Save money off your Caravan Insurance – Protect Your Caravan Contents With SmartWater
A revolutionary anti-theft measure proven to reduce burglary by as much as 56% can now be used to protect caravan contents.
SmartWater Tracer liquid has been successfully used by police forces in some of Britain’s most crime-ridden communities to help tackle car and property theft
The Tracer liquid is designed for the protection of general domestic items and commercial assets, such as IT & audio/visual equipment, power tools, and hobby items including golf clubs. Its unique forensic fingerprint is almost invisible to the naked eye, fluoresces under ultraviolet light, and is virtually impossible to completely remove.
While police forces have reported thefts fall in areas using SmartWater technology, the liquid makes property easy to identify should the worst happen. At the price of £30, the tracer packs ensure that any stolen contents will be indelibly tagged to their rightful owners.
“SmartWater is an official police accredited organisation and works with law enforcement bodies to provide a simple and effective deterrent against burglary,” explains cover4caravans.co.uk director, Richard Burgess. “Caravans are particular susceptible to petty theft and burglary as they are infrequently habited and used mostly at weekends. The SmartWater Tracer liquid is therefore a very useful tool for caravan owners wishing to secure valuables such as TVs and Microwaves left in the caravan for convenience’s sake”
Caravans themselves can also be marked in a similar manner using SmartWater Instant. This version of the product mixes uniquely numbered micro-dot particles with the forensic solution. The particles enable the police service to quickly establish true ownership of the property in situ ensuring the swift return of stolen caravans marked with the indelible ownership print.
Using this type of product may help reduce your Caravan Insurance premiums in the longer term as Police are able to recover your stolen contents then your claim will be reduced or not be made at all and you will keep your No Claims Discount in place.
Even a single claim against your Caravan Insurance can increase your premiums. Here at Cover4Caravans we are always amazed by how many of our competitors try and put large premium loadings onto their Caravan Insurance Policy holders who have had just the one claim – we like to here your side of the story and we will then offer you a Caravan Insurance quotation based on your last 10 years of Caravanning not just the one unlucky year you have just had! Now that is a breath of fresh air from a Caravans Insurance Broker – so call us on 0800 970 7172 and tell us your story!

Fire demonstrates importance of Motor Home insurance
A caravan fire in Blackpool last year once again highlighted the importance of taking out comprehensive Motor Home Insurance. It is difficult for Motor Home owners to ensure that their Motor Home is protected 24-hours a day and the latest incident to hit a Motor Home has highlighted how unpredictable the situation can be. The Blackpool Citizen reported that police are looking for juveniles following the incident, which saw a blaze destroy a Motor Home in the early hours of Saturday morning, causing £6,000 of damage to the Motor Home. A witness reported that a group of juveniles had been spotted near Grizedale Road, in Blackpool, shortly before the Motor Home blaze began in that street and as such police are keen to speak to these juveniles. Because incidents such as this can happen anywhere and at any time, taking out comprehensive Motor Home insurance is vital to ensuring that the Motor Home owner will not have to fork out large sums of money to repair the damage themselves. The Motor Home Insurance policies sold at Cover4Caravans all include arson cover and our rates are very competitive.

Farmer wins caravan dispute and another site for our Caravan Insurance Customers is expanded!
A south Wiltshire farmer has won a long battle for the right to allow more caravanners to use his site. Martin Blandford, who owns White Hill Farm in Pitton, has used part of his land for the past 15 years to provide facilities for around ten tents and five caravans, reported the Salisbury Journal. It looked as though that would be the way things would stay after his application in September 2007 for more land to be given over to holidaymakers was rejected by the local council. However, a second application was more successful and Mr Blandford will this year be hoping to see an additional 20 pitches being used in two small fields. Mr Blandford said that he was relieved and that work had already started on the landscaping. “A new shower and toilet block will be built and although I have had to turn away some caravanners and campers who wanted to stay over Easter, I am confident the work will be done in time for this year’s main holiday season” he told the Salisbury Journal. South Wiltshire is a popular spot for caravanners, with Salisbury, Stonehenge, the New Forest and the south coast all within easy reach. Other than making your reservation at the Park you wish to visit the only other matter you need to take care of before you take your Touring Caravan away for your well deserved break is your Caravan Insurance.

Calling all Touring Caravan Insurance Customers – lets ensure we have a safe summer!
While caravanners should always check they have full touring caravan insurance in place before heading off on their holidays, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has warned parents to educate their little ones to the dangers of construction sites before going away. The HSE is warning that schoolchildren may treat construction sites as playgrounds, therefore caravanners ought to make sure their kids are aware of the risks before heading out on their caravan holiday. Between the statistical years 2001 to 2002 and 2005 to 2006, 281 injuries to children were reported to the HSE during construction works, although precautions could have prevented them. Geoff Cox, head of operations for HSE Yorkshire and Humber, commented: “Let’s ensure that long summer evenings remain a time for fun and adventure for children and not a time of tragedy because children have, understandably, been drawn to construction sites as exciting places to play” Mr Cox added: “Construction sites can be a dangerous attraction for children. The dangers are numerous and varied, including scaffolding, reversing vehicles, electrical power supplies, ladders and falling equipment. Access to construction sites should be restricted and risks should be assessed by site managers to ensure that untoward incidents are prevented. The consequences could be awful and even life threatening.” If we are honest with ourselves most of the above is common sense but here at cover4caravans we are never surprised at the advice the HSE likes to release for us wonderful parents and business owners! One thing you can be assured of however is that if you contact us for a quotation for your Touring Caravan Insurance you will only receive relevant advice from one of our friendly Touring Caravan Insurance Experts.
