Hello all.
We feel it only fair to pre warn you to reconsider taking out ADAC cover if you have a large MH.
Although I have had three english speaking conversations with Barbara Lorenz of ADAC's membership department, confirming that our large MH would be covered for breakdown and recovery up to 7.5 tonnes, just this week Rita and I have come unstuck big time, due to ADAC's €200 limit for breakdown. :Sad:
Due to an immobiliser failure, ADAC's partner in France sent a recovery vehicle which was not man enough to tow us to the local Fiat agent, 11km away in Narbonne. The hydraulic hoist failed to keep the front of the MH raised off the road, and as a result, we were left stranded by the roadside with 2 x new front tyres, completely ruined.
We then had to agree to pay out €500 before they would send a suitable recovery vehicle to pick us up.............several hours later.
We are well out of pocket now, and two days behind with our Spanish trip. Relying on the translated information from Barbara Lorenz , has been a costly mistake for us, which we will just have to "grin and bear", although we will be taking up the issue with them.
Regards to all,
Jock & Rita.
