RVing from Ontario to New York State - do i need RSA?

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and very excited to share stories and fun facts! We are preparing to go on a road trip from Ontario throughout the New York State and wondered if we already have CAA do we need to also have RSA? I'm assuming yes, and if that is the case, can we just get RSA for a period of 14 days, rather than have to subscribe for the whole year? Please advise :)
  • You need to compare the policies side by side.
    Does CAA have a limit on distance they tow? Will they tow your RV and tow vehicle, or toad?

    Check everything offered by Good Sam before you decide. Hopefully you won't need it but, towing a RV can get expensive.
  • The problem is AAA in New York who is the entity that will service your needs is that there are two different clubs depending on which county you are in.
    AAA is regional and the rules are different for each region.
    AAA Central and Western NY has no specific RV coverage level it is an add on.
    You may find you are not covered when off a paved road.
    You may find if you have a travel trailer and the tow vehicle breaks down no provision will be made for towing of your trailer.
    It is nice if CAA will cover you through AAA in the USA BUT the execution will be the problem.
  • I would check with CAA - I think you will find you are covered if you have subscribed to their RV coverage. We have Good Sam and it is good in both Canada & US (and Mexico I think).
