Emergency Plans Cover Problems Towing a Camper

Unfortunately, there are a variety of roadside breakdown issues that can come up while towing a camper that require the work of a mechanic or a part fix. Some common issues include:

• Losing power to the directional and brake lights on a towing camper
• Flat tires
• Damage to the hitch from an accident or incorrect hook-up

In the event of an issue that requires service, drivers want to have a 24-hour roadside assistance plan. Coverage should be provided in any location, whether it’s the side of the road or a campground. The plan must extend to the towing vehicle in the event that the problem is not with the camper.
