Broken-Down Motorhome near Hayle? Specialist Recovery
If your motorhome's broken down on the A30 near Hayle mid-holiday, the last thing you need is an operator turning up with a car-only truck and refusing the job. We're licensed and rated for vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes — typical motorhome recovery without the "we can't take that" call.
24/7 dispatch from our Redruth base
What to do right now
- 1Get the vehicle off the road if possible — laybys and pub car parks are usually fine short-term
- 2Note the unladen and gross weight from the V5 — affects which truck we dispatch
- 3Check whether your motorhome's recovery cover includes the weight bracket (many car-only policies don't)
- 4If on a campsite, alert the warden — they often have a preferred recovery access route
Why this matters in Hayle
Local detail matters here: Hayle is a former industrial port town on Cornwall's north coast, with the A30 carrying most of the traffic and Hayle Towans a recognisable waypoint for drivers describing where they've broken down.
Hayle's B3301 corridor and the lanes off Paradise Park make up the bulk of our patch here — if you've broken down near A30 Hayle bypass or Copperhouse, dispatch is straightforward.
What NOT to do
- Don't accept recovery from a car-only operator — overloading is illegal and damages the truck
- Don't try to tow a motorhome with a 4x4 — they're built for car towing weights
- Don't ignore a fault and try to limp home from a Cornwall holiday — breakdowns in Devon/Somerset return-route are even more expensive
- Don't park a broken motorhome on a beach access road — Highways will move it at owner cost

What affects the cost

FAQs — motorhome recovery in Hayle
Can you recover a 6-tonne motorhome from Hayle back to my home in Devon or Somerset?▼
Yes — long-distance motorhome recovery from Hayle to Devon, Somerset, or further is one of our regular jobs in summer. Cost is mileage-based; we'll quote before dispatch so you can compare with your insurer's offer.
What's the weight limit?▼
We're rated to 7.5t gross. The vast majority of motorhomes (Transit, Sprinter, Ducato chassis) come in well under that. Larger coachbuilt A-class motorhomes over 7.5t need a different operator — we'll refer you if it's beyond our spec.
Can you store my motorhome while it's being repaired?▼
Secure overnight storage at our Redruth yard for short stays. Longer storage (weeks while waiting for parts) we can arrange via a partner site. Many motorhome insurances cover storage costs after a breakdown.
What if I'm in a campsite and the access is tight?▼
We recover from campsites regularly — including narrow approaches. Tell us the campsite name and we'll often know the access. Worst case, we recover to the campsite gate using winch line.
