Going To A Festival? Experience The Luxury Of A Caravan
It was five years ago, on my annual trip to Leeds Festival that I became a caravan lover. That year I didn't have an early pass and was eager to find a location to camp before there was no space left when the strap on my main rucksack broke. I balanced it on my tent bag and trudged on through the, now liquid, mud. Subsequently this additional weight then broke the strap on my tent bag, leaving me stranded.
Fortunately some friends of mine were nearby in the caravan section and helped me carry my things to their caravan. What luxury! It was only a cheap caravan but when equated with my one-man tent in which I couldn't lie down straight, even without my bag, it was brilliant. How jealous I was of their luxury caravan when I opened my bag to find half of my things broken and damaged by the fall in the mud.
The next year I was naturally in one of those dry, warm caravans and happily watched the other festivalgoers struggle with their bags. Evidently my luck hadn't improved and the caravan flooded. Again my new Top Shop inspired festival wardrobe was destroyed along with most of other caravan.
Thankfully I'd thought to check that contents were included on my caravan insurance. We didn't have to worry about the harm to the caravan and I would even say we enjoyed living in the damp for three days. In the end, it is all part of the festival experience.
Now we have annual caravan holidays abroad, which are ideal for a low cost holiday with friends. I wouldn't stop my caravan holidays for anything and definitely wouldn't risk an uninsured driver hitting us and spoiling our tradition. Since the flood incident I always make sure we have the right insurance cover for whatever country we happen to go to, it's so critical to have the right cover for European travel.
If you've a motor home then you have good taste, and really know how to have a good time. Enjoy your motor caravan and go on holiday. But don't forget that holidays are meant to be stress free; with our less than reliable weather this isn't forever the situation. Get the right cover for your vacation and have fun!
