Novocastrian Caravan and RV Repairs has seen it all. From the RV owner who underestimated the height of a tree branch and ripped their awning off, to hail damage and even flooding. Determining what is and isn’t covered is up to the insurance company. But it’s a good idea to keep a record of all maintenance work carried out on your vehicle. This is especially important when claiming on water damage inside the van.
