Anyway my question relates to what to do if you break down while towing. I have AAA and have added the RV option. We're full time so obviously however I wouldn't want the whole rig to go to the shop. I'd want the truck at the shop and the fifth wheel at a park somewhere close by.
Don't you love it? This group instantly jumps into a contest about which road service is best. They all have plenty of complaints against them.
To answer the question you actually asked;
When you call for service, make sure you let them know what it is you need them to tow. You might need 2 trucks to respond. Make sure you know and communicate what you expect, including where you want each unit towed. You might have to pay for one of the tows, if you want to split up your truck and fiver. Standing on the side of the road on your cell phone is not the time to be worrying about who is going to pay for what. Particularly when it is your home that will be towed away. If you and the service agent determine that you need two tow trucks, make it so and get off the highway.
