Insurer warns: Motorhome owners risk fines and tire blowouts at season start
Original source: Glåmdalen

In Brief

Tryg Forsikring warns that many motorhome owners start the season illegally by forgetting to renew registration and insurance. Tires also pose a blowout risk after winter storage.

Insurance company Tryg Forsikring warns motorhome and caravan owners about common mistakes at the start of the season. Many forget to renew registration and insurance after winter storage, making their trip illegal.

In 2025, the company recorded over 2,600 insurance claims involving motorhomes. The most expensive claims were related to moisture damage. A moisture test is recommended once per insurance year, otherwise the right to compensation may be lost.

Additionally, after winter storage, tires are at increased risk of blowout due to temperature fluctuations and inactivity, leading to cracks. The company recommends replacing tires every 5–6 years, regardless of tread depth.
