Tips and advice - Motorhome insurance

Towergate Bakers have years of experience insuring motorhomes and so we are well placed to advise on the simple things you can do to reduce the risk of a claim in the first place.

Some helpful tips

• Motorhomes are highly attractive to thieves. To help to ensure it's not your motorhome they take, use a wheel clamp at all times, when parked. If you can afford it, an alarm and/or tracking device will also make the thief's life much harder.
• Never leave expensive items on view and always lock your doors and windows when you are not in your motorhome or have retired for the night.
• If you are not planning to use your motorhome for a long time, take home all valuable items. Also, if possible, remove the upholstery, which is often targeted by thieves.
• Never leave your ignition keys in the motorhome.
• Consider carefully where you store your motorhome. Secure storage sites, especially CASSOA-approved facilities, are highly effective in preventing motorhome theft.
• If you have a generator, why not chain it to the motorhome chassis.
• If you haven't used your motorhome for a while, carefully check the condition of your tyres before taking it on the road. Tyres can degrade if left standing for lengthy periods of time and this could increase the risk of a blow-out.
