A motor-vehicle breakdown can occur anywhere and at any time, which is why emergency roadside assistance is so important for drivers. In most circumstances, however, drivers don't have access to fast, affordable, dependable roadside assistance unless they are members of an auto club. Auto clubs offer 24-hour emergency roadside assistance to all members throughout the country, even on holidays.

Emergency Roadside Assistance

A car or RV that isn't properly maintained is far more likely to suffer from a breakdown, which is why it's so important for drivers to take care of their vehicles. Change the oil, replace the filters, keep the tank full and make sure your tires are at the correct pressure. It's also a good idea to change the battery every five years or so to ensure that it doesn't become a liability, especially before a big vacation.

Drivers with fifth wheels also need access to emergency roadside assistance, not just for their RVs, but also for their towing vehicles. Any driver with a fifth wheel should consider only those auto clubs that cover both types of vehicles in an emergency or breakdown. Fifth wheels require special equipment, both for actual emergency transport to service stations and for roadside repairs to fifth-wheel couplings.

Good Sam RV Roadside Assistance offers emergency roadside assistance to owners of RVs and fifth wheels as well as car owners, providing auto club benefits through Affinity Road & Travel Club, Inc.
