I have wandered freely for nigh on 60 years without Roadside assistance. Broke the lugs off on a wheel and had to fix it but keeps life interesting. Not even sure what travel assist is. Do they push you down the road? I am a Disabled Vet so can get medical care 24-7 anywhere I want or need. I'd buy something besides Good Sam who sends me junk mail to my AOL address by snail mail. Go figure. They waste millions on advertising every month sending out c r a p. I never read it, but get 1 addressed to me, 1 to my wife and 1 to my aol.
