I never thought of Saga !!

What did it cost you ?

I am with Glynnwood, unlimited camper insurance at £170 but that doesn't include breakdown recovery anywhere.

I fancy a trip to France this year, I wonder where is the best place to get recovery cover just for that trip - anyone ?
Got a new van, but it's a 165bhp T4 [shock horror] Accurate LPG Station map here

never thought of them? the first item of post to arrive on my 50th birthday was from them! Saga magazine plus lots of adverts for services they sell.

Haven't got round to insuring with them though. I'll try them this year.
