Hi

Might be worth shopping around.

I think (from memory) that C.C. minimum is £50

Where your home insurance comes into play is if you have what is called "away from home" cover.  This covers you for items you take out of the home such as a tv, stereo, camera, digi cam etc etc.  Check with your home insurer for exact details.

Well then you would not have conventional home insurance and would add it to the caravan insurance!  ie I insure through the Caravan Club, the van is insured for X amount and the contents for Y amount.  I do also have away from home on the home insurance so hopefully it is covered from all angles.

Same here.   I think you should telephone the CC and ask how they treat things you have permanently installed in the caravan.  If it is screwed in place IMHO it becomes part of the van.  You would then need to add the cost of those items to the value of the van.  But by doing so they would be covered on a "market value" basis.

BTW, it is not really cost effective to fit a shower and hot water to an older van as these items are pretty expensive.

Yes, using second hand stuff, say from a caravan breaker, would be a lot cheaper.

Good luck!

"horrendous stories of the reluctant attitude of the police" you say. I say have a look at your local force's website and see how they're doing in terms of detection rates, forced on them by Tony Blairs policies, before knocking their good work. People like you, afraid to pay for a bit of quality insurance for your own items, whilst wanting everything that comes your way, really annoy me. Get the best insurance you can afford, for home, car and caravan, then you'll sleep a little safer. Otherwise, let me know where you buy those rose coloured glasses from.
