My dad now has the same problem with his motorhome.
The RAC will cover it but only if you join the caravan club!
Which I feel is almost blackmail, however thats just my thought.

I had the same issue with the AA years ago, when I telephoned from the roadside they refused to send a recovery truck out because my vehicle was 'outside the allowed dimensions'.
They knew that from the computer screen, so to my mind they sold me the policy knowing I couldnt use it.
However they did send a mechanic out who did help me get it back on the road to get home.

Mine is now with my insurance company and they seem good but I have never used the breakdown cover.

Hi Spinner, Yes I think that is the way to go..I have just insured with Saga because of the 365 days in Europe as I spend a lot of time in France and did not know Safeguard did it too. Will check it out..Happy motorhoming.

Ours is covered with our insurance but in the past I have used the RAC through the camping and caravan club no weight limit but you need to be a member of CCC it used to be around 115 for the year not sure what it is now
