Motorhome insurance: BdV and Finanztip give advice on coverage
© morgenpost.de

Before traveling with a motorhome or caravan, it is worth checking your insurance coverage. The German Insurance Association (BdV) reminds that private liability insurance, covering damage to property and health of third parties, is mandatory. For motorhome and caravan owners, comprehensive insurance is also relevant, protecting against damage, theft, and breakdowns. BdV advises choosing policies with sufficient coverage and considering the specifics of camping.

Finanztip, meanwhile, warns that standard car insurance is usually insufficient for a motorhome on vacation. Experts recommend a two-step plan: first get a quote from WGV, then compare rates on portals such as SAW-Assekuranz, Transparent-Beraten, or Gut. Günstig. Versichert. Separate insurance for interior equipment, which is often not covered, should also be considered.

In a referendum, 53% of Winterthur residents voted against renovating the Schützenweiher campsite. The city council sees no legal path to allow permanent camping there. In response, the Alternative List (AL) party, together with campsite residents, launched an initiative demanding a new camping project with at least one-third of the area designated for alternative housing.
