No road side Assistance! Blow out on interstate!

This past Sunday we had a serious tire blow out on the Dollie that was towing our car. We were on I-65 in Ala. ! My husband pulled our Mtr. Home and rig as far off road as was possible but we were in a dangerous position. I immediately called Good Sam emergency service. I explained our immediate need and told them we needed someone to tow our Dollie to the nearest service center., (realizing it would probably be closed due to being late Sunday afternoon.) and that we would camp nearby until a new tire could be installed. This blow out also ripped thru our fender. I was horrified to be told we do not tow trailers! I explained again that we were stranded on side of highway and needed help. He apologized but again offered little help. He said he would try to find a tire vendor and he would call back within 20 min. Good Sam never assisted us.
I spoke to a customer agent today and was told our premiere package did not cover trailer tow! I refused to accept this answer and asked to speak to a supervisor. He was nice but firm so was I. After putting me on hold for a long time he returned and apologized saying indeed our policy did I cover our Dollie! He apologized profusely.
If Ala. Highway Patrol had no come to our aid I do not what we would have done!
Your dispatch employees need to be familiar with a Dollie Tow! They kept referring to us as a trailer! And said that was why it was not covered! We are canceling our policy and feel blessed to have received help from Hwy. Patrol.
  • Good Evening Campncouple, I do apologize for your experience. I would like to escalate your post to our executive desk for further investigation. Would you please send us a private message with your membership number and a good contact so I can escalate this for you.

    Thank you...Rudy, Good Sam Response team
