AAA, though I have considered that the frequency of my needing a tow (two times in the 40 years that I have been a AAA member) means that they have really profited from me. When I got the camper I determined that the likelihood of a breakdown a good long distance from a shop or home was multiplied several fold. Still, only one of the tows was for the camper, and that when I first bought it. And yes, it is pertinent to the list. Our vehicles are old, and therefore prone to break. DMc
