Caravan Club Non Insurance Policy

and add me to that as well.

I’m starting to find your inferences, which are completely of your own imagining, rather impolite, Easy. I suggest you cease making such comments.

I would say not ET, there has much mis-information (if I had poor manners I might even say downright untruths) and fear factoring.

Not on my part. I simply gave the reasons why I would no longer be using CMC cover. Some also had concerns about unregulated insurance and some indicated whu that concerned them and affected their choices. 

I suggest you cease making such comments.

Gladly. 

But someone with manners might have apologised for the mistake?

Indeed they might if they felt that it was an apology that was meant.

Hi everyone, A polite reminder to please keep conversation polite and on topic at all times. Many thanks. 

Having caused (I feel) a bit of controversy, I think I ought to explain my thinking in staying with CAMC Cover.

Over 25 years ago, we experienced an horrendous situation when, on our yacht, in the Med, we were hit by 100mph winds and a lightening strike - wiping out £20k's worth (how much now?)  of electronics and electricals.  We nearly lost our lives. We were insured by a company called Haven Knox-Johnston - owned by Chris, brother of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston.

I was in shock because of the impact of the storm when I rang the insurers - and by coincidence, Chris K-J answered the phone.  His words to me - and I will never forget them - were - "Go back to the boat - wait for us - we will sort it out - that's what insurance company's are for".

An assessor was flown out from France the following day and repairs authorised and everything followed from there - no hassle - no arguments - just everything taken care of.  To put it in simple terms, I felt safe.

That is now the standard by which I judge any insurer.

By comparison, a vehicle claim, many years later - using a well known high street brand presented me with nothing but hassle and aggravation simply because I insisted on using the only authorised VW repairer in our area, rather than their nominated company.

Devitt's have demonstrated a similar attitude to Haven in that they have been supportive of the insured rather then protecting some other financial interest and it is this reputation for claims settlement that swayed me to insure with CAMC in the first place.  It is also the reason why I insure our cars with another 'agricultural' insurer - regardless of whether or not they are the cheapest.

Having caused (I feel) a bit of controversy, I think I ought to explain my thinking in staying with CAMC Cover.

Cannot see why your post should be seen as controversial any more than mine R&R. As I said there were two trains of thought.

I don't think you did at all, you merely posted your positive experience with the club's cover, and actually a real one rather than based on pure speculation.

You didn’t cause any controversy R&R, for me you just reinforced my decision to remain with the club.  If others feel differently then that’s there affair.  

I did wobble at one time but that was probably due to reading too much into some other posts when in fact there was no evidence that the club would default 

+ 1 to both of the above.
