I knew this request would be forthcoming, so I armed myself with the card I
usually keep in the glove box.  Here's the info for everyone to use as they
see fit:

Rapid Response Roadservice Motor Club, Inc.
275 E. Hillcrest Drive, Suite 204
Thousand Oaks, California, 91360
1-800-777-4869 (1-800-RRR-4-TOW)

Currently we pay $70 per year for our truck, trailer, and Jeep.  Note that I
have no connection to this company, other than being a satisfied customer.
