Hi all

I hope someone can help

I have a old caravan, as it is over 20 years old alot of insurance companys will not insure me .  However after a long look E&L ( i know bad move) where the only ones that would insure me.

Now i have had to make a Claim as some toerags nicked it smashed the side window and nakered the front stabiliser and floor.  Have been trying to get a window but was informed that the window was no longer available as it was an old carvan   My claim has now been looked at and they are not paying out due to the fact that i had taken of the wheel clamp as we where going away that day.

Can anyone help?  Does anyone know where i can get a very cheap window in Scotland or would i just be better selling for spares and repairs?

Cheers

Kelly

someone should ask them what good would a wheel clamp do when someone simply wants to break in through a window???

a wheel clamp on each wheel wouldnt prevent that.

insurance companies take the p**s sometimes

The van was nicked so the wheel clamp may have stopped or at least slowed them down.

yes i was nicked, but they still got in through window (beyond me how they did that) but if i did have wheel clamp on they would still have found a way to nick it.

i was only claiming for window and floor not for the whole caravan.  what would have happened if on holiday no clamp or hitchlock and same thing happened?

when i took out policy i ONLY had hitch lock, but i went and bought a wheel clamp after taken the policy out.

And as i was going away at 5am i didnt want to wake up my street by taking it off plus it would have been dark at that time of morning.
