Recovery of our vehicles is always a big issue as they're so big. The RAC did a scheme via insurance companies/brokers to cover long vehicles. However I found when trying to get conformation from the RAC that even they didn't know what was what. But it was eventually confirmed my vehicle was covered but getting written conformation from higher up the ladder. It would appear its best to get your recovery cover via one of the big camping clubs. However I bought mine via my broker off someone other than the RAC/AA (can’t remember who they are). When trying to sign up for a second year, they seem to double/triple their prices, hence my research.
Perhaps when my vehicle becomes ten years old (if I still have the current one then) will bring in a whole new set of problems, especially as I want/need continental cover.
With regards to the actual vehicle insurance cover, I’m faced with two problems. The first being heart surgery a couple of years ago, and the vehicle I drive being considered as modified. Most people including myself have found Adrian Flux insurance are pretty good at sourcing suitable polices at sensible prices to cover modification, health and recovery. Its always best to shop around as your personal circumstances will always be different to everyone else’s.
