On our way home after a very enjoyable tour around the Rhine and Mosel in our Hobby 700, we were parked in a motorway aire having breakfast when we were hit by an unmanned 16 wheel HGV.
The driver went in to pay for his diesel and had not applied the handbrake when his lorry decided to trundle down the hill and smash into our van.
A rather traumatic experience indeed but not as traumatic as us discovering our insurance company would only arrange to bring the M/H back to the UK but not us.
Our European breakdown cover (ADAC) would only pay 200 euros towards any recovery and the bill to take the M/H from the aire to the local recovery depot was over 2000 euros !
We thought we had every aspect of every possible incident covered but this episode proves how wrong we were.
The reason for this post is to ask other members if they can recommend a good insurance company that provides comprehensive repatriation from Europe of both M/H and occupants in the event of an accident/breakdown.
