Hi, I am brand new to caravaning and I am strugglilng to find a good ballance between storage and insurance. 

The cheapest insurance I can find is £111 per year but requires a Hitch Lock and Wheel Clamp (I have both), but most storage locations are not keep on allowing you to use a wheel clamp for a number of reasons, that seem reasonable. They have to put the caravan away and get it out and if there is a fire they can not move your caravan.

But Caravan insurance that does not require a wheel clamp such as Caravan Club insurance is about £220 per year, more than twice the price and offers a lot of options that I don't need such as European Cover.

What Insurance and storage options are most popular?

You will find cover for things temporarily removed from the house should be covered by your household policy but items used only in it will not be covered. Hope this helps work outwhat you need for contents.

Accesories like the Aquaroll are just that and need to be covered in with the main sum insured or on some policies as a seperate item under that heading.

Basically you get what you pay for with insurance so any that look too cheap usually are and should be avoided. Any policy that cannot show Defacto 5 stars is going to be short on cover as that is the accepted standard for policies.
