sad day with our Motorhome under water at a storage facility in Sydney's Western suburbs. Very sad that there are many others in the same boat! Banks on the creek two kms away burst overnight. The van next to mine is just over a month old. Let's see how good CIL is with their claim process......once we can get access to it.
Wow, Steve, that's, so sad, to see, hope when you can get in to assess the damage you find it not too bad. We will be interested to see how you get on. The rain has done some incredible damage.
Fingers crossed for mate.
Regards
Greg

Hi All, Just wanted to say thanks for all your thought's and best wishes.
Update on the condition of the van - water across the internal floor area and most of the external storage areas. Probably not repairable? Lost a fair bit of kit including the generator and other electrical gear. Will just have to wait and see what the insurance assessor has to say.
Probably up to about 20 caravans in the same condition. Feel the pain for the van next to ours.......young couple with their first van - brand new.
Regards,
Stephen

Hi S & N, I was very sad when I saw your images could only imagine how you must feel. One positive is the insurance will go a long way to replacing you Autotrail with the latest model. The differences are subtle but are an improvement. Our AT is also parked up on a horse stud down on the coast thankfully on high ground so hoping all is well as we are in a Italy so no chance of us able to do much if there was a problem.

Just to update you all on the progress so far...... All three vehicles pictured above ( and others) were written off by Suncorp today. The photos tell the story......
Just wanted to update everyone on the progress after the loss of the Motorhome.
Big wrap to CIL Insurance who have today placed a purchase order with Darren at Elite RV for a brand new Autotrail Delaware MH. They have covered a significant difference in price for the replacement vehicle and payed out in full for the contents insurance claimed!
All this in under four weeks from the total loss of the vehicle.
A special thanks to Sachin ( loss assessor) and Debbie ( claims specialist) for their professional approach in dealing with the claim.
I highly recommend this Company from my claims experience.
Good news for you Bigman - and what a big wrap for CIL - we are with them, haven't used them for anything other than a windscreen as yet, but that was dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Happy travels!

Just an update to let you know that with the help of CIL Insurance and Darren at Elite RV we picked up our replacement Autotrail Delaware 2016 last Friday. All safe and at home high and dry in our new home in Queensland. Thanks to all involved. Now to start putting it all back together.
