just don't tell the RAC you have a big van, if you need to call them pretend you don't know and say nothing, they are not supposes to recover anything over 18ft but we have had the big un recovered before!

quite agree with the above

the AA used to have a seperate policy for vans, they are now covered my normal membership.


a couple of quid mean feck all when you`re stuck on the motorway 1.00am in the morning, pissing it down.

the AA also have limits on height and length. thought they picked up my jumbo no q`s asked.
jumbos do it standing up....

also, the RAC has a supplement for vans, yet say you are covered in any vehicle. So what part of any vehicle excludes vans?

mind you i was'nt aware that they won't recover over 18ft which was useful to know for the future in case i have a trailer :wink:
