It was with real shock and great sadness that we found out yesterday that Eric Gwilt, the man behind the website Caravanning4u passed away. I had only been talking with him by email the day before he died.
Eric has helped and assisted us hugely and his death is a shock to us all.
May you rest in peace Eric because God knows you have earned that right.
With our love and thoughts to all your family.

Hello there, this is Alan from the IT department here at Cover4. We’ve been getting a few questions regarding our RSS feed and how to get it working, so here is a guide to RSS and how to get our news direct to your reader.
RSS is a technology designed to make it easy for users to retrieve the latest news from many websites in one location. This could be a desktop application or another website (known as a Syndication Website).
To add our news feed to your RSS reader of choice, visit the home page and click on any subscribe link (including the one at the bottom of this post. This will bring up a page with a list of the news items and an options panel at the top.
Click on the options box at the top that contains ‘Live Bookmarks’, this should display a list of RSS readers (though far from all of them). Select the application or website you use as your RSS reader. If your RSS reader does not appear in the list and is a desktop application, select ‘Choose application…’ and the website will ask you to find the application you use as your RSS reader.
If you use a syndication website (such as Google Reader) that isn’t listed on the menu then you will have to go to your syndication website and log in. Somewhere on the website should be a button saying something along the lines of ‘Add a Subscription’, click this button. Copy and Paste the following URL into the box that appears and it will add our news feed to your reader.
http://news.cover4caravans.co.uk/index.php/feed
Hopefully, that will allow you to receive up to date news from our website.
If you do not currently have a RSS reader but would like to try one, here are a few suggested RSS Readers that are free to use.
Google Reader – Very good clean RSS reader, allows you to select packages of related news feeds to get you started. Has keyboard shortcuts to make accessing your news easier and quicker (e.g. ‘J’ to move down the list, ‘K’ to move up the list)
Bloglines – Another very good RSS reader, has a few features that Google doesn’t have but seems to be missing the keyboard shortcuts.
Both of these site also have applications for the iPhone as well as a mobile version of the website for other phones that support an internet connection.
The advantage of a desktop reader is you can connect briefly at a cafe or other WiFi spot on your laptop to update the news and then read it wherever you want without needing a connection. Google Reader has a ‘Read Offline’ mode that is a little tricky to setup but for a full featured desktop RSS reader, try FeedDemon.
Thank you for your time and good surfing.

I am pleased to announce that Cover4Caravans has agreed a sponsorship deal with the UK Motorhome & Caravan Spring Fair for a 2 year period for us to be the main even sponsor.
This event will run over the weekend of the 28th & 29th March 2009 in Newark at the Newark Showground in Nottinghamshire.
We have agreed to this deal because the event organiser is honest, open and es enthusiastic about the show as are about the Caravan Insurance World.
We will be offering some disocunts and “show specials” and you should watch this space for more information.
You can visit their site at www.ukspringfair.co.uk for more details.

Your static caravan should either be insured for the market value or the recommended retail price at that time, (for new for old cover). New for old cover can apply if your static caravan is within 3 years of manufacture, if your caravan is more than 3 years old, the caravan must be insured at market value price as the static caravan insurance policy will only cover for this.
If this is included in the static caravan sum insured, then yes, the static caravan insurance would cover verandas and decking.
This would also be covered in the static caravan insurance policy, as long as this is included in the static caravan sum insured.
The static caravan insurance would allow for the caravan to be hired out. The insurance will also cover any loss of hiring charges.
The static caravan insurance policy has public liability cover of up to £2,000,000.This can cover risks such as:
Many of us may have spent their caravan holidays on the Yorkshire coast but never think about travelling abroad. Many caravan insurance companies will cover this and for longer than you and I could ever need. One caravan insurance company I found named Cover4 Caravans can cover up to 240 days European cover! This equates to around 8 months and this is definitely more than your average holiday length. The caravan insurance company Cover4 Caravans also do not require it to be taken all in one go, so you can split it up and use it if and when you please.
Many people could be thinking about travelling abroad in their caravan but worry about the complications and whether their caravan insurance would cover them. Almost every caravan insurance company will cover you for this for long periods of time and it is hassle free. Most of the caravan insurance companies do not even require you to notify them when you travel abroad, all you have to do is keep hold of the receipts, in case of any event in which you may need to make a claim. The price of flights may have also put consumers off of holidays abroad but that would be cancelled out if you are travelling in your caravan. Not only will it be cost affective for your holiday in the sun but it would also provide a comfortable living space, with fully equipped kitchens, televisions, shower, toilets and even satellite. This all comes at an affordable price, even when you include your caravan insurance.
