If all reports made here are true including some quotes from AAA themselves it wouldn’t ever be my 1st, 2nd or even 3rd choice…

Things like

6. The club shall provide service to the following:
• Four-wheeled motor-driven vehicles of the passenger, pleasure or recreational type (vans, campers and motor homes), regardless of license plate designation, if those services can be safely delivered.
• Dual-wheel campers/motor homes will be provided all services but may exclude towing, extrication/recovery and tire service due to size. Dual-wheel unloaded pickup trucks are provided all services except tire service when special equipment is needed.:h

AAA also will tow any vehicle, as long as you are there with your membership card. We live in Georgia. We were visiting family in NJ when my brother's car broke down. I drove out to meet him and called AAA. They towed it no questions asked. It wasn't my car and I was out of my region, but they didn't care. The tow truck driver never even asked for my card, so I didn't even have to drive out there. I've rarely had a driver ask to see my card.

Based on their service agreement you apparently Either didn’t know or intended to fraudulently obtain the service… you just got away with it…:o

Who May Obtain Service

2. AAA service is available to a member who is driving or riding in a qualified vehicle that becomes disabled. The member may be required to present a valid membership card, dues receipt or qualified identification in his/her name at the time AAA service is rendered. (Refer to paragraph 5, 6.)

We've had AAA for over thirty years, never had to use them for our RV but they have been used several times for help on our cars and pickups. Service has always been fast and courteous. And the discount you get at motels, and other places helps to pay for the annual cost.

We've had AAA Plus RV for many years and have been very happy with it. The nice thing about AAA compared to CoachNet is that AAA will tow you where ever you want to go, regardless of how far it is. If it is more than 100 miles you will have to pay the difference, but you won't be stuck in the middle of no where because the nearest service center was 10 miles away from where you broke down.

While we've lived in GA, we've used our AAA outside our region multiple times and have never had an issue. While we were living in NJ we used AAA outside our region once without incident.

We are happy with AAA and all the money we save just with AAA discounts at different stores and campgrounds generally pays for the membership. AAA saved us over $100 during an 8 day stay at Fort Wilderness a few years ago. When we made the reservation they told us they had no AAA price sites available. When we checked-in, I asked about if they offer a AAA discount (like I didn't know) and she asked for my card and gave us the discount.

When posting why not be more descriptive and accurate (it doesn’t say nearest repair shop)… if you prefer one a little farther down the road, the mileage fee for the (excess distance) is at your expense… words matter…

When you call for service, Good Sam Platinum Roadside
Assistance pays 100% of the towing fees for the delivery of your
vehicle to the nearest professional service center capable and willing
to repair your vehicle. ~~~If you make any re quest for your vehicle to
be taken to a location other than the nearest professional service
center, including your home, the mileage fee (for the distance
in excess of the nearest licensed repair center) will be at your
expense.


That’s why I have GS… words matter, and their contract not only has the best words, but they have gone above and beyond those words for me every time… tried another and returned to GS because of the good service I received with GS…

AAA is only available in segments of the country. Make sure you only break down where it is available. :B Coachnet, Good Sam, Allstate/KOA is coast to coast.

Personally I have ERS through my AMA membership for under $40 per year.

I left AAA after being covered about 45 years. First their travel service was less than satisfactory and they didn't seem to care. Then the roadside service towed my son to safety between Vegas and LA, but they have 3hours to then come back and tow you to sevice. That made it after 5pm on Sat, so the car was stuck at Chevy till Mon before it could be looked at. I now have GoodSam.

I had AAA RV when I had my Roadtrek 'B'. I had a radiator leak about 5 miles from home. No flatbed available and no tow truck that wouldn't drag the rear bumper on the ground. But they did fill up my radiator. Same folks who left me stranded in a car on the expressway because they couldn't find anybody that would come out at 11PM. They do, however, appear to know a great deal about maps. :)

after 41 yrs, just switched to Good Sam. AAA is to expensive, and when i called to add my 23' traier, they did tell me not everyone can tow it.
at 200 for the year vs 79, i wi try it.
