There is nothing better than a glass of Scrumpy cider after a long day of surfing in Cornwall or Devon but there is nothing worse than trying to get dry and warm in an already damp tent. That’s why I no longer camp on my annual pilgrimage to the beach. This summer many surfing amateurs and pros alike will be headed for British and European seas, and more of them than ever are going by caravan.

Caravans are by far the best choice for a surfing holiday; there’s numerous space for wet suits, towels and surfboards. I don’t have mine board but it’s much less expensive to lease one for the seven days in preference to on a daily basis. It is not just less expensive but you have the opportunity to really get the feel of the board. Hiring a board for the seven days is pretty challenging without a caravan; even a short board would be hard to squeeze in a tent. This is one of the reasons why I feel like a pro every year, despite sitting on my board in the green waves and looking for seals for the majority of of the day.

The problem with caravans is the insurance. Many people forget to ascertain if their insurance can give them the cover they require. If travelling to Europe then you have to make certain you have the right European caravan insurance or else you might be left less mellow than the standard surfer when something goes wrong! Don’t let some uninsured driver make you miss the surf this year, get caravan insurance!

Surfing all day means leaving the caravan unattended. Any true surfing lover will realize that the early surf is the better. After all who wants to share the waves with the foam board tourists? That’s why you should make sure that your caravan insurance looks after your contents. Particularly if you’ve any second planks left in it! A great specialist caravan insurance broker will be able to talk you through precisely what your policy includes.

Surfers are meant to be worry free so let someone else do the worrying! Don’t leave anything to chance this summer and get the right insurance for your caravan. Don’t forget that mileage, overseas travel and what you require to protect can all have a bearing on your cover so chat with an agent that can find the correct policy for you. Enjoy the surf!

It’s sometimes hard to get caravan insurance that covers precisely what you need it to. The best way to ensure that you don’t get swindled by your insurers is to get hold of an insurance broker that has existing relationships with insurance providers and who know their field inside out.

It was five years ago, on my annual trip to Leeds Festival that I became a caravan lover. That year I didn’t have an early pass and was eager to find a location to camp before there was no space left when the strap on my main rucksack broke. I balanced it on my tent bag and trudged on through the, now liquid, mud. Subsequently this additional weight then broke the strap on my tent bag, leaving me stranded.

Luckily some friends of mine were nearby in the caravan section and helped me carry my things to their caravan. What luxury! It was only an inexpensive caravan but compared to my one-man tent in which I couldn’t lie down straight, even without my bag, it was brilliant. How jealous I was of their luxury caravan when I opened my bag to find half of my things broken and damaged by the fall in the mud.

The next year I was of course in one of those dry, warm caravans and happily watched the other festivalgoers struggle with their bags. Evidently my luck hadn’t improved and the caravan flooded. Again my new Top Shop inspired festival wardrobe was destroyed together with the majority of the caravan.

Thankfully I’d thought to check that contents were included on my caravan insurance. We didn’t have to worry about the harm to the caravan and I would even say we enjoyed living in the damp for three days. In the end, it is all part of the festival experience.

Now we have annual caravan holidays abroad, which are ideal for a low cost holiday with friends. I wouldn’t stop my caravan holidays for anything and definitely wouldn’t risk an uninsured driver hitting us and spoiling our tradition. Since the flood incident I always make sure we have the right insurance cover for whatever country we happen to go to, it’s so critical to have the right cover for European travel.

If you’ve a motor home then you have good taste, and really know how to have a good time. Enjoy your motor caravan and go on holiday. But don’t forget that holidays are meant to be stress free; with our less than reliable weather this isn’t forever the situation. Get the right cover for your vacation and have fun!

You will want to ensure that when you go to your festival of choice or off on your holiday that you have the correct caravan insurance to cover every possible scenario.
