We've had AAA for almost 20 years and AAA with RV for about 10 years. We've had several break downs of TV where we also needed the TT to tow. AAA covered the tow. One time we waited for about 3 hours as the nearest wrecker that could handle the tow and had room for the 4 of us was a good ways away.
I like AAA because it covers the person. I can be in anyone's car or truck. If they break down and I have my card, AAA will cover it. I also like that they will tow me where I want to go. We had CoachNet free for a year when we bought our Hybrid TT. We needed a couple tows for TV and HTT. CoachNet would not tow us where we wanted to go, because there was a campground to drop the camper and a GM dealership to drop the TV that was closer. We were on our way to a camping trip, meeting family. AAA covered the tow. I even offered to CoachNet that I would pay the overage to tow me where I wanted and they said no.
That was a deal breaker for us. We've gotten a free year of CoachNet with the next 2 RVs that we bought, but never bothered. AAA Plus with RV worked well for us. The only time I had a problem with AAA was when our Motorhome had a blow out on I-95 passing by Savannah, GA. It took AAA 2 hours to locate a mobile tire repair to put our spare tire on.
We live on the East Coast where AAA coverage is good. We've used the service in our area and outside our area without a problem. Outside the East Coast, I have no experience with AAA.
