365 days european breakdown cover (1 Viewer)

[nahnotme]

I rang the C&CC to speak to the carefree department and was put through to the guy who wrote this email who basiccally said that the ARRIVAL scheme and its 90 day single trip rule is a C&CC product (using RAC) and the additional 180 day cover is a separate product offered by RAC, which only covers MHs up to 8 meters. So I either chop off half me bed room, go for 3 instead of 6 months. or drive to calais for a day trip to dover and back , @2000 miles.
The guy at C&CC stated that maiking ARRIVAL have a 180 day single trip would greatly increase the premium and as most members dont go away for that long wouldnt be right. Surley they could ask the powers that be at RAC to increse the allowable length of Motorhomes who take out this separate single trip extension ?
I have also in addition tried the three suggested insures that BIBA suggested

They only do recovery with thier insurance policies and as I work in entertainment and have a larger MH find it VERY hard to get insurance. I tried all three and all declined to quote me.

SO what next....anyone any ideas ????

I'll send a link to this thread to mr C&CC. me thinks

Interesting.

When we had the problem with the security code in Morocco, ADAC didn't ask us how long we had been away from home. They just came and took the MH to where the problem could be fixed.

did they not say anything about your MH being more than the 10 meter limit in length ??
I was just about to join ADAC and noticed this ?

you have to remember that if your m,vehicle is out of uk for more than 12mths it should be classed as exported n you should tell dvla. thats another reason 365 days cover is not a term used by recovery people. many uk vehicles are used abroad n break this rulling but could be picked up n scrapped by other euro countries . its down to us having to register our vehicles with dvla. we actually pass true ownership to dvla. thats why they can scrap un taxed cars without going to court.

Insurance

Anyone know of a company which will cover a 3850kg mh for 365days in europe.
I have rung round a few and had no luck. Looks like we will have to go without.
There must be a company out there that does, surely?
