My folks have an old motorhome that has now hit the 25 year cut off for various places that do breakdown cover, including the caravan club. Any recommendations please?  |

I'm with brittania rescue through the CSMA, they don't cover a vehicle per se, they provide personal cover which lets you call assistance to you.
Not 100% sure about motorhomes, but they have no issues moving my six wheel RRC whenever I've needed.
Might be worth a try?

I'm with GEM recovery. Similar to Britannia, they cover the person not the specific vehicle. From their website: I've only had to use them once, and it took approx 5-6hrs to get me 100 miles home in a smaller vehicle. Not ideal, but it had to be done as a relay.

We have a family policy with the AA covers any vehicle up to 3.5T GVM, it's not cheap though around £300 for all 4 of us driving/passenger in any car.
we have used it 3 times, the first was when a hose burst on the mx5, they fixed that with a spare hoes I had in 30 minutes of the call, the second was when the auto gearbox went on the range rover, came fairly quickly but obviously could not fix it so I had to wait 4 hours for recovery.3rd time was my daughters other half got 2 punctures on his modern bmw, they fitted a pair of universal slave wheels (slotted to fit anything) followed him home and changed them back, took them a good 3 hours to turn up though.
We use them at work as well they are really slow on recovering vans though. (last one was a 7 hour wait)
In summary they seem fine with older vehicles, they do get you home but their response time seems to be getting worse and worse.

I went with the AA last year half way through a holiday when the gearbox lost 5th gear between two camp sites. Done a bit of quick research on a few recovery companys, and what their max size and age was and the AA didnt have anything on age, but did have limit on the size.
luckly i was able to get the van home and didnt need them, but ive kept the policy running as its only £16 a month for myself and my father and is handy to have for the various junk i drive

This is why I stick with the AA. It may take a while but it's basically anything recovered from anywhere to anywhere.
