he buzz word this summer is
staycation - holidaying within
the UK instead of going abroad.
In recent years, a growing
number of Brits have turned to camping
and caravanning - either for their main
holiday or for something to indulge in
throughout the year on weekend breaks.
Increased costs of airline travel,
safety concerns about certain world
destinations and exchange-rate
ﬂuctuations have all led people
to buy a caravan, tent or motorhome
and travel these British isles instead.
However, touring units are only half
the story - lots of holidaymakers are
now coming round to the idea of
renting a static mobile home in one
of the UK's many caravan parks.
Britain boasts a range of beautiful
locations - from bustling seaside towns
to the remote, tranquil countryside,
all offering great facilities.

Risk assessment

Free-and-easy outdoor leisure holidays
and insurance may not seem to belong
in the same sentence. However, Shield
Total Insurance knows they are essential
bedfellows. Nobody can relax and
enjoy themselves if they're worrying
about possible theft or breakdowns, and
only the right insurance cover can
provide the necessary peace of mind.
Shield is an expert in knowing the
risks you may encounter and in making
sure you have a policy tailored to suit
your particular requirements, no matter
what sort of recreational unit you own,
or how and where you intend to use it.
Firstly, where do you keep your
caravan or motorhome when it's not
in use? How often do you or your family
and friends use it? How much is it worth
- including all the kit you take with you?
It is important that your insurance
provider considers all of these factors in

order to protect you from scenarios such
as accident, theft, weather damage, broken
windscreens/windows and any number
of other hazards that you could face.
Then again, not every mobile owner
is planning a staycation - at least not
all the time, and for those adventurers,
it would be a shame to restrict usage to
the UK only. For that reason coverage
can be provided for most of Europe
- and also, should you want to share
your caravan with friends and family,
they can be included on your policy, too.

Happy campers

If the budget won't stretch to a caravan
or motorhome, then your best
alternative for enjoying the outdoor
leisure lifestyle will come from a tent.
These are a far cry from the heavy
canvas gear of the past with more poles
than you know what to do with. These
days, tents often have the frame on the
outside and there's been a real surge in
the popularity of inﬂatable models too.
So campers are going to need special
insurance to protect the tent being
stolen, destroyed, blown away, or even
trampled by cows from a neighbouring
ﬁeld. But camping insurance can extend
far beyond the frame and canvas. Use
it to protect your belongings from loss,
damage or theft and to safeguard your
