Call 911 for a flat tire? Good idea. ;)
People get killed "parked" on the side of the interstate. That is why we have the Move Over laws.
Yes, I will want a police car with its flashing lights behind me while I change the tire on my TT
Then no one should waste their money on AAA, Coach-Net, Good Sam, Etc.?
Just call 911 for a dead battery? :)
I can see that happening, NOT. Hello 911, I have a flat and need a cop. They'll tell you to call a tow service. That's what flares and road triangles are for. A flat tire is not a 911 EMERGENCY.
Coach Net is great. Carried them for many years with no tow. Then we had a rash of tows. Wife's car needed to be towed when the clutch blew, yes it includes your personal car also. Then we needed out fifth wheel towed Twice on one trip. One MH towing. Added up the costs and I exceeded what I paid over all the years.
Remember they will tow you to the nearest repair location regardless of distance. Need a tire? They'll find you one. Just having someone who can call around the unknown area you are in is worth it.
First thing Coach net asks you , "are you in a safe place".
You need to add the word qualified to the highlighted sentence. One of the RV forum members was towed from Alaska to the lower 48 because that was the closest "qualified repair center".
