insurance for a trailer tent

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post.

I have recently bought a penine pathfinder trailer tent, Under my car insurance I am covered to tow it, but i am looking for insurance for the trailer tent. Is there a comparison site or any recommendations?

    We got our trailer tent insurance from www.insuranceforholidayhomes.co.uk

    Our trailer tent and camping equipment is worth roughly £1300 and we are paying £37 a year premium.
    You might get some info from www.ukcampsites.co.uk and find other insurers. I found this company from reccomendations over there.

    edit to add : just clicked the link myself to make sure it was working lol anyway that link makes it look like its just holiday homes but I can assure you they do tents also. We just renewed our cover less than a month ago.

    Might be worth phoning them, like I say they definitely do camper insurance.
    The other link (camping forum) is great as you get loads of info, site recomendations etc, its a must for all campers :D

    We insured our folding camper with camping and caravan club.
  • Thanks Eage_1, I saved £40 by a very pleasant short phone call to http://www.insuranceforholidayhomes.co.uk/.
    Nice people, and a "proper" telephone number...so no ripping you off with "National Rate" numbers!
