S'pose I'd better clarify. The monster shown in the avatar is the Oz motorhome. The Europe MH is a 7 metre Hobby.

A bad battery connection wiped the security code from the ignition keys so i couldn't move.

Phone call to Germany and they sent a truck 150km to take the MH to the Ford service agent 150km away.

They also have world-wide medical recovery for members.

Most details are on the web site and there is a fair bit of it in English

I think Nellie referred to these too.

I am insured with these people too and would echo your thoughts.

Perhaps an additional consideration for somepeople, There is no restriction on continental cover.

Thanks for that. I'd better clarify too, we joined ADAC last year, in preparation for our trip to Morocco, fortunately we didn't need to call them out but I'm very interested to find out how others get on with them in the event of a breakdown. Can I ask if you got an English speaking operator on the phone? How was the service generally, was the breakdown truck adequate?

With Saga also, never needed them yet but you never know, mines 6m, but I dont recall them asking. Perhaps because we are insured with also.

The service was perfect. Rang late in the afternoon. Was talking to an English speaker within seconds of their help line being answered. She understood Australian as well. Firstly concerned that we were both OK and in good health then took down our membership number and promised that someone would call me from Morocco.
They called 30 minutes later and again checked that we were OK. Told them we were quite happy to spend the night so they said a truck would arrive at 10am. Next morning another phone call at 9am to check on our exact location.
truck arrived exactly on time. Near-new vehicle with plenty of gear. Professional driver took details, inspected and photographed the MH and then carefully loaded it making sure there was no damage due to scraping.

Pleasant trip to the ford garage, unloaded us carefully, got my signature and he was off to pick up another MH way down the bottom of Morocco.
Everyone spoke english and the service was great.

Has been pointed out that ADAC do have limits on the length of time you can be out of Germany on the trip but we weren't asked. maybe doesn't aapply to the ADAC Plus membership

I used insurance choice my MH is 26ft long. towed me from bristol all way home to Blackburn Lancs, best 149.00 quid ever spent.
 
I've just read this thread through and I am with the AA as of August 1st this year. My MH is 3,500kg but I seem to recall that they have had an epihany and size no longer matters. - Why not ask them? I sure I heard them right.

If you are over 50 I would look at Saga. One particular benefit they have is if you lay up your van for months over the Winter you need only pay 25% of the Insurance for that period but you are still covered for Fire and Theft. I am with Caravanguard. The recovery is included in the cost of insurance and I am happy with the price. I asked for a quote when changing from an Elddis Autoquest 120 (3.2 Tonne) to a Burstner 747 (max 5 Tonne) and the cost is the same. There is no size limit for recovery.
 
Comfort Insurance offer motorhome insurance policies which can be extended to include full UK and continental break down cover, with no limits on height, weght or length.
 
Got my breakdown / recovery throughout Europe free when I took out insurance with "Safeguard" and they use the AA obviously they know the model of my van and that it's nearly 7 metres long! :)
 
We're with the RAC through the C&CC and that covers our 21ft van.

Autoaid , no good if you have a big van , they won't cover me becuse mine is an old ambulance 3100 kg and 3.5 v8 engine , has to be under 2500 kg and 2500 cc
 
Hi kimbow.

I use Insurance choice and used them this year from Devon to Lancashire in one trip, No changing over like the aa. Cost £149.00 for a large motorhome been with them for two years, also have the insurance with them and you get a discount with two or more policies. Cant fault them at all. Hope this helps.:):).
 
Cheap recovery.
