Caravan insurance when with dealer for work

I once  had to deal with Fire damage to several cars on the forecourt of a motor trader, some of the cars being customers cars. It was caused by a Third Party losing control of his car and crashing into one of the cars on the forecourt setting fire to both cars and some minor damage occuring to other adjacent vehicles.

Not the fault of the motor trader. All dealt with amicably in the end especially as his own staff put out the fires quickly themselves.

Had a fire once caused by an errant firework. Stuff happens.

Maybe a question for the clubs legal team?

I'd certainly be concerned about signing something like that. Hopefully nothing will happen but if it does added hassle is unnecessary.

It is difficult (and risky) to offer views on the effect of a contract if you haven't seen it however it is not completely true to say "that you cannot sign away your legal rights" albeit some rights for example regarding personal injury cannot be signed away. LLM seems to imply that a dealer can be liable without negligence. LLM may be just that (although there is no full stop) but at best he has oversimplified things. Furthermore Insurance stands behind you not in front of you,  in other words the Dealer  may have cover but they wont pay the dealer is not legally liable. 

My motorhome insurance requires the insurers to be informed if the vehicle is away from its normal storage location for more than 48 hours and that includes leaving it with a repairer. I recently left the vehicle for bodywork.  The insurers confirmed that the vehicle WAS covered but NOT the contents. Obviously if damage to the vehicle does occur whilst in the dealers possession the circumstances may point to dealer liability but not automatically. Personally I would remove as far as practicable all personal possessions especially valuables such as a TV. A insurance claim will always cost you money excess plus loadings. 

Going to court is expensive and therefore largely impracticable unless big sums are involved so prevention is the best strategy. 

When my car is serviced I always just delete the bit on the form limiting the dealers liability and the dealer has so far always accepted it even though he may think I am an eccentric or even a lunatic.
