With ADAC dying a death ( effectively ) I am looking for somewhere that can cover breakdowns on a 9 mtr 5.5 ton motorhome..
Any suggestions ( that do not include the demon in the pack, the Caravan Club or what ever its called this week !! )

The cheapest option maybe to change insurers, Comfort's breakdown is £64.

Edit: Deleted Nationwide as only cover up to 8 m.

AIB sorted me insurance with breakdown on my 7t van along with large trailer (y).
Trouble is, they will not just do breakdown... dunno if they used to and stopped.. We are with Comfort and not due to change till next May

And they ( Scenic ) cannot add cover mid term, only at renewal

Appreciate the suggestion.. Apparently they do not like to cover anything older than 10 years ( ours is 2007 ) .. They would offer cover qith a 60% loading which makes it unviable .. then I mentioned the length at which point the price doubled again .. £270 !!
I got the feeling they were simply not that interested to be honest

Ask Scenic how much to cancel and start a new policy with breakdown cover.
Thats what Comfort suggested to me.

Makes it a bargain when you can get it at the same time as your insurance then,no mention of age and up to 12 mtr 👍

I did ... way too much !
We use Saga, and the overseas breakdown adds roughly another £100 to the total.

Saga for me is more than twice for van insurance .. so it works out quite expensive over all .. but thanks for the suggestion

What is the base vehicle? I get basic cover all Europe if my last service is with a franchised dealer.

On a 13 year old Ducato ?? Soppy buggers could not even supply the correct windscreen wipers when I went to a Fiat commercial place
