While many people in the UK choose to make use of a storage centre during the winter months, storing your caravan on your driveway is still a widespread option.
This may be the cheaper option, saving around £300 per year compared with storage, but it carries with it several risks.
For starters, you caravan can be stolen more easily, and when the driveway is empty thieves will know that your house is likely to be unoccupied.
With all this in mind, the caravan insurance specialists over at Towergate Insurance have come up with some top tips for protecting your caravan when it’s parked up on your driveway.
The guide includes hints and tips for caravanners of all budgets, from clever tricks that don’t cost you a penny, right through to more extreme solutions like installing electric gates and CCTV.
To take a look at the full list, read Towergate’s original article: Security options for storing your caravan at home.
