AAA -RV Plus far superior to GS

I have used AAA, Coachnet and GS. My experience over 20+ years of RVing:

AAA would respond quicker and the people manning the phones were efficient and better trained. But, AAA would send the wrong equipment for my trailer (5th wheel) when it needed to be towed.

Coachnet was adequate in all respects.

I've used GS platinum for the last couple years. I have needed 1 tow for personal car, 3 tire changes and a lockout. In every case, the people manning the phones appeared poorly trained and took MUCH longer gathering information than they should need. The tow was pretty quick (40 minutes) but confusing. 2 different tow companies called and gave 2 different response times (both high) and another company just showed up in 30 minutes. All of the tire changes were terrible (2 trailer one truck). They all were in very populated areas of Orange County, CA. They always sent someone from 30-60 miles away and it took 90-120+ minutes. The last one kept calling back with increased wait time and I just canceled it and changed the tire myself. Not happy with GS.

Good Sam Roadside Service offers two coverage plans “Standard” and “Platinum”. With the “Standard” plan, all your household vehicles are covered, including cars. According to the history few of us have bad experiences with aaa. But at the same time few members use to prefare this only.

And that is why I switched to Good Sam. Good Sam was also cheaper that CAA RV coverage.

When we bought our MH 3 years ago I checked on coverage with AAA and GS. It was definitely not cheaper.

wesdevoe, thank you for your post. We value your input, and, as a result of communications such as yours, we intensely focus on identifying any service failures that may have occurred, and we focus on process improvements which will result in a better RV experience for you, our member. I have sent you a private message and I am looking forward to the opportunity to talk with you to learn about the full details and full extent of our failure to meet your expectations. Thank you for your membership, Frank

Recent history has had two less than happy experiences with aaa, changed to coach net and did not like the total lack of response on my first stuck on the highway call. I now have good Sam, have had two calls in the last three years and have no complaints....yet. Think I'll stick with gs for a while.

Just remember, your AAA coverage will vary by the state you are in.
Some states do not cover RVs.

I never had good luck with AAA, dropping them over 10 years ago. Have had very good service from Good Sam with response service always under 45 minutes! Two tows and 3 tires over the years no complaints!
