FYI Further to recent discussion I can confirm that your standard RAC cover does NOT cover trailer breakdowns... But if you join the Camping & Caravaning Club Basically it nets out at about and extra £20 to get your trailer covered ... I think that is worth it ... |

The one time I had a trailer problem (tyre blowout and no spare in the car doh!) the RAC did come to my rescue and I had basic roadside cover. I think they only came though as I played the lone female, at night, on motorway hard shoulder card. Supplied a new tyre (at a price obviously) and was on my way again after a tour of birmingham in the repair truck when we went to get the tyre.

I had a wtyre blow out on M4 on a bank holiday with my Albacore, not funny. The RAC said trailor isnt covered but gave me some numbers of helpfull recovery firms (only 1 out of 20 would help) They said it would cost £200 to get to service 4 miles down the road or £500 to get home!!!!!!! I went services route. My brother buggered off in the car because he had to be home and then i had to wait 5 hours for my dad to get from his house in bath to my house in Cheltenham Back up to and early junction on M4 Then to tow me home again!! Moral of the story dont let your brother pack the spare trailor wheel!! ( he didnt)

I have a brand new spare tyre for my Laser road base. I got it with my road base off good old Ebay. Hasn't let me down yet, but I know I have a spare if needed and the tools to change it (As it isn't the same as your car!) Moral of the POST is - Carry a spare and the tools needed in your boot at all times, then you can't loose it. |

Saga recovery, who take pity on the elderley, have recovered car and boat after car breakdown and delivered boat to Grafham from M1 after trailer breakdown. We drove the car.

... are you sure. Many cover the trailer in the event of needing recovery if the car breaksdown ... but if you problem is caused by a trailer failure then your not covered with many (and Direct LIne is just RAC rebranded I think ...) |

I work for the RAC and can confirm that unles you get camping and caravan cover your trailer will not be covered.We will however come out too you as a courtesy and take the trailer to a local place of safety or repair or arrange a recovery at a price. 0-25 £100 26-50 £150 51-75 £200 76-100 £250 101-125 £300 126-150 £350 151-175 £400 176-200 £450 201-225 £500 226-250 £550 251-275 £600
IF DESTINATION EXCEEDS 275 MILES ADD £50 FOR EVERY 25 MILES The numbers on the left are mileage and apply to cars that don't have relevant recovery policy ie.yor car needs recovery over 10 miles and you only have basic cover.Hope this helps. |

Not sure if that's true. Trouble is, even if you had one, would you want to change the wheel yourself at the side of the M4?  Edited by Philsy |

you can then have RAC Arrival Cover which gets a discount and covers the trailer.|
