What is a floatation device?
Floatation devices are designed to keep your static caravan afloat and unharmed, above any floodwaters. They are securely attached to your static caravan, which should enable it to float freely above the ground in the event of flood.
What is new for old cover?
Should your static be damaged beyond economic repair, new for old cover means that we will replace your caravan with the most recent new model (or equivalent). To ensure new for old cover applies, you must insure your static caravan and contents at the value it would cost to replace with new (of equivalent specification), and not its current value.
Is it a legal requirement that I insure my static caravan?
Whilst it is not a legal requirement, many sites will insist on insurance that provides liability cover in the event of a claim. They may need to see proof of this for their records. Some sites will also charge a fee for checking your insurance to ensure it meets individual site requirements.
Can a site charge me for them to look at my insurance documents?
Many sites need proof of insurance proof for their records and sometimes they will charge to check it meets their criteria. The fee applicable varies from site to site so it does pay to check the small print of your agreement first.
Can I live in my caravan all year round?
To live in a static on a 12 month basis, your site will need to be a residential site with you registered on the electoral role and paying council tax at that address. If your site is a holiday site, you will normally only be allowed to live there between 9-11 months of the year. You will also need to check with your insurance provider regarding their stipulations for cover in these instances.
