The type of action that invites the 'No more entries will be accepted for the 'Wally of the Week Award' reply. I have several such awards, and the slightly more prestigious 'One More Brain Cell and You Could Have Been a Plant' Statuette, standing proudly over the fireplace ...We sort of used it - it seemed fine.
What actually happened was that we were in Spain for Christmas and New Year a few years ago. Between the two, we were moving from one campsite to another. We stopped at the supermarket on our way out of the town where we had spent Christmas, but when we left, the van wouldn’t go above 20mph. We were supposed to be travelling a couple of hours south on the motorway, no way could we continue, so we limped back to the site we had just left and fortunately they were able to book us back in. We phoned the Nationwide and they arranged for a mechanic - however he wasn’t going to be able to come out for about 5 days, because of it being Christmas, a weekend, and New Year. That was what we expected anyway, so no criticism of the service.
However, the next morning, husband pointed at a little button on the dash. “What’s this one for?” he asked. I explained it was “a bit like the cruise control only instead of maintaining your speed, it sets it at a certain speed and doesn’t let you go any faster …. YOU HAVEN’T TOUCHED IT HAVE YOU !!!!!”
So, he managed to ‘fix’ the problem and we cancelled the mechanic. But I’m sure he would have been very good if he had been needed
That is why I'm looking specifically for motorhome cover. The best option so far is to rejoin CAMC and then buy Red Pennant cover which I know is about the best cover available. That will cost £264 total.Take a good look at the small print t&c's particularly limitations of length and weight of your van...

This was with green flag but is changing to AA from 1/3/22 I think.
Yep, change of provider but no new restrictions in terms of length or weight.
Yes, we used it when our clutch threw a wobbly in Croatia. Excellent service, quick and efficient, no quibbling, even kept ringing us to ensure everything was going well to our satisfaction.
What I actually meant was that there is no need to include breakdown cover when insuring either of our vehicles, so the premiums are cheaper
I worked out the cost and it was more expensive than CAMC with red pennant. With RAC we would still have to add health insurance which would have cost nearly £200 more. Red Pennant is all inclusive. We also found there are more CLs than CS's which we use far more than main sites, even though we mainly wild camp.
