Roadside coverage is non-negotiable
Before any extended RV trip, get RV-specific roadside coverage. Good Sam Roadside ($109/year) is the most popular for casual RVers. Coach-Net for full-timers. Generic AAA usually won't handle big RVs. One tow truck call without coverage can cost $1,500+. The annual fee pays for itself the first time you need help in the middle of nowhere.
