Most Satisfactory Roadside Assistancw

We currently have Good Sam Roadside Assistance and are thinking of switching to FMCA Roadside Assistance. Does anyone have any experience with FMCA assistance and how would you rate and compare it to Good Sam's assistance plan?
  • yep nobody better than coach net, do you read all the complaints on here about GS ,they all can,t be wrong.
  • I got CoachNet in 2005 when I got my motorhome and have kept it up every year since then. I've had three occasions to need their services (broken hydraulic line, seized brake caliper, tire needing changing). The first two calls required tows while the tire just needed a guy with a jack (it was on my car).

    In all three cases, Coachnet gave me excellent service. I was able to rapidly speak with an RV Technician who asked clarifying questions and could have offered suggestions if there was anything I could do. When it was decided that I needed towing, they arranged for a huge tow truck to disconnect my driveshaft and tow us to an authorized facility - both tows were about 50 - 100 miles. They also contacted the facility so they knew we were coming. They also followed up in 2 hrs to see if all was resolved.

    Coach Net has worked out very well for me since 2005.
  • Given all the complaints on this forum about GS refusing service, I wouldn't even think of using them.

    One word. Coach Net. Well 2 words. Excellent service.
  • The subscription fee is not the only indicator of quality. I can't speak for FMCA, but in the years we've had Platinum GSRA with 3 tows and help while on the road locating a tire shop, I have to give them a AAAAA+ rating.
