Roadside assistance plans
I was wondering if folks had a roadside assistance plan that covered their TCs or just paid for towing if/when needed. I have had AAA auto coverage for a number of years and have been pretty happy. ...

A note of caution with AAA-they are a regional "club" and coverage changes from region 2 region. AAA New England does not offer RV coverage at ANY cost. If you break down with an RV here...they won't touch it. May not be an issue if you don't leave your region...but if you wander around the country you should call to verify. We now have Good Sam.

This may have changed recently. After reading your post I dowloaded a copy of the Northern New England AAA member benefits and they list an RV Plus coverage that seems to be the same as I have in CO. I also called and talked to a member services counselor and they said that the RV coverage is good through all US regional clubs. Didn't ask about Canada.
As a Canadian, I have CAA RV Plus. There is a working agreement between CAA and AAA to provide the same service regardless of which side of the Canadian/US border you are travelling.
I have used both CAA and AAA to tow our then Class C (bad fuel pump) to a repair facility and twice to "carry" our cargo trailer we pull behind our TC set-up. Yes, they consider the cargo trailer to be equivalent to a TT so in both cases involving our cargo trailer, we uncoupled the cargo trailer and they loaded it up onto a flatbed carrier and took it to a repair shop for tire/axle repairs. This happened once in PA and once in ON where I live.
I would be very upset if I had a problem with my Truck/TC/cargo trailer setup while travelling anywhere in North America and was denied service by either CAA or AAA. It's exactly why I pay the higher premium for the CAA RV Plus coverage and I expect to receive that service when needed.
