Just thought I'd fill in the gaps for people that dont know how CAA works. The packages available (that apply to us) are as follows:
CAA Basic:
Towing- 5km
Extrication- 1 truck (if you need two tow trucks to get you, thats extra)
Free delivery of gas (YOU pay for the gas)
CAA Plus
Towing- 200km
Extrication- 2 trucks
Free gas and delivery
Up to $2500 credit card insurance
CAA Plus RV- Same as CAA Plus but they cover you if you are towing a trailer. We got stranded in Manitoba enroute to BC and lost a wheel off the trailer, they basically told us "sorry bout yer luck".
"Your CAA Plus roadside benefits become active 7 days following join up or upgrade."
On top of what you see in the list, they will give you what you need 4 times, ie: if you run out of gas they will save your sorry ass 4 times, or give you 4 tows at a max of 200km each (PLUS only) or fix a flat 4 times or any combination of any incident described above.
CAA Membership Covers "You"
Emergency Road Services will be provided exclusively to CAA Members at the breakdown location provided they present their valid membership card (other identification, e.g. driver's licence, may be required). A spouse or dependant living in the Primary Member's household is eligible for a CAA Associate membership, with full road service privileges, at a reduced fee. Your membership, and hence your access to Emergency Road Service, is personal and therefore not transferable.
Eligible Vehicles
Service applies to all properly licensed four-wheeled motor driven vehicles of the passenger, pleasure or recreational type (vans, campers and motor homes), if those services can be safely performed.
Dual-wheeled, unloaded pickup trucks are eligible for all services except tire service. Rented passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles (except taxis and limousines) are also eligible for service. In instances when your vehicle becomes disabled while towing a light duty trailer, service will be provided for the trailer (excludes fifth-wheel trailers). You may be required to pay for trailer towing. Dual-wheel campers/motor homes are eligible for all services except towing, extrication/winching and tire service.
CAA Plus RV Members are eligible to receive all emergency road services including the exceptions listed above (other than taxis and limousines).
It's not that expensive and it could save your ass. Having your zook towed once usually will cover the cost of your membership. For more info check out the CAA website:

I recommend talking to your CAA sales rep for EXACT DETAILS ! The website isnt too specific.
