Our Kit is now 8 years old, Trailer, Tent and a shed load of stuff.
I used to insure when it was all shiny and new, but don't bother now, as it stands me at nowt, and current day value would be next to nothing in the eyes of an insurance company.
Having said that the European Travel cover that comes with the company car I drive, does include the Tent and Trailer, but to what extent I have no idea.
Having been going to France camping since 1978, we never ever bothered with Holiday insurance, but since turning 50 back in 2010, we take out insurance, it actually works out cheaper to go for annual cover than just say a fortnights cover.
It costs us for Couples cover £30, info found on the Martin Lewis website.
It covers the bits that the EHIC does not cover, and a whole bunch of other stuff, should we need it, but does not cover for the Tent or Trailer, but does for some bits of the kit.
Although I am quite sure the portable fridges and satelite kit are not covered!

As your Tent is a recent purchase, then getting the insurance is a good idea, if only for peace of mind, Shield will cover it, a Tent of that value including kit would be around £50 for the Annual Policy at a guess.
As for getting to the campsite, unlike Caravans and MotorHomes, us Tenters have a lot of work to do when we get to the campsite.
After a long drive, don't under estimate how tired you will be, when it comes to pitching a tent in Temps going on for +30Deg C.
We always aim to get to the campsite no later than noon, OK most French campsites say your Pitch is available from 2pm, but if the Pitch is vacant when you arrive, they will more than likely let you on.
We do 3 overnights in France on the way down to the Med, and 2 on the way back, we have done it in less in the past, so long as you don't over do it, you will be fine, and as your young what the hell!
