Not compulsory, but sensible!
Although caravan insurance is not compulsory, it is often advisable. Damage to your own caravan is not insured and has to be paid for by yourself. Especially when you own a new or expensive caravan, it is wise to take a look at caravan insurance, even though it is not obligatory. The repair costs for damage to a caravan can be quite high. If you are still in doubt whether you should get caravan insurance or not, you can also take a good look at your caravan. If you have an older, second-hand caravan that you may have bought for not too much money, caravan insurance is usually not necessary. However, if you have a brand new or expensive caravan, caravan insurance might be a good idea as the repair costs are likely to be high.
