Shield Total Insurance has received over 100 claims from caravan insurance customers caught in a single freak hailstorm that swept across the Midlands on 28th June, this year. That’s five times the annual average in just one day! Caravans on sites, roads and driveways from Worcester to Melton Mowbray bore the brunt of a hailstorm that caused extensive damage to rooflights, rear panels, side panels and most commonly, impact points on roofs. The photo shows some of the giant hailstones captured on camera by a Shield Total Insurance customer

I have received a call from a customer in the midlands who still hasn't had his Caravan fixed, he has asked whether we can look at repairing it...are there still people out there whose caravans haven't yet been sorted?

Have you ever looked under a caravan when buying?  You might say who does?

I recently had a problem with the chassis of my caravan, I had a minorbump in a layby the nearside wheel droped over the kirb.  It didn't both me untill I was ready to take of the wheels for winter storage. I found that the Chassis was cracked indeed broken .

I made a claim on my insurance to be toldby the loss adjuster that it was a manufacturing fault.  As I had purchsed  the caravan 3 years ago as a used van 3 years old, I had no come back on either the manufacturer or the dealer.  When the rails where removed for replacement it was now obvious that the chassis had been broken for some time and probably by the previous owner who had jacked back the damaged member so the it could not be detected.  I had been pulling my caravan 1500 miles each year whith a broken chassis member imagine my thoughts!. The  repair cost me £2200.00
