With my first coach I had AAA RV Plus. I broke down in Biggs Junction, OR, and had to be towed 136 miles to Bend, OR, which was the nearest qualified repair facility. AAA only covered the first 100 miles. I had to pay $162.00 (36 miles x 4.50 per mile).

If I had Coach Net then, as I do now, they would have covered the entire tow charge.

Correct, but if you had AAA Premium, to compare apples to apples, AAA would be no charge too.

OP asked about AAA RV Plus, and since Coach Net today costs me less than what AAA RV Plus did back then (I can only assume that Premium would be higher yet), I feel I am definitely comparing apples to apples. Also the comfort of knowing that Coach Net will provide coverage any where I travel in the US without the potential territorial issues with AAA is a big plus. If some one feels more comfortable with AAA, then that's fine. I'm not here to argue.

Pardon me, but my son towed contracted to AAA in the southern tier of western NYS and left many motorhomes sitting on the side of the road because the AAA agent just dispatched a little wrecker to tow a way to big motorhome. So much for your "agents"!!! Each AAA area is different and not all have the RV Plus regardless of what that agent tells you! Will your AAA agent tow a motorhome from Alaska to the lower 48??? Coach-Net has!!!

LOL...you are confusing a bad agent with the service provided in the area. I am a Western NY AAA RV Premium member and have been for years. I can confirm they *will* tow a Class A. In my earlier post I even provided one of the tow companies. However, I can confirm that I did have an agent one time attempt to sent the wrong tow truck, but corrected on a follow up call, so I agree there. I have absolutely no plans to take my RV outside the northeast, so I am fine with the coverage here and really don't care now if they will tow it to Hawaii :W If I was retired and traveling across the US and had no other vehicles, I may look at the other offerings.
No classic car coverage and no towing to my house (forget which ones-Coach Net or Good Sam) were deal killers as I was looking at other options before I renewed AAA. I liked the unlimited tow option, but after thinking about it, I don't recall any year where I needed more than two tows.
Bottom line, depending what you need, either of the three services may work for you, so need to compare all options.


Oh, I flew to Alaska and rented a RV with my family a few yrs ago..no need for coverage :)

I have AAA with the RV upgrade. I have used it only once and that was in Arizona. Since I am a member of Southern California AAA, it took a while for the Arizona AAA and SC AAA to communicate, but I finally got assistance after about an hour wait. So, your ability to use AAA is really dependent on where your are in the country. I would say that California and Arizona have good AAA coverage.

we have AAA Rv plus does this work on rv's

Yes, have used them twice for my Class A no problem. Other services won't tow my Classic cars if needed, so have been using AAA Premium for 5+ years. Will allow one 200 mile too, then the rest 100 mile, but they *will* tow you home as opposed to the nearest station. Nice compared to the others. I had my Dodge Ram plow truck towed 120 miles home as opposed to the local service place and fixed myself.

Not sure why the other posters are saying no on RVs. Call AAA and find out yourself as opposed to some of the incorrect answers.

I also see you are from Syracuse (OP). When I last called AAA for my RV, Robby C's from Canastota arrived and did a great job...last time the guy was from Fulton NY, also did a great job and both removed the drive shafts correctly.

I had AAA with 100 mile and RV. My class C broke down about 45 miles from home and it cost me several hundred dollars. AAA would only pay a portion of the cost.
The same thing with tire repair. They allow a certain amount of time and anything over that you have to pay for, Good luck finding this out until you have an emergency. I went to Coach Net. So far I haven't had to use them so I can't say how they are.

ok I just called them and it does cover ALL Rv's towing up to 100 miles, all motor homes or 5th wheels anywhere in the US and Canada

I will flat out tell you that NOT all AAA divisions have or honor other divisions RV Plus. Whoever you talked to either lied to you or had NO idea what they were talking about.....Yes many on here have or had AAA RV Plus and got screwed as several have told you, including myself.

I had AAA RV & Motorcycle towing, as they were packaged together. I only wanted the M/C towing. Even though it was packaged together, I wouldn't use AAA for an RV. As others stated, they'll tell you anything, but may be very problematic 1000's of miles from home. I think the difference in price between their standard vehicle towing and RV towing would leave you enough money to buy GS or CoachNet.
