Caravan Insurance

Caravan insurance is comprehensive insurance that covers your trailer or caravan. Caravan and Trailer Cover also cover trailers, camper trailers, animal floats and unregistered on-site caravans.

For getting away on the weekends or summer holidays, your caravan or trailer is a great way to experience the great outdoors or provide long and short term accommodation.  Comprehensive cover is a must for your touring or on-site caravan experience in Australia.

Wilkins Tourist Maps have been around for awhile and you can now download a selection of their maps (in Adobe PDF format) from their Map Downloads area. I found the Great Ocean Road "booklet" (1.1Mb) most useful, as it has been designed for online use with plenty of clickable images and links. The site has more than just maps - such as useful information for major tourist regions.

U-TOW Caravan Hire - has caravan storage in south-east Melbourne.

About Seniors is for senior citizens, retirees, those about to retire, veterans, pensioners and carers, who will find a comprehensive list of information and links extremely valuable. The Travel link is where you will find touring and accommodation information.

This is a free sales plug for a Melbourne company that I highly recommend for canvas products for your caravan, such as awnings, annexes, fly-ends, etc. The owner, Fred, is friendly and goes out of his way to be helpful. His prices are the best, too! Custom Canvas - ph: 03 5964 8485
