It is complicated to some extent, but if you tell your insurance company before you need it you will find that they will cover your needs, It is like most things do not leave it to chance,

we have travelled abroad with our van for many years and always informed the insurance companys of what we are doing and never had a problem, and we have needed it on two occasions, We found M&S first class with the car and caravan guard the same with the van (a large twin axle) it has not cost us any more on the premiumand considerably less than the two main clubs. Our personal insurance is covered by our bank. M&S have one of the best foriegn travel car covers we have found as it covers more than one trip for more than 21 days.

I would you talk to your existing companys explain what you want and get them to confirm they cover it and what you need to carry with you just in case it is needed.

"some times car recovery firms have a limit on caravan length (green flag)"

Are you sure about this old chap?  We have MayDay for breakdown in the UK (i.e. Green Flag by the back door) and have used Red Pennant for the E.U.  I thought we were covered for any size of van?  I thought it was other companies that put restrictions (i.e. RAC and AA)?  This is not an issue for our particular van (I have been recovered before), but it may be an issue for some.

        You are covered via the CC They have a deal  with green flag & have no length restriction, How ever if you go direct with Green flag there is a length restriction 

The same goes for the RAC via C&CC &  direct with RAC
