We spend 3-4 months on the road. You can not plan for all possible problems. In August, we were happily driving down the road when our truck caught on fire and destroyed our truck and trailer. We were 1,800 miles from home. It was a fluke and couldn't be predicted. The Illinois Highway patrol, local fire fire fighters and our insurance company were a God-send in getting us going again. If you have medical and vehicle insurance, you should be able to weather any type of mishap and move forward. You might also have a plan in place in case of an expensive mechanical breakdown. Here's a picture of our rig burning up along side the highway.
