looking for a "just in case" card

in Credit cards
Hi All,
I don't need a card for shopping or regular spending or balance transfers.
I did all that years ago!
Apart from my mortgage, the only money i owe is to Alliance and Leicester on a loan. And I am just about to give them 6k which will effectively leave me debt free (again, apart from mortgage)
My hobby is motorhoming, and i am looking for a credit card for those just in case moments, if the van breaks down, or i lose my purse, but also for a trip to Germany in July, where i think emergency money should be available.
What card would you advise?
ps we already have travel insurance cover

Was a 40 a day smoker for 20 years.
Decided to give up, and haven't had a fag for 12 years.
Halfway through losing six stone.
Looking forward to early retirement.

I know little about motor homing, however, I remember seeing this card. Could it be any benefit to you?0 -
