roadside service providers
Who are you folks using for roadside service. I have a class A. Thanks for any response hopefully include annual price and experiences.

Couple of thoughts:
AAA is not a single organization, but rather a confederation of different automobile clubs. Some of them offer roadside assistance for RVs, some DON'T. I've seen posts from people who've bought RV roadside assistance from, say, TX AAA who discovered that, say, MA AAA not only doesn't offer RV roadside assistance to MA members, they wouldn't help the TX members when they broke down in MA in their RV!
Forget AAA.
If you're planning to do anything more than tooling around the lower 48, say going up the Alcan to Alaska or spending your winter down in Baja Mexico, make sure you understand exactly what kind of coverage - if any - your plan offers under those circumstances.
Most roadside assistance programs require you to call them so they can dispatch a tow truck from their approved list. What happens if you're in the middle of nowhere - no cell service - and the highway patrol has to use their radio to summon the only tow truck for 500 miles? Will the club cover that? Under the best of circumstances, you'll probably have to pay the tow yourself and put in for reimbursement. Will the club reimburse the full amount, or is there a maximum limit, and, if so, how much is it?
Lots of things to think about beyond Who's Cheapest.
