Speaking to lots of people today, giving quotes and listening to their stories of their caravanning exploits.

It amazes me how many people still keep their caravan at home. I never would, simply because it makes it very obvious when you’ve gone away. It’s a bit like sticking a big ‘burgle me please’ sign in your front garden.

How many people know about secure storage though? It’s not very well publicised. I spoke to a couple from Skegness who didn’t know that one of the best CaSSOA Gold rated compounds in the country was only 3 miles from their house!

Keeping your caravan in an approved secure storage location could save you 25% on the cost of your caravan insurance. Check out www.cassoa.co.uk for a full list of suitable sites. You probably don’t realise this but our stats show that you are about 18 times more likely to have your caravan stolen from home than from a secure storage facility. And with secure storage costing approx £1.50 to £3.00 per day, it’s a wise move.
