Road side assistance

I have a class A gas motorhome and was looking for recommendations on roadside assistance. I am a member of FMCA and GoodSams so was thinking of one of those. Most of my trips are local but each year we travel to Myrtle Beach from MA and this year we are also doing Disney. I don't pull a car rather a small utility trailer with Golf cart. Thanks
  • You might also check with your parent company. that is where I have mine.
  • I would go with Good Sam, I have only used them for flat tires with not complaints.

    I am confused on the postings about towing however here is a link to the GS towing comparison page. There three levels all have towing so I do not understand the other posts. Please explain

  • I have had Good Sam Roadside Assistance since I started RVing in 1992, except for one year when I got a free year with another company (purchased a new RV.) I have been satisfied with the service they have provided. Probably over the years have used them maybe 10 times. Just have to make sure you have the level of plan to suit your needs.
  • Good Sam but you MUST go Platinum or it does not include towing. i have had the service for 20 years and never saw a notice about having to take the higher level of service. When I broke down last year, they would not pay but they upgraded me to Platinum for free (big deal since the tow bill was $1000).
  • Either GoodSam Platinum package or FMCA package will do. Service from both is about the same. Or I suppose you could go with Coachnet Roadside Assistance although they tend to be much more $$.
    Some say the service is better but in my experience they are all about the same.
