Class A Roadside Assistance

I was just curious what made it more appropriate after a number of posts vs. posting right away. The story, experience and impact would be exactly the same.
It's a great story and a great testimonial to GS.

My guess; appropriate story at the appropriate time relating to the appropriate subject.

As to the OPs question, my only dealings with AAA on a MH would lead me to NOT recommend them.

We had Coachnet, used them once and they were fine.

We currently have GS and fortunately haven't had the need to use it. I hope that continues.

It's really a toss up. Most ERS providers use the same companies to help you. Plus, it seems all have raised their rates. I had GS for years, they did fine, but nearly doubled their rates when it was time to renew. I caught FMCA during a sale, and got them for three years.

I’ve been RVing for 30 plus years... I use my cell phone.

Good Sam. We had a fuel leak west of Denver. Long story short, they had a mobile tech diagnose the problem, and then towed to OUR choice for the repair (70+ miles). we were very happy with the service.

Last year in early Nov just east of Texarkana our diesel shut down. It was a Sunday aft at the start of hunting season. Good Sam was not able to find anyone to help us after many calls backand forth. I asked the call center to document this on file at the time. Now on our own six hours later I was able to get Breeley Tow service in Texarcana to come and get us. The price was rediculous for 70 miles over $2200 cash but what are you going to do with heavy traffic passing by at 70mhr three feet from your rig its getting dark and the DW frazzeled with me not far behind.

OK Breely was pricey but their service was top notch! I would recommend them again.

Here is the cudo for Good Sam. They fully reimbursed the total amount with no nonsense.

All of these roadside service programs operate through call centers. The big issue is do they come through with the cash on a claim.
My vote is still Good Sam. They have helped me in Canada, the US and Mexico over the past 11 years.

BTW the engine control module had failed. Gotta love computers!

Safe travels all and keep well

We are full-time and have coachnet. Pay attention to the plans for any company as many indicate "towable" only coverage. It would not apply to a "motorized" rv. Coachnet does have 2 separate plans based on that as well as many of the others.

We have never needed to use our plan - thank goodness.

We have had GS for many years. We have a Prevost bus conversion and have had to be towed twice. Both times, exactly where the manufacturer recommended we be towed for service. Our towed also threw a serpentine belt and we were towed to a local Firestone shop where the belt was replaced in a few hours.

I have GS and have for many years with no problem. Over the years I have used it maybe 4 or 5 times all tire related. The thing to remember is its Roadside Assistance not Roadside Repair. There job is to get you to a place to get things fixed.
