Much like the updates that we provided last week around our specialist 4X4 Motor Insurance product, our Camper Trailer, Slide on and Caravan Policy has also had some time in the shed for some tweaks.

One of the biggest bugbears from the market about our Caravan and Camper Trailer Insurance Policy since it was introduced, was that we couldn’t insure anyone who permanently lived in their van or trailer whilst travelling the country.

Who doesn’t love the comfort of travelling with a home away from home?

The intent was always to encourage and support touring, so living permanently in the van whilst static was and still is, not our target. Inadvertently though, our wording was precluding those of us who were touring indefinitely. This created a real misalignment with our Corporate Vision To be the Insurer of Choice for the 4X4 Touring Enthusiast; particularly in a time when more and more of us are entering the hobby.

As a result of this review, I am pleased to announce that our Camper Trailer, Slide-on and Caravan policy will now cover those of you who are lucky enough to be on the road, even if you have no end date in sight for your trip; as long as you are travelling or touring.

We also took the time to adjust a few other issues along the way. We’ve clarified cover for your annexe even when it isn’t erected, and also simplified wording in relation to the requirements for claiming for theft of personal possessions. Our old PDS required the items to be stolen from a locked (with a key) space. Given the explosion in Camper Trailer sales and the fact that many use canvas, not doors, we’ve made the wording more sensible and considerate of that fact.

We’ve also aligned our definitions with the 4X4 Policy wording and tidied some other aspects along the way.

We’ve updated this document with key changes to our Camper and Caravan Policy too

So, if you are lucky enough to be able to travel the country full-time, we can now cover what you tow as well as the tow vehicle! And you’ll save up to 10% by holding 2 or more policies with us.

To find out more give one of our 4X4 touring enthusiasts a call on 1800 CLUB 4X4 (258 249)

Happy Touring

If you’d rather not be the evening entertainment, here’s how to reverse your setup cleanly, calmly and without the chaos.

Best LandCruiser Engine in 2026: Which One is Right for You?

The LandCruiser name has been earned the hard way, forged across Australia’s harshest tracks and most remote country. While the badge gets the recognition, it’s the engines that built the legacy. The best choice comes down to how you use your 4WD, whether that’s crossing the Simpson, towing a van up the coast, or running a reliable daily that’s ready for the weekend.

The Mods That Changed the Way We Travel

Seven years, three tow vehicles and more than 200,000km on the road have a way of sorting the useful mods from the show pony gear. This guide runs through the 4x4 upgrades that genuinely changed how we travel, from suspension and GVM to recovery gear, storage, power and the little bits of kit you only fully appreciate when things go sideways.
