We're off to France next week. Do we need any special breakdown insurance for a caravan?

If yes can anyone suggest any companies to try

We've got the usual car and caravan insurance and will book personal travel insurance.

Thanks

Marie

I will always take out Red Pennant insurance at the time of booking our holiday as it covers us for holiday cancellation as well as breakdown and personal travel.

We met some one this year who had a problem with his water heater. Red Pennant arranged to send out the spare part and if he was unable to fix the problem himself would arrange for some one to come and sort it for him

Do you have to be member of the Caravan Club to take out Red Pennant?

I think it is for members only, its not cheap, but it covers just about everything. As your name says. If you are new to this then you may consider membership. Have a look at the benefits on there web site. www.caravanclub.co.uk Go and have a look at their sites (Woodstock) and you can join there.
