Something else that needs to be taken into consideration as well is if you have your caravan insured and declared on the policy that it is kept in a secure compound, then if your caravan does get stolen from outside your home the insurance could possibly refuse to pay out in the event of a claim. Annual insurance costs are usually around 10% more if it is not stored on a registered CaSSOA compound so it's important to let the insurance know it's if's kept part time outside your property and part time in storage for you own peace of mind.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, Tango55.  We are only allowed to keep ours at home for 48 hours.

The Caravan club insurance don't mind where you store your van as long as you fit the agreed security devices, in our case a hitch lock and wheel clamp. I specifically asked this when taking out the policy last year and was informed I could keep it at our storage site or on the drive with no restrictions......worth I thought if anyone is looking to re-new and wants more flexability.

"She said that flat bed transit Van with the woman passenger and kid were parked outside 40 Minutes ago for five minutes. I got up and went to the window just as they were pulling away very slowly they didn't see me but they were haveing a good old look at my Caravan parked on the drive."

"Anyway it is safely back in storage now."

This story very nicely paints a picture I am sure we can all imagine. Made me think of Butch and Sundance and how Mr E. H. Harriman improved security after various train robberies. I like to think that they came  back late at night with their low loader and just looked at the empty drive and said "What did you have to go and do that for Woodcock"

My storage site recently got Cassoa silver status and put the prices up saying you'd get discount from your insurance companies, i phoned the caravan club who said you only got a discount if it was a gold site and the discount was 5%, so made no difference really.

That's exactly why we insured ours with the caravan club. It was such a pain wading through the "storage conditions" with many companies, the CC seemed much more straightforward and the price was competitive so we've stuck with them.
