What emergency road equipment do you carry?

With Dash Cam's do your research, you do get what you pay for. A couple things to consider,
1.batteries don't do well in the sun, so get one with a capacitor, instead of a battery,
2 plastic cases tend to warp, if left on the windshield in the sun, so depending on how it's being used, a metal case may be a good option.

One last thing, there are a lot of counterfeit models out there so check out the seller, and make sure what you are getting has the correct processor, and sensor.
Black Box G1-WC is a good choice for an inexpensive Dash Cam $60 to $75 on Amazon. It is the copacitor model, but is plastic. It is pretty much the number 1 rated inexpensive dash cam.

Will Geico tow an RV? That is one of the most important Emergency service to have. Even AAA RV Plus will not tow in all states.
Good Sam ERS, or Coachnet are two of the best. They both have different levels of towing service, but both cover all family vehicles.

FYI-We use GEICO and they respond well. Jumper cables, duck tape, fuses, axe, heavy clothing and shoes. The usual small multipurpose tool kit. Gloves, both work and rubber. The previous poster mentioned lack of room and that's so true. Sure I'd like to carry a come-along and shovel and pump and etc and etc. Got to set the priorities. I don't even have room for extra sheets or another blanket.

I have a Blueskysea G1W-C Car Dash Camera in all three of the vehicles I drive.

Found them on Amazon for under $60.

They record to microSD card, and you can get about 16 hours before they start recording over older clips.

The cameras have a G sensor which will lock footage preventing erasure if the camera experiences anything over 3 Gs.

You can see the quality I get with these cameras in the video at https://vimeo.com/113846350

What else should we be carrying for emergency road situations?

Jumper cables, air compressor, basic tool kit, extra fuses for chassis, tire air gauge, powerful flashlight and extra batteries, cell phone charger, dash cam, extra drinking water, leather gloves, first aid kit, rain poncho, extra set of keys, bungee cords, roll of duct tape.

Does "Fix-a Flat" have enough power to deal with a large 60 psi tire?

You would need at least 2 Fix-A-Flat cans.

I carry several, of the size that says it is for large SUVs.

I really don't know if it would work. It works on my bicycle....

I also carry a full sized spare. And maybe a donut as well.

Only Verizon is everywhere there are cell towers. I know this because I have T-Mobile and when we are in the Sierra's we often do not have coverage but Verizon does. There are also many places where there is no cell coverage period.

Yes. We were at Yellowstone last summer. I had read reviews saying cell phones didnt work, no WIFI. But at check-in I heard a woman ask if there was cell reception and she said "Yes, if you have Verizon". We had good cell and using our hotspot on Verizon had computer access as well.
