Hello Louise
Check with your house insurance sometimes camping equipment is covered on home contents. Otherwise the camping and caravan club amongst others offer insurance on tents.

We got got both the Tent/Kit and Trailer on separate policies through the C&CC "Club Care Insurance Services", at around £50 a pop, I am not convinced that the cover is worthwhile, as in the event of loss they only replace at market value, the reason I took the insurance was because I bought my tent and kit all brand new at about half advertised market value at the time, so my theory was that if it became a loss, I would at least get back almost what I had paid for the Tent and Kit, similiar tale with my trailer got that new for around 30% below advertised market price, but that was two years ago, so I doubt I will bother insuring for this next season, as the now market value will be well low, they may even say a 3 year old tent is worth nowt, who can say.

If they were to insure for a fixed monetry value, then fine, but they don't, like all insurance they are out to pull your pants down, in the event of a claim.

Strange thing is though I noticed on my European Car insurance, that it also included the tent replacement should mine become a loss, but again the devil would be in the detail, and I doubt they would replace like for like.

As for the C&CC "Club Care Insurance Services" that is run by "Vantage Insurance Services Limited" VISL being a member of the C&CC gets you around 10% discount, I am sure they deal with none members and can be contacted on 01277 243000

Hope that helps.
