Mechanical breakdowns:

Tire problems:
Flat tires or blowouts can be especially dangerous with a caravan, and changing a tire can be challenging without the right tools and equipment. Roadside assistance can provide tire change services or towing to a repair shop.
Battery problems:
Caravans often have additional electrical systems that can put a strain on the battery. Roadside assistance can provide jump-start services or towing to a repair shop for battery replacement.
