Since yesterdays post on buying a used trailer; well things have moved on a bit, based on the sellers pictures and he seemed genuine on the phone...didn't want a deposit to hold it until I collect it, and his asking price was astonishly low it seemed silly not to commit!
Anyway, the next unknown for me, insurance. The trailer will be used on the motorhome but I don't want to use it to collect trailer. We've got an old Rav that's got a towbar and will be be fine to bring it home.
First of all is a legal requirement to have insurance for the trailer?
Next, I assume that I should inform the insurer of the Rav that I intend to tow a trailer for a day?
As the motorhome will be the main towing vehicle, I'm guessing that they will add the trailer to my current policy - at a cost. However, with the Smartie on the trailers what happens to the Smartie when it's being towed and the unthinkable happens? Does the Smart's insurance cover any damage it sustains?
I've had a ferret on the net and nothing, to me at least, seems very clear. As the motorhome and Smarts insurance is due for renewal in the next 6 weeks, is there any insurer who can roll the whole package into one policy?
Again, any words of wisdom will be gratefully recieved
