Bob

If you are over 50 Saga motorhome breakdown insurance has no vehicle age limit, also try Adrian Flux.

But breakdown/recovery insurance is not an automatic ticket home for your vehicle, they will only transport it home----If the vehicle cannot be repaired locally in a reasonable time---I guess you will have a Peugeot/Fiat base vehicle, no problems getting them repaired in France.

So--Scenario--major breakdown in the south of France--gearbox gone-your free tow will be just as far as the nearest Peugeot or Fiat main dealers, which wont be far away & you will have to pay whatever rip off price they quote you to get mobile again.

If the van will take a while to fix & you tell your insurance you need to get home, they will fly you home & back again later to collect it which would be cheaper for them than transporting the van home.

Ok you might be lucky & convince them to bring the van home but the further away you are from Northern France the less likely.

Recovery insurance? Red Pennant thru the Caravan Club: It costs but delivers what they claim of it. I have tried others and have been less than impressed - still have a claim outstanding from last year.
