In recent years, trailer tents, folding campers and folding caravans have grown in popularity to be viewed as affordable, alternatives to conventional touring caravans. With this in mind, Shield Total Insurance, one of the UK's leading providers of Folding Caravan Insurance, highlight the numerous benefits in owning a folding caravan from Gobur (the UK's only manufacturer of solid-sided folding caravans).
The folding caravan has become an increasingly popular choice for the discerning caravanner. Materials used in construction can take many forms: fabric, flexible plastic or solid rigid side walls and roofs, with the folding caravan looking more like a touring caravan when set up. For those that don't want a conventional solid tourer, Gobur Folding Caravans offer a unit that is well finished, yet can be stored securely in a domestic garage when not in use. A real plus, especially if you live in a new-build house with a tight driveway and/or have a small garage area.
The stability of both car and folding caravan even down twisty back roads, combined with the fact that it is lightweight, has a low profile and offers good rear visibility, makes it easy to tow, particularly for the inexperienced tower. Ever conscious of the soaring cost of fuel, the reduced wind resistance gives improved fuel efficiency.
Gobur Folding Caravans have been a long-term player in this niche market place, offering a well finished folding caravan to buyers who demand quality. They sell direct to the public, cutting out additional dealership costs. A good choice of folding caravan models is available, with three ranges in the Carousel line-up: Slimline, Standard and Clubman. The two berth models are popular as it's mostly couples who go for the Gobur. However, a four berth layout is available in the standard range.
Little effort is needed to get the folding caravan up and running and ready to use. The sides fold out, assisted by gas struts. Once the sides are up and the roof in place, it is simply a case of popping some cupboards and seating cushions back into position. So for a Gobur owner it takes around ten minutes maximum to have the van ready to use and you won't feel daunted moving it around even by hand. Once unhitched it is easy to push into position. But the real beauty is that the Gobur closes down and is then basically a trailer on the back of the car.
Once you have chosen the folding caravan for you, don't forget to contact a specialist for your folding caravan insurance needs. Shield Total Insurance offers some handy hints and tips on buying folding caravan insurance that will save you money, leaving you to enjoy the freedom of the open road with complete peace of mind.
