I overpaid for it by quite a lot. If you are looking to get cheap caravan insurance it would be well worth shopping around because there were loads of comparisons in Caravan Magazine and I was quite surprised by some of the results.

If you are looking for caravan insurance, but want to make sure you get the best deal possible, you should arrange it through Coversure. They are an insurance broker with long-standing relationships with providers and can always secure a fantastic deal on touring caravan insurance or static caravan insurance.
