The Motorhome Blog
Welcome to the motorhome blog from Comfort Insurance!
As motorhomers ourselves, we are constantly learning new tips from and sharing our own experiences with the wider community and with new friends we meet while out on the road.
That's why we started this motorhome blog - as a place for our customers to find useful resources which can help them to get even more out of the motorhome lifestyle.

Our blog posts will cover everything you need to know about motorhoming with the family and kids.

Residents against the idea of much needed campsite

Motorhome Fire Safety
If your motorhome were to catch fire, would you know how to respond? With an oven, a petrol engine and so many electrics in the same place, it’s not uncommon for motorhome fires to start and we do get motorhome insurance claims every year about vehicles that have set fire.
