That would be great thanks ...you can post it on just now if you like as its my mums address anyway and ive other mail going there so it would be there on my return
I'm afraid that's not the case with most insurers as you're usually only allowed to leave it for a couple of days 'unattended' when away from home (with the exception of being in a garage for repair etc). She needs to contact her insurers and ask them, if they are willing to let her do it she may find she has to pay them an extra premium to cover the period she's away.
For your car what about if you were going on holiday for 6 weeks say and flying and leave your car at the Airport, sure you would be covered then but I do not think cars have any restrictions? Not sure about leaving it abroad though so maybe a different kettle of fish and worth checking with your insurer. I know our insurer says anything over a couple of days you have to let them know.
Sorry I should have said "away from home abroad", however saying that if you insure your car and say it is normally left at home overnight it may still be an issue ... it's not something I've every done with my car so have never checked it.
Thats for her van insurance. But at €140 storage fee I'm pretty sure the carparks insurance must cover losses or damage.
No one on the continent who could look after it for her?
That's fine, just PM me the address.
but Janie said if anyone is going it's her, 
well that's not going to happen 
.......... me left with our demanding dog.

Never assume anything ... she needs to ask them to be sure.
It hopefully will be fine but the only way she'll find out for sure is if something happens to it whilst it's no in her 'care' ... the other thing is that if the company find out later once she's back with the camper it may actually void her policy as she hasn't informed them ... I would never take the risk with making assumptions about insurance.
By sorning the MH you may 'not' have been covered by your insurance though as you're only 'legally' allowed to do that when it's back in the UK so not maintaining the requirement for it to be 'road legal' when away from home (or whatever the wording is), I believe a lot of people living in Eurpe 'under the radar' have done this but it's not a risk I'd take.
Look guys no disrespect but i mentioned to her weeks ago to speak to her insurance company and she hasn't and isn't.i learned a long time ago to mind my own business when it comes to women
. I mentioned it ...i mentioned it again ...im not doing it a 3rd time she's a grown woman and not my responsibility. I said to her about following me in to Bulgaria etc she doesn't want to ... She also doesn't want to drive home in snowy conditions etc and in late January thst doesn't leave her many options so shes booked her flight etc and has got quotes for parking the van ...they vary from €70 to €140 . As far as im aware she has zero intention of speaking to her insurance company.
Well said.Look guys no disrespect but i mentioned to her weeks ago to speak to her insurance company and she hasn't and isn't.i learned a long time ago to mind my own business when it comes to women
She bumped that van 3 times last year and the amount of water and other liquids etc she spills in it and the state its always in i wouldn't be able to sleep at night whereas she doesn't bat an eye ....i can only assume she doesn't care as much as most folk do ....its not my place to interfere. She will do what she needs to do i guess .
But i would have assumed if i paid for secure parking/storage that it would be secure so i think she'll most likely be fine ....and she will fly back out sometime in late march and drive home in better weather.
I've enough to concern myself with planning my own route and doing what i need to do regarding covid tests and border crossings etc .
I met a couple last year in a uk registered van that came over to europe with it 8 years ago and it hasn't been back since ...dont ask me how they were doing it but they weren't the slightest bit concerned about it.
She's gutsy thats for sure and quite stubborn too. Im not sure if its a case of she doesn't care or just isn't aware half the time but either way she does what she wants to do and she's survived this long. Yes i offer my opinion here and there and advise if i can but ultimately its her life eh ....She sure is a one off lady
Nothing seems to faze her.
Well impressed.
Okay, we didn't know that .... it's up to her, you can only offer advice so many times and then have to let them get on with it, you can't help some people.
She's found a secure place to store it already.
