Thinking about Insurance?

CIL Caravan Insurance covers a wide range of recreational vehicles — not just caravans. That includes motorhomes, camper trailers, slide-ons, and even horse floats. Whether you’re travelling full-time or taking occasional weekend trips, there’s a policy tailored for your setup. The cover applies Australia-wide and is designed for touring lifestyles, so you can explore with peace of mind. If you’re unsure which category your vehicle fits into, just ask us — we can walk you through the options and ensure you’re getting the right level of protection. The goal is to make sure your RV or caravan is fully covered on and off the road, especially while you’re far from home. That’s why we partner with a specialist insurer like CIL — it’s built for travellers, not just vehicle owners.

Yes — CIL policies automatically include up to $1,000 contents cover, with the option to increase this if needed. That means your essential belongings — things like kitchen gear, bedding, outdoor furniture, or personal items — are protected in case of theft, fire, or accidental damage. You can also add optional contents cover for laptops and portable tech, with protection of up to $3,000 per item. This is especially useful for remote workers, digital nomads, or families who travel with valuable devices. Caravan contents are often overlooked until something goes wrong — having them covered helps avoid nasty surprises. If you’ve customised your van with off-grid setups or travel regularly with expensive gear, talk to us about boosting your cover limits.

Yes — one of the biggest benefits of a CIL Insurance policy is that it includes accommodation and transport assistance if your trip is disrupted. If you’re more than 100 kilometres from home and your caravan is damaged in an accident or incident, CIL will help cover temporary accommodation costs. You’ll also get assistance with vehicle return or towing, depending on whether you’re in a caravan, camper trailer, or motorhome. This kind of cover is especially important if you’re doing long-haul trips across Australia or heading into more remote regions. It’s not just about fixing the van — it’s about helping you stay safe and looked after if plans go sideways. It’s one of the reasons we recommend specialist RV insurance over general policies.

Absolutely. CIL has a dedicated 24/7 claims support team — available 365 days a year. Whether you’ve had a roadside incident, storm damage, or a break-in while parked at a caravan park, help is just a phone call away. The claims team is trained specifically in recreational vehicle insurance, so they understand the kinds of scenarios travellers face — like being stranded interstate or dealing with towing logistics. You won’t be shuffled through a generic call centre or asked to explain what a slide-on camper is. This fast, RV-specific support is one of the reasons 7th Street Caravans recommends CIL — it makes a stressful situation easier to manage, especially when you’re on the road.

CIL offers a number of optional add-ons so you can tailor your cover to suit your travel style. These include higher levels of contents cover (e.g. for laptops, photography gear, or tools), no-excess windscreen replacement for motorhomes, and hire vehicle cover if your RV is stolen or off the road after an incident. You can also choose flexible excess levels and pay-by-the-month instalments to better manage your budget. These options allow you to build a comprehensive insurance package that gives you confidence while touring — not just basic coverage. When you buy through 7th Street Caravans, we’ll help explain each option and make sure you’re only paying for what you actually need.
