- justmeExplorerThe batteries went bad in my F350 diesel truck. I called Good Sam and the person showed up with an hour which I felt was ok. However, I made it clear to Good Sam that I had a diesel that required a more heavy jump start than a gas engine. The person showed up with small jump start thing that simply did not have the power to start the engine. I ended up having NAPA deliver me two batteries to install. Things were good after that. Next time I'll call NAPA for a jump start...
- neal10aExplorerI used Good Sam with a wheel bearing failure on I80 near Winnemucca, NV. They responded well and the problem was corrected as good as could be expected. The problem I have was the repair person over charged (scammed) me. After writing to Good Sam about the over-charge, I was reimbursed. Other than the hassle of getting my money, things worked out well.

https://coach-net.com/ - Stude55DogExplorerThanks for all the replies. I went with Good Sam for $80 something special for one year. Being first year and trip in 5ht wheel will see how it works out. Thanks again.
- lenrExplorer IIIBroke a spring once. Tied a block between the axle and frame, and drove slow to a motel. Next day got it fixed. That and one blown tire which I changed myself are the only problems in 13 years. Suggest using infrared gun to check tire and wheel temperatures and you will see a rise in temperature before most problems.
- Splashers3ExplorerGS Roadside Emergency Service is 0 for 2 with us....when we needed them most, they let us down and the call person was so unfamiliar with what a 5th wheel was. We are NOT renewing.....

Some road service will not cover you off paved road. - MarkTwainExplorer

Changing tires is one thing. When your trailer springs break, you need a flat bed truck to get your RV to get repaired. - 4x4ordExplorer IIII usually have enough blocks on the back of my truck to block an axle off the ground and change a tire if needed.

- md_procoupleExplorerWe have to disagree with the prior post about Chinese tires... We are on our 2nd set of Sailun Tires. Have not had any problems with them at all, 2 round trips across the country, and they were still going strong, Since the 5'er sits at least a month at a time, that's the reason I change them every 3 yrs, the set on the T/V is are 5 yrs old and still going as well. As far as roadside assistance, stay away from the **** that Good Sam sells. Had lost a wheel about a month ago, on our utility trailer at 1:00 AM, while going to NC. 4 hrs. after talking to 3 different people and waiting finally called me back and told us they could have someone there at 10:00 Am. We were only a mile from the nearest exit, that had towtrucks, according the State Police Officer that stoped. I canceled that "BAD SAM" policy on the spot.
