Roadside assistance plans

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.

I was so tired of the near WEEKLY advertisements

I also was a GS roadside assistance member. I also got real tired of all the incessant unwanted snail mail ads. It really is unnecessary, wastes mail that costs somebody something, fills mailboxes with junk, and there could be a very simple "off" button that stops the junk mail to those that don't want it. I also chose not to renew largely due to junk mail that never ends. And lastly, I now have CoachNet and once a month there is an e-mail newsletter. Very simple, no junk mail, and the newsletter actually has some valuable articles.

Thank you for your post, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Good Sam. Can you please send a private message with your contact information and membership number so that we can follow-up with you directly.

Thanks,

I called on at least three attempts to be removed from your mailing lists. (while being a member)

---I didn't want RV insurance, no matter how many times I called to NOT receive any further mailings.
---I didn't want to buy MORE than 3 years of coverage, despite having a minimum of two years remaining on my current policy.
---I didn't want RV warranty coverages

I was so tired of the near WEEKLY advertisements, it was maddening!

The last call I made to request ZERO ad's, the young lady said, although we currently removed you from our list, we cannot stop the "roto" ads.

Another week went by and AGAIN more garbage in the mail. I called back and FINALLY when I cancelled my remaining YEARS of coverage, I was finally pushed up the ladder and got to speak to a gentleman "supervisor". When I told him my reason for terminating the membership (too many dang ads, ads, ads, ads, ads, ads, ads....he said, "gosh, we can take care of that right now.". I told him that after 9 years of membership, I was done with Good Sam and their ads. If that's the way they deal with customers REPEATED attempts to stop the incessant advertising, I really felt lied to.

Within a month, ZERO ZERO ZERO ads. Funny.

So, Thank you for your concerned response. But I will decline your assistance, since I haven't been a member for two years now. If you want to be lumped into lousy kinship with Cable/sat tv, New car dealers, and Political ads, then you will get the same treatment from me that I've given them. I have canceled Sat TV, Cable TV, and called dealers to be removed from their lists as well.

I have been a member of https://coach-net.com for almost two years now. No ads, no hassles, and a super nice person on the phone when I've spoken with them. No "roto" ads.

Let me tell you, the day to accept ANY SERVICE FROM GOOD SAM, they will hound the **** outta you for the rest of your life to buy more **** from them!

Don't ever buy good sam anything!!

You want the same coverage with better reviews, AND NEVER get on a mailing list??

coach-net.com ----- period.

I have CAA rv+ broke down in N. Ontario 65 miles in the middle of nowhere they towed my boat one way to a facility that gave me 1 week free storage and the TC the other way back the way we came total bill would have been about $900 and because we were 180 miles from home the rv+ also would have put us in a motel, (but the ford dealership where we got towed to unloaded the camper in their parking lot and let us plug it in) so we stayed there, also supplied meals for 2 days, taxi cab fares and showers at a nearby truck stop worth about $170, you have up to $600 to use for incidentals. Love the rv+ won't go anywhere without it. Also this was the first year with the insurance, got my money back plus.

We have Good Sam now. We have a F550 with a Lance 1161 sitting on it. No big deal to them. In the past we had AAA show up with a F250 to tow us and that was after haggling on the phone. I would recommend Good Sam without question!!

my go to as well.
