The cover provided by Nationwide is actually Britannia Rescue.
The list of vehicles excluded includes "motorhomes" and "caravanettes". However, our Bongo is unconverted and insured as a car etc so I think we should be fine.
The policy also states that "vehicles must be less than 7 metres long, 2.3 metres wide and 3 metres high" (which is more generous than most).
If we're unlucky enough to have to use the cover, I'll let you know how we get on!

Re: European Breakdown Cover - 2013 update
Just had a minor panic when our usual breakdown people - Autohome - said they wouldn't let us have cover for a France trip due soon. Because our beloved unconverted Bongo is older than 15 years. (Four kids, y'see)
None of the big name insurance companies online would help either. But our Bongo Insurance brokers Lifesure came to the rescue, organising European breakdown added to our cover (with Zurich, I think) for an extra fifty quid. Yeay!

Re: European Breakdown Cover - 2013 update
Mine is 17 years old and I got a weeks cover thru "2gether" via bongofury. £29 eoropean cover. I'm a yearly cross channeler and that is the cheapest in 6 years!! Similar cover to all the big names...
