    Enjoy your new purchase.  There’s an informative discussion that could give you info in the New to Caravanning & Touring. Title is “We are a bit shocked by insurance prices”. Shop around, ensure you compare like for like & have all your details when contacting brokers just as you would when insuring a car.  Good luck

    Welcome to CT and the open road( well, as open as traffic allows) I have always used the club insurance and found it excellent. It's OK shopping around for the cheapest but w hat are they like if you have a claim. I can tell you from experience that the club insurance is very good.

    Welcome to Club Together Karen and James.  Great to hear from you and best of luck for when you pick up the Pursuit.  Do let us know how it all goes.

    I'd always go with the Caravan Club insurance.  They are slightly more expensive than others, but they appear to be really good when it comes to claiming.  We had our caravan stolen some years back and the Club dealt with the claim efficiently, sensitively and fairly.  We couldn't have expected better.
