My caravan has been damaged by the really bad hail storm we had in the Midlands yesterday. The door side has at least a dozen glancing 1cm dents in it and god only knows what the roof looks like.

How would I stand with my caravan insurance? The caravan is actually in storage so would I go through their insurance?

Any thoughts are welcome.

Thanks, Neil

Apparently some were as big as tennis balls!

The storage owner has had his insurance company look at my van and he's said they will get me a quote for the repairs. I take it I really need to speak to my insurer first to see what options I have.

Van is only 2 years old and gutted to see these marks all over her.

I had a friend who had as similar experience and like DARKLORD their caravan was also written off.  It was only a couple of years old too.  It lookied like someone had shot it with a machine gun.

Good luck, I'm sure the insurance won't quibble

Oh Blimey!! Now the manufacturers will REALLY have to do some thinking where do we go from here?  Armour plated caravans?  complete with Tiger tank . . .

Adria use polyester roofs. So should be able to cope but does anyone with an Adria in the affected areas know how they have faired?

I asked on another forum for any feedback from Adria owners(with polyester sides and roofs)who live in the hailstone affected area. There has been no reported Adria's affected. Could this be a way forward for other manufacturers. I see bailey are using GRP sides on the Orion!
