Caravan Insurance makes for ‘happy campers’
A caravan is one of life’s big investments. A ticket to freedom after many years of work and family commitments. For a growing number of Australians, a caravan is a ‘home away from home’. As they set out on many adventures big and small.
Many caravan owners are aged 55 years or older*. As these retirees head off on their dream adventures there is a chance that it could turn into a road trip nightmare with serious financial consequences; if the unexpected occurs. Fire1, theft, collision, accidental damage and storms1 can ruin even the best laid plans and leave you out of pocket.
That‘s why it is important to check whether your caravan is appropriately covered for the many unexpected circumstances, that may come your way.
