Dennis......I see no issue with what you did. I would rather drive on a flat tire versus the damage that CAN be done while trying to flatbed tow the coach. A small coach is fine, but a 45' is much more difficult to get on a flatbed without tearing up the front end fiberglass.
I would let the adjuster do their thing and see if they still deny the additional work. If they do, I would ask them about their procedure for you to challenge their decision, politely saying.....do I challenge Geico by a complaint to the State insurance commissioner, or would I just file a small claims case for the additional damage.

I would also ask the repair shop to provide a document that describes that the damage not covered by Geico was actually caused by the blowout. Small claims will ask for some sort of expert to prove your case. A document from the repair company should be sufficient.
