Who are you insured with ? The specialist motorhome brokers often offer breakdown as an add on.
I'm with AIB and have mine through them

 

[Janine]

I have RAC Arrival which covers any vehicle I am travelling in.

 

[icantremember]

Same as Janine, RAC Arrival for us, but you have to be a member of The Camping and Caravanning Club also.

Same for us too, through the Camping and Caravanning Club.

Autoaid as recommended by Martin Lewis the money saving expert for £59 per annum but not European cover

I think there is a limit on weight regarding the any vehicle cover - might be 3.5 ton

Not according to their website?

Nationwide Flexiplus

That one is, I think, restricted to 3500Kg

 

[Janine]

Had me thinking about whether personal cover does in fact cover any weight of vehicle and it appears to.

8.5 Mtrs and 7.5 tonne nationwide flex

8.5 Mtrs and 7.5 tonne nationwide flex

That must be their FlexPlus account for which they charge £13 per month.

Been with LV/Britannia for years.
The only caution is they don't actually do roadside repairs, their default is to get you towed to somewhere that will (at a cost). For that reason I am considering looking elsewhere but wonder if the others operate similarly?

We are with Nationwide too, yes we pay £13 PM but this also includes holiday insurance and breakdown for all vehicles in household plus covers all our phones.

We used to have the same account but dropped it as I have doubts the travel cover would be any use while motorhoming. I think they only cover prebooked holliday arrangements which we rarely have.

That’s the travel insurance isn’t it?
the Breakdown cover doesn’t have those restrictions on
my calculations include the travel and breakdown and it’s always seemed extremely good value
also ofcourse includes the phone
the age restrictions fir the travel insurance have been increased- now additional payments after 70 which we both reach this year. But I think it’s only one additional payment for the pair of us

I may be wrong but I think if you use the travel insurance in the UK you must stay at a commercially licensed place for min 2 nights, I don't think there is anything to say they won't cover you abroad if not booked into somewhere. I stand to be corrected though.

Thanks Gerry, I shall have another look at the T&C for that account.

Correct covers all vehicles if I remember right even the one you are in. Plus phone insurance and travel insurance with terms. Might change when ime 70

 

[mitzimad]

Weve given driver guardian a try this year as we will not go abroad for a while

Just looked at the policy for trips outside the UK it just says trips must start and end at your home.

I thought it was something like that.

I was thinking of getting breakdown cover but a bit unsure as we have a new van with the fiat camper assist ,question is is it better to have double the cover or just stick with the fiat one for now ,decisions decisions.

I don't see the point of paying for something you don't need. If you breakdown you will be wondering which one to call & it's pot luck who turns up anyway.
