Towing overage?
We have good sam towing. We just broke down 5 miles from Seward Alaska. We limped in (engine limp mode). We got a local guy to scan the engine code and called the closest chevy dealer in anchorage. B...

Huh? Your power train is under warranty but a failure of that power train, which would require towing, doesn't kick in the method to get it repaired. Weird
Doesn't your normal vehicle insurance cover towing to an authorized repair facility?
Good Sam towing coverage covers you for a tow to the nearest GS authorized repair facility. They don't know nor care anything about your warranty unless it gets them out of paying (as it should be with a warranty).
You might not have purchased a new vehicle in the past, but the towing on your warranty does not cover the entire period provided.
Based on your logic why would you ever buy a good SAMs towing. You suggest your vehicle warranty or your insurance. What would be the point of having good sam
coverage then?

Well, you got it exactly right. I always buy my tow vehicles new (currently have 3 of them). Every power train warranty I have ever had included towing for that power train for the duration of the power train warranty. And yes, I carry towing on my normal vehicle insurance as well. Yes, I have had both CoachNet and GS in the past when tossed in with the trailers. Never used them and never renewed them because my warranty and normal insurance always kicked in first. Not saying they are bad insurance just not useful for me. And yes, I read the conditions necessary to use them. They both clearly articulated they would tow to the nearest authorized repair facility (which is not the same as the nearest dealer authorized to do OEM warranty repairs.).
So, like I said, you got it exactly right. For me there is no point in having GS coverage for TVs for the reason you stated.
