Class A Roadside Assistance

Looking for recommendation/experience regarding who's best suited for Diesel Pusher Roadside Assistance; Good Sam - Coach-Net - FMCA?
  • Many years ago I had Good Sam but they left me stranded with a tire problem. I switched to Coach-Net and had a breakdown with our DP. They were going to tow it to the nearest diesel repair facility which would have been fine except this shop couldn't even look at it for 2 weeks.

    I advised Coach-Net that this wouldn't work for me as I was planning on heading south in 2 weeks. They said no problem and towed our motorhome and extra 130 miles to another repair facility that could repair it the next day. There was no charge to me for the extra towing mileage to accommodate my schedule. I doubt GS would do that as they are pretty adamant about towing to the "nearest" repair facility.
  • I have (3)
    Good Sam
    AAA platinum
    An Emg road service with my full coverage progressive insurance

    Covers the RV and my Scoot
    And I have used each one at different times

    What ever you get, make sure it has great TOW coverage in case of a breakdown
    Basic service with short TOW distance
    Becomes very out of the pocket expensive
    When the nearest shop that can work on your rv is many miles away
  • With any of them, pay close attention to all the things they DONT cover, and the add on's needed to make it useful.
  • I have FMCA and AAA but have never had to use either for the coach.
  • I prefer Good Sam Roadside Assistance. I have Platinum + and recommend it for anyone with a large coach. I have had Coach Net in the pass but one gets what they pay for and Good Sam has different options for different needs. My needs require Good Sam Platinum +.
