Wildfire damage to caravans and campers: will you get compensation?

Due to large wildfires in Southern Europe, which have led to the evacuation of about 200,000 people, owners of caravans and campers may receive compensation for damage only if they have the appropriate insurance. Caravan damage is covered by a caravan insurance policy if taken out; for a camper, mandatory insurance covers damage depending on the policy. Tents are usually covered under the baggage section of travel insurance. Evacuation and alternative accommodation are covered by travel insurance, but voluntary early return is not reimbursed.

Fire in Delft destroys property of 77-year-old caravan owner

A fire at the Schieweg industrial estate in Delft destroyed the belongings of Jan van Drunen (77). His boat and truck trailer were engulfed in flames, and his caravan was written off. Van Drunen was uninsured, as insurers reportedly refuse to cover fairground workers, classifying them as caravan dwellers. His son bought him a second-hand caravan, but it lacks shower and water. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
