... only time I'm not covered is whilst on a camping site.

We store our van in the link, it is a old van so we dont bother with insurance. Cost is 250 euros a year, we arrive to find it sited on a pitch hooked up and washed for us. The simple solution to uk touring is buy another van, we have one in the uk on a seasonal pitch at Blackpool and we maintian storage for that in the uk, the storage in the uk costs us £260 pounds.

After many years of continental touring we have decided to store the van in Spain, the sheer road cost of getting it there and back have now totally changed the way i feel about the holiday choice that i love.

It depends on circumstances, If your caravan is oldish, you have had a few yrs use out of it then it may be worth leaving it down there until its scrap if you are happy to go to same site for a few yrs. Theres no need to insure it if its old, or service running gear if its only being towed a couple of miles to site. Interior jobs you can do yourself while you are there.

You may not even need to use anything inside the 'van that needs servicing anyway. Most campers use an outside cooker & a domestic fridge in the awning.
