With Bank Holiday approaching many people in the UK will be considering a caravan holiday.
Recent research shows that caravanning is quickly reaching popularity levels not seen in the country for decades and is being given an extra injection of cool with a number of high-profile celebrities choosing to spend their holidays this way.
The likes of Kate Moss, Robbie Williams and Jamie Oliver have been spotted enjoying a caravan holiday and the rest of the UK seems to be following suit.
However, Co-operative Insurance (CIS) is warning first-time caravanners to ensure that they have adequate insurance to cover a break of this kind.
“Many people take caravan breaks to escape the pressures of everyday life but it is important that holidaymakers are aware of the potential dangers and keep a watchful eye on their caravan and belongings to ensure that their trip remains stress free,” said David Neave from CIS.
According to the insurance firm, the average caravan claim sits at £1,826, with the most common problem being theft.
This is closely followed by storm damage, a crash, vandalism and accidental damage to contents.
CIS warns carvanners to take precautions such as immobilising the mobile home whenever they stop, fitting an alarm and locking doors and windows.
