What emergency road equipment do you carry?

I carry a come-along. Have thought about getting a tow strap. How does a hi-lo jack substitute for a come-along???

I have my AAA card which I have used several times both at home and while on the road. It is my comfort blanket, my sense of security while traveling alone. I dont travel at night for safety reasons as well as by preference.
I had one of those jump start things but after getting my priority one battery protector I realized I didnt need it (and it took up room) I passed it on to my DH.
I have one of those Retrofit Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems installed and, I got a Heavy Duty Tire Inflator. I have a usable spare tire that AAA can change if needed.
My RVan got stuck in the mud at my campsite had to be pulled out by another camper with a 4 wheel. I dont boondock.
I do think I should get a big HELP sign one with magnetic attachment just in case I find myself broken down or whatever without cell service. When traveling alone I stay on major highways.

Both times we have been in trouble, there has been no cell phone service. Maybe I should add a carrier pigeon for my ERS card?

Most of the repondents here are in big rigs -- A's and C's. In them I also had a bunch of "just in case" tools. But in a B there isn't much room for stuff you likely won't use.

So my toolbox now is smaller and a lot more basic. After the Duct Tape and WD40, and the camp hatchet, it's pretty much Coach-Net time.

I carry 2 boat cushions. Makes it easier to kneel on when working on the coach especially when you are on gravel,wet grass,mud, or hooking up you tow dolly. Buy cheap ones at China Mart!

Whether you have ERS or not I found you NEED to alert other drivers when you are off on the side of the road. Cones do not stay up and usually will just get blown away from the first truck driving by.

I have 2 sets of these on board the MH. Heavy weighted, DOT approved.

I also have two sets of these. Very important.

10 ton bottle jack, 5 foot steel pipe I can attach to my lug but wrench or use for other things. Shovel, tow strap, Ruger 9 MM, air pump, 2 fifteen year old teenagers (they can do the grunt work).

You're not prepared for an emergency unless you have a roll of Duct Tape. ;)

I have everything loggenrock has, except I carry a Hi-Lift jack and its various accessories instead of the come along. I also carry various sized shackles, hitch adapters and a couple recovery strap dampers. I have a heavy-duty jump starter and heavy-duty jumper cables. I have used all of this stuff at one time or another for extracting and helping other people. All I have used for myself is the jump starter and jumper cables.
