Another ADAC. Been with them for 7 years, called them out twice in that time both times in France. Very happy with them. They cover every private vehicle in your name up to 7.5 tonnes and 10 mts long.

We use Driver Guardian, they do cover for up to 12 metres and up to, and over 16 year old vehicles. Paid £169 to cover my 7.5 tonne 17 year old RV in Europe.

Nationwide Flex Plus current account includes breakdown for MH up to 7.5 tonnes and up to 8 metres. Europe wide, Trip length 180 days. It'll cost you £120 a year, but also includes worldwide travel insurance and some other stuff. And currently 3% interest on balances up to £2500, so a possible £75 to defray the upfront cost of the account.
Hopefully, I'll never find out how good the cover actually is. (y)

Just looking into this myself - driver guardian does up to 120 days, so after that you will have no cover. My vehicle is 20 so more difficult to find. Vwalan, do you need it fixed very much? Do you think you make any saving not having breakdown?

just getting towed of the french motorways makes cover essential

It is in the small print. Their standard is for 90 days which you can opt to increase to 120 days for additional cost.
The small print isn't that small, its in this bit although could be ambiguous:

• Cover must be in place 1 day before you travel when buying this policy for the first time
• Cover is for the UK all year and 90 day trips to Europe
• Covers a Motorhome 16 years or older and under 150,000 miles ()
• Vehicle can be up to 8.5m Long, 2.5m wide, 3.5m high and up to 3.5 tonne
• Vehicle can be changed twice a year, you must inform us of this by email
• Cover is also when towing a Caravan/Trailer up to 7m long
• You can not buy this policy for an already broken down vehicle
• Breakdown Assistance expertly handled by Call Assist 365 days a year
