Free motorhome dimensions sticker

[CaravanGuard]

Dear all,

Caravan Guard insurance have seen an increasing number of accidents involving motorhome roof damage caused by low barriers / bridges / car parks etc We believe there are a number of things which are causing this: the 'car-like' drive of newer motorhomes, their increasing size, sat-navs sending motorhomers down unsuitable roads, and converting between the different units of measurement (i.e. imperial and metric) when travelling around eruope.

In response to this growing problem Caravan Guard have produced some free stickers which can be placed on your fold down sun visor and filled in with your motorhomes height, width and length in both imperial and metric units.

You can get a sticker sent out to you completely free of charge, and with free postage here: www.caravanguard.co.uk/motorhomesticker


Best regards,

Caravan Guard Ltd

I guess that is one way to farm Insurance renewal dates along with all the relevent information. I suggest as you are a trade member that you contact Jim to get the relevent monica under your name - Trade Member. Link is up on the top menu bar.

I agree just an invitation to be bombarded with junk mail:Sad:

Don't knock em lads I thought it was a very well thought out and aimed marketing strategy. you dont have to take up their offeroh:
It looks like they have taken the time to read the odd post or two and you never know they might even take up some of Jims Bargain price add space :thumb:
Now all they have to do is sort me out some good Bargain price Insurance for an RV, and if they really want to win the hearts of members come up with some Full timing cover too

I emailed Jim to ask if we could post this offer and he was happy with it as we are not selling the sticker, and are not advertising our products.

It is a free and voluntary offer of an item which could help many motorhomers avoid damage.

Another way is to make your own up.

Simply measure the dimensions of your mh and print them. You can make it look even more professional by using various graphics on your pc such as bold red circles and inserting the max measurement.

Bonus to this of course is less junk mail coming through your door!

Make your own stickers and SAVE THE PLANET!!

Can't believe people want a sticker to remind them of these basic measurements ;but if your memory is that badoh:

stick one of these on the windscreen (you can download these from the web)

As far as I am aware; If your vehicle is 3m (9' 10" high or more then its a legal requirement that you have a sticker and that the figures on that sticker have to be at least 3 inches high!

 

[Diabalo]

Surely this aid is beneficial, I have my own printed out in FT and Mtrs.
As it has been said why knock someone for giving something away. As far as I can see no one is being forced to apply for them.

You could be right the image was just an example, and would imagine most motorhomes are below your 3m high legal limet.

Is this a legal requirement just for HGV's , When i was looking at purchasing a motorhome, and i did look at a lot and to be honest never seen such a sticker.

IMHO if you don't know your vehical height then you shouldn't be on the road.

I have owned 4 M/H's, all different heights, & I'm old so I don't trust much to memory. oh:
I made my own sticker when I bought my M/H (in meters & feet) I may not refer to it often, but I would rather check it than open a new roof vent.

Dose it realy matter if it's a requirement or not? If it helps one member it is worth it. See a recent post by 'Teasy' on how close they came to a disaster.

 

[Road Runner]

I am happy to get a free sticker.

Generally phone around each year for best quote anyway so really doesn't hurt does it?

More trade members the better IMHO

Yep, me too - and it includes length, width, fuel capacity, and water and waste capacities, (just as a reminder about payload more than anything else ) but it's not in pretty blue colour just a credit card sized laminated white card (bo-o-o-o-o-oring )

If you don't trust your memory then you have done the sensible thing and made your own sticker.

As for does it matter if its a legal requirment or not, i dissagree if it is a legal requirement as Jim say's then members with motorhomes in access of 3M would be liable if they did not display a sticker 3" high:Sad:

Maybe caravan guard need to review their sticker

It is the law

Of course most people are going to remember the height of their vehicle, but I am sure many of us have had to stop and think for a second or two at a height barrier, especially in a new vehicle so a reminder is a good idea. I am sure that it is not the law because of those of us with bad memories, rather its for those HGV drivers that are in a different vehicle every day.

Fact is most lutons are over 10 feet so we should all have the sticker. Me I am 14ft and 16 when I forget to lower the TV Ariel

Sorry, misunderstanding. I meant even if it's not a legal requirement just do it, you know it makes sense.

 

[sinbad1]

I know what your saying, most of the motorhomes excluding luton and rv's and alike are around the 2.8m - 3.0m not difficult to remember, mines 2.95m to be honest i don't think i'll forget that ;but as you say doesn't harm to have a reminder.

[tofo]

e mails go to the the alternative e mail address and computer

Never look a gift horse...?

if you think they are going to bombard you with junk mail, don;t get one, but it could be they are genuinely offering help on something.

Lighten up!

 

[gazznsam]

if anyones at the stratford show, just come and see us (in the kampenwagen) and i'll make you up a height, length and width sticker on my vinyl cutter,

have got the primary colours, so can colour co-ordinate it to your van

my van is about 2.85 meters high, but i use 3 meters as my height to be on the safe side, tho i did once go under a 2.8 meter tall bridge, but had sam looking out the roof window to make sure we'd fit,

 

[madbluemad]

Iv'e forgotten how tall my mh is and how wide . Its as has been said, your merrily driving along a country road, turn a bend and woudnt you know it there's a hight restriction: "HAZARD", a moment of panick (more worried about the trip back in reverse) and then a dive into the glove and come out with a sheet o paper height, width, length. Phew thats ok.

As some have said, you will get junk mail anyway, you just press the delete button. At least its an effort by the Insurance Company who have obviousley put a bit of thought into it even if it is a marketing ploy.

Lets not be too cynical. Now what was that I was going to do ????? :Blush:

Cheers

Jim

I think you will find that by law if your vehicle is over a certain height It must be stasted on the Dashboard. Not sure of min heght but mine at 3.5 mtrs is required to have one, how about it Geo what is the appropriate rule.

Hi Roger

Since 1997 The height of all vehicles over 3 mt. MUST be displayed in the cab

Dont knock a firm because you can !!!

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE SOME OF YOUR RESPONSES !!!!!! A FIRM OFFERS TO HELP OUT WITH SOME PRODUCT THAT IS NEAT & TIDY AND YOU SLAM THE DOOR IN THEIR FACE.. JUST GET A LIFE... WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE !!!!!! This firm gave me the best quote for insurance including recovery and when I had a blowout on the M5 they were there for me.....So I renewed my policy last week because of the service they gave me !!
NOT a rant, just supporting a firm that delivers...:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

 

[gazznsam]

it's a good idea to have the details on view anyways,

like i mentioned earlier, anyone at the stratford show, come over to the kampenwagen when i'm around (on the 2nd from last row on the clubs pitch) and i'll make you up a height sticker on the vinyl cutter, will be free, but if you want anything else doing in vinyl... just ask, will be cheap.

 

[gazznsam]

really sorry for anyone who tried to get a vinyl sticker making up today from us, i've been in a bit of pain with my joints, so stayed in bed till this afternoon as it was still chucking it down,

apparantly a couple of people had tried to see me, but seeing our van all shut up, thought we were out, and someone else couldent find us apparantly.

We are the Iveco coachbuilt on the 2nd from rear line towards the trade area, between 2 american rv's, we have a blue transalp motorbike for sale at the back of the van.... goto the trade stand entrance near the racecourse, and look back on the clubs pitch.

Hopefully tommorow will be better weather, and we'll be up at a better time,
