Press Release Summary: It is important for the caravan owners before they embark on a tour that they get their caravan insured. This should be done to avoid any monetary losses that may incur on theft or disappearance of the caravan.
Press Release Body: To prepare for the touring season ahead, there will be many people who must be getting ready to hit the roads in their caravans. However, there is a warning from caravan insurance company AA that such motorists should get their caravans insured lest they suffer any losses in the future.
It is important to ensure that your caravan is sufficiently secure so that there are no heavy losses in case of any mishap. Those tourists who tour the midland region have a higher risk of facing such problems since cases have been reported in the past. People who want to go in for a summer vacation can also take up a cheap loan at the last minute so that they can go in for another travel option or get a new caravan, in case thieves disrupt their vacation plans.
AA caravan insurance has put forth a warning; especially for those in the "Caravan Bermuda Triangle" that they should take care that their caravan is fully ensured and up to date. Even if their van is taken, they will still not be affected by the monetary losses which are incurred.
Head of AA Caravan Insurance, Simon Douglas says, "there is a sharp increase in caravanning as an activity and more caravans are being stolen to order in large numbers. Especially the larger, luxury twin-axle models are at a higher risk. Out of the caravans that disappear, three quarters are never recovered."
Caravans of high values are being stolen by organized criminal gangs. These gangs take advantage of the vulnerabilities of the motorists and find their chance to make these thefts. Opportunities like the time when the motorists are about to leave and are busy in last minute chores, the caravan may be stolen. Also, incidents of theft have come to light from the motorway services. Also, storage sites are also a great spot for the thieves where organized thefts take place and costly caravans are stolen.
The household budget of the caravan owners can be affected badly. If such a pressure on the caravan owner comes, then it may be possible that he is not able to meet his other commitments like repayment of personal loans, credit cards, mortgage costs, etc. When there are security devices available, these can be employed so that there is no risk to the caravan. These devices include clamps, chassis locks, hitch locks, etc which may enhance the security of a mobile home. The minimum requirement wanted to get the caravan insured is the presence of the wheel clamp. If the caravan owner finds these devices not very cheap, a low rate personal loan can be taken up so that there is no burden as well. Also, this loan will help in paying for the insurance policy as well so that the caravans have a complete cover while on the move.
More than the direct expenses, there are other expenses now which have increased to high levels. The cost of fuel has increased so much which has caused a burden for the motorists. Those people who wish to go on a holiday may have to bear the high costs of motoring now and may also discourage them. However, one can surely make use of a personal loan so that this vacation break can only be enjoyed.
