Another thread on here mentioned this - I think it warrants its own thread.

I have been with Britannia Rescue in all of its previous disguises for a good 30 years now (it started as the Green Flag under the CSMA Umbrella I seem to remember?). It's now under the wings of L=V and has lost its 'personal touch' ... more about the money now, sadly :(

Anyway, my policy covers me for any car I may be in (the wife and I have Personal Cover each) - it also covers recovering my Folding Camper ......... and, up until reading the other thread, assumed it also covered if the FC broke down - I do not think it does!!

Who do you cover your Uniots with and are you sure that, if the FC broke down, you would be entitled to any cover at all? Would you be stuck at the side of the road?

Mine is up for renewal in 2 weeks, need to decide pretty quick what to do!

Looked at the Arrival offering from the C&CC, run through the RAC .... no prices on the website (how damned annoying is that!!??).

Anyone any feedback on the Arrival RAC offering? Or any other options?

I'm an Engineer, so can solve almost anything - it's just that I would like to be recovered home if a fault with the FC causes me to be immobile. I wouldn't like to leave my FC by the side of the road for any reason.

I'm going to contact Britannia Rescue tomorrow and see what they say - they may recover it if it renders the whole (Unit and Car) immobile.

I hate to tempt fate, it hasn't happened ever, but I haven't thought about it before.

The above £89 sounds like a decent option. The £173, also mentioned above, won't be interesting me one bit - that's OUTRAGEOUS!! It would cost about that to get recovered ..... I will be taking my chances at that rip-off price!

Britannia Rescue are great, maybe they would help if something happened to the Trailer? Even if they charge, it could be worth the gamble? Not sure yet.

Just spoken to RAC ref the Arrival Rescue and Recovery - £116 but with a C&CC £15 Voucher (my renewal on that is due so would be as good as cash right now) - not sure why the person above is paying over £200? maybe Homestart too?

My Britannia cover is £89 but £13 of that is the CSMA Membership charge, so, £76 in reality ....... seems pretty good.

Thanks all for your comments.

I have just contacted Britannia Rescue and they have confirmed that they would turn out to attend a FC which had broken down. My renewal is due in about 2 weeks - maybe that influenced things?

At £76 I think I will be staying where I am .....
