Red Pennant - Caravan Servicing

LLM - Thanks. You quite rightly say that the only thing that matters is what is in Red Pennant's terms and conditions. On that basis I am seriously considering moving over to C&CC's Arrival breakdown service. At least then I won't have any hassle about whether or not the car or caravan servicing meets their requirements. And as an added bonus it appears to be cheaper than RP. A double win!

Burgundy - Thank you. That is helpful. I will have a look at the check sheet. 

Stato, I would always prefer to have a clause included in the terms then it is clear what you are dealing with.  In any event, regardless of whether servicing is mentioned you must ensure the vehicle is roadworthy.  

From memory the Nationwide plan with AA does not include Caravan within their definition of vehicle so does not have a service requirement. The towing vehicle does as per Peedee's post further upthread. Document currently in Caravan so am willing to be corrected.

How many people carry all their servicing history with them? I certainly don't. It lives in a box file at home.

You wouldn't need them on the spot CY, maybe only to back up a claim. Caravans are covered by Nationwide but as WN says there does not seem to be a requirement for them to be serviced

I think that the clubs Red Pennant is ensuring (the only way they can), that the caravan is in a roadworthy condition, as they have no other way of telling.

Who carries out the servicing can be debated, but documentation would probably be required if one was to make a claim.

Cyberyacht - You are quite correct. And I have no intention of using a breakdown service that needs me to "back up a claim" when I get home. Absolutely no way.

Lagerorwine - That, of course, is Red Pennant's perogative. If that is the route they want to go down then I will happily move elsewhere. It seems the majority of breakdown services (like the Club's own Mayday for example) do not need you to prove a caravan has been serviced according to the manufacturers specifications. 

Funny thing, of course, is that we still don't know whether or not RP require the caravan to be serviced. Perhaps they are still thinking about it. Even though its in the T&Cs!

Tammygirl - You mentioned in an earlier post that you reported this thread to the Club. I was wondering, did you ever get any sort of response?

Incidentially, before I started this thread I "reached out" to one of the RP managers with the intention of asking them about the servicing requirement for RP policies. I was advised that a RP manager would contact me the following week. Unfortunately I never heard anything.
