So it’s high time to bring to the fore an important project that’s been on our list over here at Club 4X4 HQ for far too long.

Most of you reading this will know that one of the most compelling and valuable benefits in our Comprehensive Motor Insurance product is our Off-Road Recovery Cover. So much so that it’s imitated: other insurers and brokers try to say they have it on their websites and brochures, social pundits on Facebook incorrectly bang away at well-worn keyboards saying “my insurer told me I have and it and from anywhere…”. Believe me – NO ONE in the market has this product: period. But the purpose of this article is not to clue you up on this – if you want to know more you can read about that here.

For some time we’ve been compiling a list of the various towing/recovery specialists across the countryside who would be a resource should you need to have a remote recovery undertaken. Not one who likes to do things in halves, I didn’t want to release anything unless I knew it was as complete as possible. The other concern is that the product we offer doesn’t promise recovery, it promises financial recompense for the recovery that you organise. As such it’s a fine line making recommendations or even finding ourselves in a situation where we cannot recommend anyone because we don’t know anyone in the area.

But today I’ve bitten the bullet, particularly after some feedback over the last week or so. So, this is where you experiences and expertise come into play you can help us build on our list by commenting below with the recovery agents you know of or have used in the past. If you’re a recovery agent yourself – send an email to contactus@club4x4.com.au and attention your email to me and we can talk more.

I am relying on the little community we have here to help me complete this important list and your input will benefit everyone in the long run – whether you have coverage with Club 4X4 or not this will be an important resource for ALL four wheel drivers and I want to get it right.

So get cracking – I expect many comments below

Happy Touring and cheers in advance for helping out your community!

What Tyres Does Your Caravan REALLY Need

There’s no shortage of opinions on what tyres your caravan should be running. You’ve probably heard everything from “just match your tow rig” to “it doesn’t matter, they’re not even driven wheels.” Like most things in the touring world, the truth sits somewhere between bush logic and engineer-speak.
