I have been with Green Flag (Mayday) through the C.C. for quite a few years.  My VW also has breakdown cover as part of the manufacturer's service and maintenance warranty.  In the event of a breakdown, they would move the van to a place of safety.  I am not certain what a "place of safety" actually means so, if solo I would call out VW (associated with RAC) and, if towing, I would call out Green flag.

Have got car insurance and Breakdown cover with the co-op. I pick a new van up next week. I thought I would ask what would happen should I breakdown and need to be towed/transported with a caravan. Further investigation by the insurance team with their breakdown agent revealed it would be towed as long as it does not exceed 5.1mts.
That rules me out then. Shall have to look at others when this cover runs out. Beware!!

We're with Mayday/Greenflag too.

Standard breakdown cover (not thru CC or C&CC) will usually cover your caravan to be recovered in the event of a breakdown on your car (depending on weights) but if it's the caravan that has a problem it won't be covered as the car is roadworthy & that's where the cover is.

with any beakdown cover you need to check small print what is cover and not just changed mine to mayday as caravan over 21ft
