Insurance
In the modern world, insurance is necessary on most things, particularly things as valuable as a static caravan. Insure the caravan’s full value and that of its contents; this will provide cover and peace of mind should the worst happen. Usual quotes are around £180 – £219 a year. We suggest Coast insurance, but this is totally your decision. All we ask is that you provide us with a copy of your certificate for our records.
Warranties
There are several warranties on the holiday home, please check with your paperwork upon receipt of your van. If you have any queries please feel free to ask.
General Maintenance
Thanks to modern building materials and techniques, this shouldn’t be too much of a concern for you. These days, static caravans are well put together units, leaving caravan owners only responsible for the most basic of maintenance. Remember that, while caravan warranties can be extended, most will not cover damage caused by regular wear and tear.
Finance Arrangements
If you purchased your holiday caravan on finance, always remember to factor any monthly finance payments into your budget.
