- Since 2009 with motorhomes several caravans then tents before that.
Ralph has a lock up for his work plant and equipment. It's situated at a caravan storage place near Wrenthorpe , where we live.
We don't store our Motorhome there , we don't feel it's as secure as it should be.
Anyways , the other day he called up there to get a mini digger , for a job he was doing.
Early that morning a fire had started in a caravan and quickly , and completely burnt out 5 others. It melted 4 others and the whole rear of a Motorhome. The high winds hadn't helped the matter.
It turns out after investigation they think it was wiring in the first one to go up. Probably by a mouse chewing wires , or electrical fault. These were all new or nearly new. Not old cronky things.
One of them a 15 k caravan wasn't insured. But regularly taken out on trips by its owners.
I thought they'd have to be insured , like cars. I know we always had our caravans in the past , insured and serviced.
It makes you think , when in storage , they are parked up quite close to each other.
