towing a fifth wheel

Question

I am concerned that purchasing the rv premeir package that if my truck breaks done unexpectedly will my truck will be towed home to be repaired and my trailer will be towed to a yard?
I am a do it yourself mechanic and want the peice of mind knowing that my travel trailer and truck will be towed home in case of such an instance.
AAA does not tow both only 1 rig either the trailer or the truck, and the owner is stuck with a hefty bill getting the other rig home.
so does good sam cover both trailer and truck in the same day?

I had one instance of needing help from Good Sam while I was towing my Fiver.  They took the Chevy to a Chevy Dealer, and took my FW to an RV park that was close by.  We stayed in the RV park two days while the truck was repaired.  All the towing was covered by the GS policy, and we had zero issues with them. We only had to wait about 90 minutes for them to arrive.

Coachnet is another option.

denandjules,Thank you for your post.  The Good Sam Roadside Assistance Platinum+ Plan would cover both the tow vehicle, as well as your trailer just the same.  Please let me know if you have any further questions.Nate K.Marcus' Rapid Response Team

Roadside assistance programs typically tow your truck to the nearest capable facility on their dime.  Same for your trailer.  Any distance after that is on your dime. That is the way I understand it.  If "home" is closer, they might just tow you home.  If you are 500 miles from home, I suspect you will pay the difference yourself.
