Caravan disasters

930bff8e-4d55-4646-a568-c61267c2acfc
If nothing else, the compilation of decimation and desctruction below is probably the best example of why you really do need caravan insurance before you get out on the road (or before you even leave your property). Thing is, everyone secretly loves seeing things get blown up, or bashed together, or raced to breaking point, because let's be honest – when else are you going to get to experience it? If you are planning on taking a caravan on a track day for some reason, let us know... We'll come and watch!

Not only is this a great satisfaction of curiosity, but it's also massively one of those DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME moments. View the videos below with our Caravan TV channel and you'll see that, unless you are in the minority of caravan racing under secure and safe, supervised track conditions, whichever way you look at it the situation isn't going to end well.

Let us know what you think by getting in touch. In the meantime, enjoy the explosions, the crashes, bangs and wallops, and be thankful none of them happened to you.

Explode-o-van!

Ever wondered how to make a caravan disappear in a matter of seconds? These guys are about to show you. Well, kind of. The suspense nearly killed us when we first watched this! Warning: contains some strong language.



The little engine that couldn't

We're always harping on about making sure that your outfit is well suited. Both the car and caravan weight has to be taken into consideration before you decide to tow with any combination of the two. This is exactly why...



Caravan strip-o-gram

Sometimes it's not just accidents and abuse that leads caravans to the big bright touring park in the sky. These guys show us how to break a caravan for parts, or perhaps just because it's had its time and has to be removed.



Caravan carnage

We said that if you don't match your outfit, things can go horribly wrong. These guys seem to have taken that result to a whole new level and been given a track to play with too! Can anyone say desctruction derby?



How did it get in there to start with?

There are times when it's best to be very careful. Of course, there are also times where you should just give it beans and see what happens. This, however, is not one of the latter... Warning: contains some strong language.



Back to the playground, but bigger

What collection of caravan calamities would be complete without at least one example of Top Gear playing with our top tourers? Here, the childhood game of conkers is taken to a whole new level.






Be sure to take a look at all our other videos available on Caravan TV. We're adding new videos and updating what's on offer all the time, plus there's also the option to upload your own footage if you've filmed anything (suitable) with your smartphone or other recorder. All you need to do is click the "submit a video" button at the top of the player!
