Press Release Summary: It is important for the caravan owners before they embark on
a tour that they get their caravan insured. This should be done to avoid any
monetary losses that may incur on theft or disappearance of the caravan.

Press Release Body: To prepare for the touring season ahead, there will be many
people who must be getting ready to hit the roads in their caravans. However, there
is a warning from caravan insurance company AA that such motorists should get their
caravans insured lest they suffer any losses in the future.

It is important to ensure that your caravan is sufficiently secure so that there are
no heavy losses in case of any mishap. Those tourists who tour the midland region
have a higher risk of facing such problems since cases have been reported in the
past. People who want to go in for a summer vacation can also take up a cheap loan
at the last minute so that they can go in for another travel option or get a new
caravan, in case thieves disrupt their vacation plans.

AA caravan insurance has put forth a warning; especially for those in the "Caravan
Bermuda Triangle" that they should take care that their caravan is fully ensured and
up to date. Even if their van is taken, they will still not be affected by the
monetary losses which are incurred.

Head of AA Caravan Insurance, Simon Douglas says, "there is a sharp increase in
caravanning as an activity and more caravans are being stolen to order in large
numbers. Especially the larger, luxury twin-axle models are at a higher risk. Out of
the caravans that disappear, three quarters are never recovered."

Caravans of high values are being stolen by organized criminal gangs. These gangs
take advantage of the vulnerabilities of the motorists and find their chance to make
these thefts. Opportunities like the time when the motorists are about to leave and
are busy in last minute chores, the caravan may be stolen. Also, incidents of theft
have come to light from the motorway services. Also, storage sites are also a great
spot for the thieves where organized thefts take place and costly caravans are
stolen.

The household budget of the caravan owners can be affected badly. If such a pressure
on the caravan owner comes, then it may be possible that he is not able to meet his
other commitments like repayment of personal loans, credit cards, mortgage costs,
etc. When there are security devices available, these can be employed so that there
is no risk to the caravan. These devices include clamps, chassis locks, hitch locks,
etc which may enhance the security of a mobile home. The minimum requirement wanted
to get the caravan insured is the presence of the wheel clamp. If the caravan owner
finds these devices not very cheap, a low rate personal loan can be taken up so that
there is no burden as well. Also, this loan will help in paying for the insurance
policy as well so that the caravans have a complete cover while on the move.

More than the direct expenses, there are other expenses now which have increased to
high levels. The cost of fuel has increased so much which has caused a burden for
the motorists. Those people who wish to go on a holiday may have to bear the high
costs of motoring now and may also discourage them. However, one can surely make use
of a personal loan so that this vacation break can only be enjoyed.
