Insurance
Who insures their gear and with whom do they insure.
As I plan to park my caravan in Portland for the coming season, I decided I better look into insuring my fishing gears, My boat and caravan are covered. Rather than go from one insurer to another I now have multiple policies with the RAVC.
I spent a fair while on the phone with a consultant, listing the reels and rods that I will be using, plus the others that weren't cheap to buy. I also listed the Black Magic harness as well.
The caravan is getting an annex added, so the insurance policy was updated to include that as well.

Re: Insurance
I guess caravans are a different kettle of fish (so to speak!).
As far as I'm aware, any gear that I have is covered under the house contents insurance.
I don't have any gear worth more than 100 bucks, so I'm not too worried.

Re: Insurance
RACV with me as well. you can cover the fishing equipment under sporting goods i believe.
lures are not covered afaik.
i have multiple policies with them as well and recieve some sort of discount, wether or not this is actually saving me money or not is anyones guess though..
mingle - dont think fishing gear is covered under house contents, i asked that already.

Re: Insurance
I use to have 5 policies with racv but found gio was cheaper for both cars and when took house insurance to then they beat racv by 300 and 500 on each car.

Re: Insurance

Re: Insurance
Boat insurance covers repairs and replacement of trailer but not transport unless 100km from home.
If my trailer is stolen at bermagui on a Saturday and i have to leave in sunday to head back to work monday.
They will store boat and replace trailer for reasonable time till i can drive up to get it.

Re: Insurance
I got hit in my kayak by a rowing crew last year in the Yarra. My kayak was flipped and all my gear went to the bottom...and they broke my mirage drive.
I put in a claim with Westpac Ins. I got replacement quotes for everything including kayak parts, sounder, phone, rods and reels etc...all up was around $4.5k. They paid out within a week after the quotes were submitted! I couldn't praise them enough.
