but you aren't supposed to leave the handbrake on when it's in storage as it can sieze. They should have chocked the wheels and released the handbrake (unless it was being stored on a significant slope; in which case the ground is not fit for the purpose of storing caravans)
------------- Doing whatever the rice krispies tell me to.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the first thing their solicitors will probably be asking is for a service record. If you are unable to produce this then you may have hassles as this may show that their is a good possibility that the hand brake failed.
However by the same token as they put it in storage, they should be responsible for ensuring that the caravan was secured with wheel chocks etc. Did you give them permission to put it in storage?
BTW the general advice is not to leave the handbrake when the caravans is in storage due to it seizing therefore the wheels should be chocked and the steadies lowered. If they had lowered the steadies the caravan probably would not have moved, handbrake or not.
Hopefully with the new caravan, you will get it serviced and insured as soon as possible as things could have been a lot more serious if someone had been injured or even killed.
No, but i got some advice from the caravan club. They say that they caravan site is liable. Just have to wait to hear what their insurance people say. Thanks for your input
