Be warned that if you have roadside assitance coverage through your auto or
RV insurance policy, and have a lot claims, it can impact your car insurance
rates. On an older vehicle like a Vanagon this may be a consideration.  I
was told this once by an agent and treated it with skepticism, until I also
read it in a couple of articles such as this one on CNN:

http://money.cnn.com/2006/06/23/news/companies/towing_insurance/

Even though the chances are fairly minimal, roadside assitance from an auto
club (AAA, etc.) cannot increase your car insurance rates under any
circumstances.
