cover relating to your awning. For example your insurance provider may state that you tell them the limit of insurance required and state it on the policy. There may also be exclusions relating to any damage caused by storms, such as if your awning is up but you are not in your caravan;
exclusions in general. In any insurance policy you choose there are some exclusions – therefore it is essential to check these so you know what is protected in the policy.
