In the early hours of 11th November, we had our 4 month old, top of the range twin axle caravan stolen by a gang of five very “professional” thieves carrying massive crow bars. They all wore balaclavas, and totally ignored the cctv cameras dotted around the storage site. They smashed through electric barriers, and gemmied off wheel and hitch locks, on both ours, and another similar nearly new caravan, removing the alarm and tracker boxes leaving them on the ground. They then drove off into the night using two vans with no number plates.  The police followed up, reviewed the cctv footage and declared there was nothing further they could do. Luckily we were insured new for old with the Caravan Clubs insurers, and their treatment of us and our claim has been absolutely first class. Their Loss Adjuster was very supportive, and gave us complete confidence. As a result, four weeks and three days from the day of the theft, payment was made in full,and we have our replacement 2020 model arriving in January. I could not recommend the CAMC insurance highly enough, they were absolutely magnificent.

You may well be correct, however i think there will still be plenty of people out there that have bought CC cover thinking they have bought insurance. No evidence just an opinion.

The OP had their 4 month old van stolen in November and if I recall correctly I got my caravan cover on May 8th so it seems likely they also had cover.  Could be wrong of course 

PS just checked my emails and the heading spells it out as Caravan Cover

Indeed as this was taken out in 2018 it will be cover.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

As long as your unswerving faith in the "club" is enough for you all well and good.  However  I  like many here have something standing in the drive that is the third most expensive item I have bought in my my life and  I am afraid that insuring it with an organization that "may" cover its repair or replacement isn't  good enough. The fact that in this case it behaved like a "proper" insurance does not overcome my reservations or make me question my decision to  pay extra to get proper insurance.

irrespective of how much you pay for your insurance or the guarantees given by the said insurance, the "proof of the pudding is in the eating" do hope you are not disappointed with your choice if it should come to the eating, or you might be eating humble pie , happy christmaslaughing

In my case it is not a matter of trust. I think that what CMC offers is very good but I wish to have regulated insurance.
