Hi Guys,

CAN ANYONE HELP 17

 

We have been looking to get our equipment and trailer insured for our forth-comming trip in a weeks time to Somerset then down to Brixham.

I have spent hours online to no avail and only found one site that will insure the tent ok, however they only insure the equipment for 25% of the tents value 17.

As most of you camper's will know, we all keep adding to the bits we take away and it does add up to a bit more that the tent.

In a perfect world we need to cover for fire, theft, acc damage.

 

Look forward to any replies 17

I managed to get my tent and stuff insured through CCC although it's only for market value and not new for old.  However the premium is quite low and it would be better than nothing if the worst happened.

i looked into this and hit a brick wall:

home insurers wouldn't cover it, even as an addon (although some do, so worth checking). and all the specific tent/camping insurance i looked at was absolutely useless when you read the fine print (including the CCC one) because it basically doesn't cover you for anything. i couldn't think of one single scenario that was actually covered by any of them after you'd taken into account all the exceptions... total con.

let me know if you find any better!
