T: Highway breakdowns don't worry me much because cell service and
towing are not far away.

But I am a-scairt to have the van blow a coolant line or fitting while
in the backcountry, ferrying Mrs Elliott to a beautiful but remote
camping site.

So I got one of them blingy aluminum ones. An outrageous expense.

And if somone posts a link to a reasonably-priced alternative I will
feel sad.
