A simple question. As the caravan club no longer offer caravan insurance as such what suggestions for a new insurer that does.

Haven’t read anything on this thread that would convince me to cancel my policy.  No response required

Not intending that any body should be scared Just finding ideas for an Insurer which I have. It is unlikely to present a problem OP but having had to fight for what in today's money was North of £5K I would sooner let an ombudsman handle any possible dispute. 

I then went on to explain why

For Caravans they (LV) are regulated by Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) about whom I know little.

For Cars regulated by Financial Ombudsman

Like all financial product provides they are also regulated by FCA

Recognise this

I’m considering cancelling my cc insurance and looking elsewhere to give me a comfort feeling.  I’d rather lose a few quid cancellation fee rather then end up potentially losing my house and seeking bankruptcy.

I have ask Ro to get the Insurance Champion, remember them, to enter into this discussion 🐷🐖🐖 perhaps they will fly

I am sure that they would give a carefully crafted statement. Never rely on a salesman to tell you how good his product is I am sure that they would not lie but would chose to omit any detail that might put perspective purchasers off. A bit like caravan salesmen

I have been insured with them for over 30 years had 2 claims no problem. One was when I got home from a week away the side of the caravan had about 20 small dents in the side. I had no idea how they came to be there. They paid no problem even though I couldn’t explain.

According to Wikipedia: Prudential regulation is a type of financial regulation that requires financial firms to control risks and hold adequate capital as defined by capital requirements, liquidity requirements, by the imposition of concentration risk (or large exposures) limits, and by related reporting and public disclosure requirements ...

From the link below it seems that there role with insurance is principally to ensure that a firm maintains sufficient assets to meet claims. Presumably CMC is covered by their Group insurance as I don't think that they list PRA as a regulator

Yes I remember. I’ve had time to consider and I’ve changed my mind.  Once dozens of club members tell us their claims haven’t been paid then I reserve the right to change my mind again
