It wont matter if they are not on the paper work, we bought ours brand new, and it still says previous owners not known, all that matters is the fact that its in your name. and it helps to protect it from those little darlings that like to take things that dont belong to them.

as for insurance caravan club  never asked for Cris. Have you tried them.

The caravan club wouldnt insure us untill we were fullly registered with CRIS.As I understand it , its compulsory for you to register with CRIS now. The fee is only a tenner. Your people clearly have alot of money but didnt want to part with any!

If you dont have the documents correct it wont cost you any more money but it will be one hell of a headache. Our experience of CRIS was that they werent very efficient at sorting it out when we didnt have the appropriate docs ( my parents couldnt find the registration document and didnt even remember the necessity to register it!)that caused us months of headache and an un-insured van.

IAs you have the docs, filling them in and sending your tenner!  will have been worth not having the sleepless nights! ( your problem would be if they didnt actually own the van- that sounds unlikely given that they had the docs!)

Hi all, thanks for replies,

I think I will phone the insurance companies and just ask them outright. I have sent all my details to cris, who have emailed me telling me that it will be about 6-8 weeks because of the lack of history, so maybe that will be enough for the insurance companies, that I have started reg process?

Anyway thank you all, someone has suggested to me that I can get my car insurance to cover any accidents caused by my caravan, so I will phone them and sort that out at least.
