We have both GS and AAA. On the NJ Turnpike I was having issues and we only had AAA. He wouldn't take the trailer with the tv. I limped off the highway under my own power and limped home. I certainly hope that GS will be better. The only other alternative is to call police and ask what tow service they use and pay the bill. GS is linked to CW and lately CW has had lots of issues when ordering anything online. I wonder if they are having money issues....
If you're towing a trailer and have an issue with your tow vehicle, beware. I've posted this before, but it bears repeating ...
Last summer we had an issue with our tow vehicle. It needed repair, and we couldn't tow our trailer out of our campsite, much less the 125 miles home. Called GSRA, and they said they wouldn't help because towing the trailer anywhere would be considered a "courtesy tow", as there was nothing wrong with the trailer.
We still carried AAA, with the RV/motorcycle rider, and called them. Not only did they tow our trailer out of the campground, but they actually sent a huge wrecker that towed it all the way home -- 125 miles -- for $75 (they have a 100 limit for free towing). AND the guy backed it into our storage lot. Needless to say, we cancelled GSRA and got a refund.
GSRA might be good, given the right conditions. We didn't want to take that chance again. AAA, with the RV/motorcycle rider, will be our roadside assistance company as long as we continue to travel short distances along the West Coast. When we're able to hit the road more extensively, CoachNet will probably get our business.
