Arrow ADAC European breakdown services - any experiences?

We are pondering the possibility of wintering in our touring caravan in Southern Europe for a month or three.

Does anyone have any experience of the ADAC breakdown/health service - I know that the AA are their UK agents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADAC

What about their health cover?

What about language difficulties being that they are a German outfit ( I don't speak German )?
Their web site is in German.

Being that we would be towing with our 1999 V70 there appear to be considerable advantages for drivers of older vehicles abroad in the event of serious breakdown.

On our trip to France this year we took the easy option of the C&CC breakdown & health insurance scheme but I realize that it possibly compromised vehicle recovery of a 1999 car in the event of a serious breakdown ( AIUI and according to T & C's ).
This is one of my main concerns - our recovery cost was limited to value of vehicle.

ADAC are also much cheaper.

I understand UK classic and vintage car visitors to Europe use ADAC and don't have any breakdown worries due to non restrictive recovery policies for older cars.

Any opinions welcome.

Colin
