POLL NOW CLOSED – Thanks to everyone who voted
Anchoring and skirting your static caravan or holiday lodge has many benefits.
An anchored caravan will prevent it from tipping over or getting washed away during extreme stormy weather and flooding.
And caravan skirting will help to protect the underside of your unit and provide an extra layer of insulation by minimising draughts and reducing the risk of frozen pipes.
In this month’s community poll, we’d like to know if your holiday caravan is anchored at each corner and if it’s skirted around the bottom?
Simply choose from the options below and, as always, feel free to add any comments as to why you anchor or skirt your caravan.
We’ll report back the results in March, but in the meantime, you can read more about the importance of static caravan anchoring and the benefits of caravan skirting.
Will check if anchored next time we go
Our park owner stopped allowing owners to put skirting around their vans … even although we have a verandah around the van … reason given was access harder for workers to reach access points ..
Skirting also improves the appearance of the van
It does indeed David.
I think you will find that the majority of Static Caravan Insurance providers have a clause within the documentation that the Unit must be Anchored at 4 Points,so whether skirted or not is irrelevant. Be Careful as this could void you insurance.
Hope this helps.
Best Wishes
