Hi Yes The Park In Newton Abbot Here Our Van Was Stolen Did Start With A ( R ). And This Is A Message For All Caravan and Motor Home Owners That Use Storage Compounds , Make Sure Your Insurance Company Requirements ie wheel Locks AND Alarm Are Met When you Leave Your Van For More Than 30 Minutes By Your Storage Company . And If There Is Any Difference of Opinion With Your Storage Management, Contact and inform your Insurance Company . If you Don't your insurance May Not be Valid ,ie Not covered .Regardless of any Reasons your storage give make that call . Because it Costs Me Over £45,000,00 in lose . and we are still Trying to Recuperate our loss , and we can Honestly say you Don't Receive any Assistance From Police Or Insurance Company, Your On Your Own .



After all this advice, how did you come unstuck, to sustain the loss? Or is it hindsight now?

There was a contract formed when you paid the site owner money to store your caravan safely. As the storage area was vulnerable you may be able to claim off the storage owner, but get legal advice first.

Are you saying the site moved and stored your van, and didnt fit a wheel lock it was supposed to?

It appears to read(inbetween all the caps)that as part of the storeage sites license they cannot have vans stored with wheel locks on them. Could be wrong.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

On re-reading, i think you are interpreting correctly.

So, if thats the case; and the insurers require the use of locks, why would anyone use the yard if its in contravention of the insurance.
