Hi there!
I'm driving a big motorhome: a Ford Gulfstream 7.5 ton, 30 feet long left hand drive.
The sides slide out. It's a joy to drive, but it's all new to me.
I have a motorhome insurance with Safeguard. Also I'm a member of the AA. When I had a flat tyre last year the AA couldn't help me and had to call a private business, which I had to pay for. They said they couldn't lift heavy vehicles.
I then became a member of Green Flag, through the Caravan Club.
Two weeks ago the motorhome didn't start due to a fuel leakage after standing still in front of our house all winter. It had to be towed to the garage. This took the garage four attempts, with bigger and bigger towing cars. The main problem was that the back that's sticking out so far, would touch the ground when lifting up the front. Eventually they managed.
Now, this made me wonder: What if anthing happens on the road?
My Safeguard insurance has breakdown coverage, I've just discovered; will they be equipped to tow the motorhome away if necessary?
Is Green Flag equiped to do so?
Which one should I call first? Which one would give the best help for large motorhomes?
I would appreciate your experienced advise!
