Breakdown recovery
Hi just wanted to ask what is the best company to use for motorhome to include European travel. Went with Green Flag to just find out they do not cover motorhomes abroad so i see a cancellation coming. Yes i know i should have checked but new to the game and ass/u/me/d as i booked through Caravan Club it would do a 90 day european cover.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for replys. fter searching i have found other posts with same question so i guess it is a common question. Afraid just took out insurance 2 months ago but will check if they may do it as i did not ask at the time. Otherwise i wil try the ones mentiones as a breakdown only.

Will do tomorrow. I am with insurance choice and just done internet search and they came up. Seems stange they did not mention it when i took out insurance so if they do provide i will probably pay more than if i took two products at once.

Breakdown cover
We are with Campton ins/brokers, they include breakdown cover, I dont think anyone else has mentioned it but whoever you go with make sure that if you are over 3.5tons you are covered.

mine is 5000kg and i have full cover and i have fiats cover
I did mine through comfort as a stand alone policy (underwritten by Lloyds)
Full Euro cover and NO size or weight limit. It cost me £81 last August for a '97 Hymerr 544

i'm trying to source european breakdown cover over here in ireland - but can't find anyone who will cover a van over 10yrs old.
i'm currently seeing if any of the UK based companies will offer me the cover - on which note I came across www.quotelinedirect.co.uk - which appears to give full european cover for £59.

Another satisfied safeguard customer (broke down in germany last summer, recovered to local dealer and fixed with no problems at all even though my van is 4000kg), only problem with many breakdown assistance companies is they have a weight restiriction at 3500kg, if you join through the camping & caravan club scheme which is managed by the RAC there is no weight restriction. I did shop around last month on my insurance renewal but couldnt better the scheme through safeguard.
I did a fair bit of searching around on this topic -
http://www.motorhomefacts.com/ftopict-56917-.html
I found it to be a real nightmare. Several companies (including CC) said it was ok for length/weight issues etc. but wouldn't put it in writing.
If you follow the above link and look at the spreadsheet at the end you will get some of the limitations of various companies. It may be a little out of date now (completed 4 or 5 months ago) but you will get an idea of the pitfalls etc. especially for larger, heavier units and length of time away etc.
As I say its a minefield out there
EDIT: here is the spreadsheet to save you looking
