Howdy, Figured there might be some members from British Columbia that could answer a question for me. New to RV'ing, and although I have had BCAA coverage for my daily driver, I've never had to use it when in the US. I just added the RV Plus coverage, since I recently bought a motorhome.If you have the BCAA-RV coverage, and you have a break down, while travelling in the USA, I gather AAA will look after you, as part of the BCAA plan. Does AAA provide good, and reasonably quick service to BCAA members, as they would their own members? Do they try and stick you for extra costs that would normally be covered under your BCAA plan, or anything else I should be forewarned about?Thanks

Howdy ac...welcome. I have the RV Premium because of it's extended mileage tow package. Depending on your habits, it might be worth considering. As far as AAA response, I can't comment other than to say that I would bet hands down that they are right on the money with their service. Best of all? if you it's not to your liking you can call BCAA and get heard.Gary Haupt

Hi we have BCAA RV this past October we blew a tire on the TH on I-5 in California. The tire shredded itself and wrapped around the axel. I was unable to get it off to change it myself. A Calif. State patrol officier had stopped to see if we needed help. He called the local AAA for us. They were there withinthe hour changed the tire and no charge to us. We have also used it on car in the past. We are happy withthem. Good luck Bob

Late one night - 11 pm - driving north on Washington's I-5, both dualies went flat on the left side. I managed to pull off on an exit ramp. Checked the tires and both were goners. Called AAA. A tow truck arrived before midnight, loaded the Class C on its flat deck, drove me to a local tire shop, dropped me in the parking lot, and went on his way. I slept until morning. Tire shop had me on my way before noon.Excellent service from AAA, of which BCAA is an affiliate. No different than using any of the Canadian affiliates.

Thanks for the replies. Great, sounds like I will be good to go, when travelling in the US. I was hoping that I wouldn't need to supplement it with another roadside assistance plan, just for trips down south.

A further note about BCAA Premium, you can also get free passport pics. You need those for passage into the US, eh. Gary Haupt

Call me paranoid but I carry two different emergency roadside coverage services. One is the coverage that comes as part of my regular rv insurance and the other is Good Sam's.

There are many states where they do not provide coverage for an RV. There are really only 2 road service companies that can handle RV's anywhere in Canada and the USA: Good Sam and Coach Net. Does your road service give you unlimited mileage. If the nearest facility is 200 miles away will they tow you?

Well, THAT put the fear into me, so I called BCAA. The coverage is ALL of North America. Period. If I am 200 miles from a service centre, that is where I am..they are still coming. And yes, they will tow me because I have 2 tows each @320 k's.
