If you’re an ancient insurance man like me, going grey and still carrying a liking for ancient early 70’s bands like soft machine and caravan, then you probably reckon that you’ve seen the last of your summer music festivals with nights spent cramped under the canvas of a tent and waking up with aches and cramps in places you didn’t know existed! But, another way to go is to take your motorhome (or somebody else’s) along to the festival and delight in the music and the atmosphere without the nights spent on the floor under canvas.
Many people have found that the motorhome route is the one to take if you want the best of both worlds. You get all the atmosphere of the festival with the added bonus of a shower and a cup of tea in the mornings, there’s no queue for the loo and the bed is guaranteed to be dry and warm, or at least it will be as long as you don’t leave the sunroof open in a downpour!
Many motorhome owners who aren’t into music festivals and the like have been known to rent out their motorhomes to people who are so that they get some money from their dormant motorhome, and someone else gets to delight in a music festival in comfort. But, while this is perfectly legal, most people don’t realise that if something was to happen to their motorhome during the event, it would not be covered under a standard motorhome insurance policy.
One of my more distinct memories from last year’s Glastonbury festival was that of a couple happily leaving their motorhome after having had breakfast under the awning, only to return that night to find that one of Glastonbury’s well-known monsoons had place so much weight on the awning that all the poles were bent and broken causing the awning to be ruined. This must’ve been around 1000’s worth of hurt which would have been completely uninsured if they had hired the motorhome without letting the insurance company know.
If you reckon you might like to take your motorhome to Glastonbury or a similar festival, or that you might let someone else take it, it is well worth getting it covered for the trip as you really don’t know what might happen.
Best start by letting your friends have it first if you’re not going yourself, especially if you have standard insurance cover. Your local insurance broker can advise you about cover if need be but adding friends or family to an existing insurance policy is certainly the best way to go. This way you can watch the festival from the right comfort of your front room safe in the knowledge that the motorhome that is your pride and joy is being properly looked after and if not, at least you know you have the right insurance. Now where is that ancient Caravan t-shirt?
