Hi All
We have bought a motorhome, LH drive, which we pick up from Kent to head to Europe for 6 or more months.
Our dealer suggested HIC insurance Walkabout policy as you don't need a fixed address, suitable for Australians,etc.
He also suggested Downunder Insurance, which is OK as the vehicle will be in Adele's name and she is under 60. (Cut off is 65 apparently).
Has anyone had any experience, or would they like to comment, perhaps with pitfalls to look out for, such as towing distances may be limited.
There are a few other questions too re personal travel insurance and VISAs on the go, but will post under separate topic.
Cheers and thanks in anticipation

Yes, towing distance is one issue. Make sure that breakdown cover includes your weight/lenghth - particularly a problem if you are over 3500kg. It's worth getting 'legal protection' then if are unfortunate enough to have a crash or other incident which you are not at fault you have someone to fight your case (for a cost of about £20.00. Check you have adequate windscreen cover - especially important if you are buying an A-class.
It's worth noting that if you vehicle is stolen using your keys it's unlikely the insurance will pay out - unless there are particular circumstances in which no blame at all can be passed to you.
