Sorry to sort of jump in on this thread, I take it when they (greenflag and the NTTA) state the maximum length is 7m. Does this exclude the hitch and the A frame.  The reason I ask is that I am looking at getting a new van with a total length of 7.23m including the hitch and A frame, is this coverable from Greenflag and does it conform to the NTTA standards.

Yes, it conforms to NTTA standards, and there are loads of caravans on the road with equivalent length.

From the recovery point of view, Green Flag will only accept you if you are a member of, or join, the Caravan Club, and take out their (C.C.) Mayday recovery. 

Mayday (operated by Greenflag via the Caravan Club), has different length restictions than Greenflag direct. Therefore to get the higher grade recovery facilities, you must join the Caravan Club and then use their Mayday recovery system(even though it is still operated by Greenflag. Greenflag also operate a HGV recovery scheme so that a big motorhome maybe recovered by them.Remember that the Greenflag scheme utilises recovery agents acting on their behalf and the "job" will be allocated to the agent with the appropriate equipment in the area of the breakdown. I used to help out at a recovery company and we were agents for a few different schemes (incl Greenflag) and big HGV's)

Thats great, I am a member of the Caravan Club allready so this should be straight forward to upgrade to Mayday via Greenflag.

 Just a reminder Mayday will not cover you if your car is Leased or a Motability vechicle, the only one to cover you is C &CC Arrival scheme which is run by the RAC.

 I have a Motabilty car when i asked over the tel thats when i found out no Motability & no Lease cars, but if you are going abroad Red Pennant will cover you does not make sense to me.

I think the issue with leased and motability vehicles is that they already have breakdown insurance and that it is against the law to have two policies for the same thing. The only exception for this I believe is life insurance.

It would be a intresting question about being covered by 2 policys as years ago my grandad was a member of the AA and RAC.

My other half has 2 pension policys?

 The motability car i have is a Kia Carens it as breakdown recovery scheme with KIA, which is provided by the RAC, it as recovery scheme with Motabilty provided by RAC and i have breakdown recovery for when i am towing with C&CC also provided by the RAC, i have to have the one because the other 2 will not cover the caravan, by the way the first 2 are provided FREE.
