If Truck is towed, what happens to the TT ?

If your truck is towed away because of issues, what happens to the travel trailer ? Is there an extra charge to take it to a nearby campground or wherever with Good Sam Roadside Assistance? We are traveling cross country this year and want to make sure we have the right towing package. Is this the best roadside assistance plan for vehicles with travel trailers? Thanks in advance.

    If they send 2 trucks, that will usually accommodate 4 people. More...yeah, need a car.
  • Good Sam Roadside Assistance would dispatch a service vehicle to take extra passengers from the scene of disablement if needed.

  • AAA roadside with rv coverage says they will also tow both. Haven't tried it yet, hoping not to.
  • Which is a big difference from most automotive roadside service policies
  • My tow vehicle is a 4x4, and while I haven't had this one towed yet, it's pretty typical they will flat-bed tow a 4x4, and every flat bed tow truck I have seen also has a receiver hitch, so really shouldn't be a big problem for them to tow a bumper pull trailer. That said, a 5th wheel, they would likely have to dispatch 2 trucks, not sure what happens then, I would be curious to know too.

    Hello Akronharry - Thanks for your post. Good Sam Roadside would tie both vehicles in this example, either by "tow in tandem" or by dispatching 2 service trucks to facilitate the tow.

    Hope that helps!
