Static Caravan Insurance

Static caravan insurance quote providers, Towergate Bakers, have published these 5 unusual caravan insurance claims:

1. The earth moved for them

One young amorous couple parked up their caravan on their maiden caravan holiday, and were keen to try out the caravan (if you know what I mean). They unhitched the caravan, and in their enthusiasm to ‘try it out’ they neglected to put on the brake. As they were testing the bed rather vigorously, this caused the caravan to move, and it rolled down the slope they had parked it on, into a stream at the bottom of the hill. Oh dear…. how was it for you?

2. Corny

I like corn-on-the-cob just like the next person, but I’m not an addict. One lady had 50 of them stolen from her caravan. For starters… why did she have so many of them??? And… who on earth would want 50 corn-on-the-cobs. That is one disappointing haul.

3. Lights on, no-one at home

Dim… that’s what it is, certainly for the chap who decided to claim for a lightbulb he broke trying to replace an old one. So, that’s… fill in the claim form… send off the claim form… process the insurance claim… issue the cheque… all for the princely sum of £1.30.

4. The Fire King

Uh..hu..hu. Who would have thought that Elvis, over 30 years after his untimely death, could have been responsible for the demise of a caravan? Well, as it happens one devotee decided to build a shrine to the jump-suited one in his caravan. One evening after a bit too much of the booze he passed out, leaving the candles on his shrine burning. The owner is now in heartbreak hotel after the caravan caught fire and was destroyed. Luckily a neighbour noticed the fire and dragged the devotee from the caravan without any harm coming to him.

5. I am from Lithuania, and I come in peace

One spring a couple decided it was time for a spot of spring cleaning to their caravan, which had been parked up on the drive through the long, dark winter. Imagine their surprise when they found that it had been completely trashed by a Lithuanian immigrant who had been squatting in it the whole winter!

Being kind types, they didn’t press charges, on condition he went to a hostel. The police escorted the fella there, but before you could say ‘a bottle of vodka and two pigs ears please’ he was back again in the caravan. This time understandably the couple weren’t so generous, and the chap got his collar felt.

What a wonderfully strange world we live in.
