French Couple Stranded Without Motorhome After COVID-19 Evacuation from Morocco

Jean-Jacques and his wife returned to France thanks to the first repatriation flights chartered for tourists stranded in Morocco due to the coronavirus pandemic. More than five months after their return, the couple is demanding their vehicle, abandoned in a parking lot in Agadir.

As soon as the first Covid-19 patients were recorded in Morocco, Jean-Jacques and his wife did not have the patience to wait for the ferries to board with their motorhome. They left Morocco on March 21, just 20 days after the registration of the first case of Covid-19. For the French tourist, his hasty return to the country was justified by his health concerns, reports lemondeducampingcar.fr.

His fellow unfortunates with whom he found himself stranded in the Kingdom have all returned with their vehicle, except for his. In this regard, Jean-Jacques has taken several steps for the repatriation of his motorhome. His insurer (an assistance company, more precisely) who is handling the file has invested fully without succeeding. The file for the repatriation of the vehicle transferred to Casablanca remained without follow-up due to the closure of the borders.

Desperate, Jean-Jacques agreed to have the vehicle moved from the campsite to a more secure garage. But he continues to despair. "What I want now is the repatriation of the motorhome, even if I have to participate in the costs. I’m afraid it will deteriorate, and I’d like to be able to use it. And then to know that it’s over there, it worries me. I don’t even know if it will be recoverable one day. We don’t know anything! In addition, I don’t even know exactly where it is," he says.
