RVs are heavy-duty vehicles that often require special tow trucks in order for emergency roadside assistance to be rendered. Standard tow trucks are not typically able to render emergency roadside assistance if the vehicle needs to be towed, although minor emergencies like flat-tire repair or even jump-starts can be handled without the need for a heavy-duty truck. Nevertheless, it's important for RV owners to recognize that their vehicles sometimes require special services.

Getting Heavy-Duty Towing for RVs

Any driver in need of roadside assistance will need to be able to impart important information about their RV in order to receive the correct service. For example, a driver will need to instruct the towing company concerning what type of RV is in need of roadside rescue. Is it a traditional tour-bus RV? Is it a camper van? Is it a fifth wheel? The tow-truck company needs to know which type of vehicle has suffered a breakdown, so that it can decide what kind of heavy-duty tow truck to send for assistance.

As an auto-club member, a driver has the ability to impart that information to the auto club in an emergency and receive the appropriate roadside assistance from a nearby tow-truck company. That's because auto clubs partner with local emergency-roadside-assistance providers that they know have the proper equipment for specific tasks.
