Whether the trip is just starting near Bristol or already well down the M5 toward Devon, K9 sends the nearest of 3,000 vetted drivers with a truck sized to the caravan or motorhome involved. The price is settled on WhatsApp before anyone leaves, and the phone is answered around the clock.
Caravan and motorhome recovery around Bristol
Bristol sits right on the main holiday route down to Devon and Cornwall, so a caravan or motorhome that breaks down on the M5 is a regular call, alongside trips that start closer to home around Clevedon or Portishead. K9 sends the nearest of 3,000 vetted drivers nationwide rather than relying on a single depot, so help reaches the M5, the M49 or the coast road just as quickly.
The right truck for the unit
A motorhome anywhere from three and a half to seven and a half tonnes needs its weight, length and height given at the time of booking, since this decides between a flatbed and a heavier transporter. A caravan with a blown tyre, a bent A-frame or a hitch that has sheared can be loaded flat or towed on, provided the tow vehicle has the correct hitch and electrics.

Low routes and tight turns in the city
Central Bristol has underground car parks, low bridges and narrow turns that a tall motorhome simply cannot use, so a route around the M32 and the Portway is planned rather than cutting straight through town. This matters more for a motorhome than a caravan, since the caravan can usually be unhitched before the awkward stretch.
Heading toward Devon, Cornwall and Somerset
The M5 toward Devon and Cornwall, the A303 cutting into Somerset, and the coast road past Burnham on Sea and Weston super Mare are all common breakdown routes, usually an overheated tow car, a blown tyre or a trailer that has started to snake. The car and the caravan can often be recovered together on the same trip.
- A motorhome recovered from the M5 near junction twenty one
- A caravan with a blown tyre loaded near Weston super Mare
- A campervan towed in after a brake failure near Portishead
- A touring caravan delivered to storage from a site near Clevedon
- A horsebox collected from a showground near Bristol for a repair
Storage runs through the seasons
As summer trips wind down, plenty of owners book a straightforward move into winter storage rather than a breakdown recovery, and K9 handles both on the same booking process. Spring brings the opposite job, bringing a unit out of storage ahead of the first trip of the year.
Weight and height details before the driver sets off
A rough weight, the overall length and the height of the unit help the dispatcher choose between a flatbed and a larger transporter before a driver leaves Bristol. These figures usually sit on the manufacturer plate near the door or on the registration document, and a photo of either sent over WhatsApp is often the quickest way to confirm them before anyone sets off along the M5.
Beyond the Bristol area
For touring breakdowns further along the route, the main caravan and motorhome recovery page explains the same approach nationwide, and vehicle recovery in Bristol covers general cars and vans.
Booking a recovery in a few simple steps
A message on WhatsApp with the make and rough size of the caravan or motorhome, the location and a short description of the fault is usually enough for the dispatcher to work out which driver and truck suit the job. Photos of a damaged hitch or a flat tyre, sent before the driver leaves, often save a repeat question once he arrives somewhere like the M5 or the coast road near Portishead. A price is agreed from that information and confirmed before anyone sets off, so there is nothing left to negotiate once the unit is finally loaded.

Questions we hear around Bristol
Can a motorhome be recovered from the M5 at night
Yes, calls are taken and drivers dispatched through the night as well as the day, with the usual safety checks for working on a live motorway.
What if the caravan needs to go into storage rather than home
That is a normal booking rather than an emergency one. The driver simply needs the storage site address alongside the usual weight and length details.
Is the cost confirmed before the driver leaves
Yes, the figure is worked out on WhatsApp once the unit, the fault and the destination are known, and it is agreed before anyone is dispatched.
Can K9 collect a caravan from a dealer rather than recover a breakdown
Yes, a straightforward collection from a dealer or showground near Bristol uses the same booking process, just arranged for a convenient time rather than as an emergency.
Can a caravan be recovered after an accident rather than a fault
Yes, provided it is safe to approach and nobody needs urgent medical help first, the same network handles accident recoveries around Bristol in the same way as breakdowns.
