Keith, could you turn the steering wheel at all when it failed, I take it you could as you managed to place the caravan.
I hear what your saying from the dealer that the PAS module (Power Assisted Steering) caused the damage, but the design of PAS should be such that the PAS module failure should not prevent manual operation but requires much more effort of course and it certainly should cause total failure. If the dealer is not correct he may be saying things he shouldnt and if he is correct then there is a serious design flaw.
