The best insurer for caravans is CIL www.cilinsurance.com.au/ Followed by National Roads Associations (NRMA, RACV RACQ) many Nomads use Ken Tame and Shannon's as well.
All have differing features and advantages - Your requirements may differ for some reason as may your risk/s.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for caravan insurance for a new Network RV 22ft Terrain Tuff van.
Does not have to be the cheapest but a good company to deal with if you have issues.

Hi Kdazz

I have used CIL for seven years now and have had three claims and never had a problem with their service.

They have a low excess and have good inclusions in their policies ,they might not be the cheapest but you pay for what you get.

Cheers

Thanks very much gentlemen, I will follow up on CIL.

kdazz, just informing you that Ken Tame is an Agent for The Hollard Insurance Company (good insurer) & Shannons & CIL are part of the Suncorp Group of Companies (another good insurer). Always ask questions, and ALWAYS read your Product Disclosure Statement (previously known as the Insurance Policy) to ensure you have the cover that is important to you. In many cases, the difference in premiums can be directly related to the different risks covered. One example I came across one year was that a competitive premium from a well known insurer did not cover any Annexe or Awning, and we both know how susceptible to damage they are in any storm involving wind.

Currently with Elders, new renewal today for an extra $15 on last year. Our Elders agent is a local and certainly looks after claims

Elders refused cover on my yet to be purchased caravan, because it was valued at Over $80k.

That was the excuse they gave me, as did two other companies that are just just agents for a bigger insurance provider.

C.I.L were straight down the line, even though the quote to insure my $115k Caravan was $1800

We use APIA for Van, Boat and Car, made 3 claims .... new back end on a Mitsubishi Challenger, dented/gouged passenger door, and one ripped awning on our van that was already old and fraying. No problems at all, fixed promptly and no fuss, loan car included.
