I dread the thought of breaking down. I am very proactive with maintenance but you can't prevent everything. It only takes one idiot to not see you and then it's over. It doesn't take much to trash a motorhome. My wife is in a wheelchair. If we break down, my problems begin with wondering how I would get her out considering the lift extends out about 6' and 4' for a wheelchair. If i manage to end up next to a nice flat level area fine, but just about all road edges slope down from the break down lane. Tow trucks won't tow with someone inside so she needs to come out. If blocked, will have to call 911 to have someone help me carry her out and back into her wheelchair so we can get into toad. The other choice is to not RV at all. The older I get, the more I worry. I laugh now at my youthful ignorance when we used to take 1K+ trips without a toad. Now I wish I could two 3 of them.
