Roadside Breakdown

I think your time would be better spent preparing for the truck to NOT break down. Proper maintenance will go a long way to not needing to be towed.

The towing companies are professionals. They do this for a living. When they see your rig they will either know how to tow it, or send you someone who can.

Most flatbed rollbacks that I see are also capable of doing a wheel-lift tow. I’ve had to do that once with my camper on a 1995 F350 when the clutch throw out bearing came apart. Of course, then you have to think about whether your driveshaft needs to be disconnected or not.

That’s what happened here on a trip to the west coast in 2010. Amarillo, TX.



My preference would be to find a tow company that could move your truck with the camper on it to your chosen repair facility, then drop the camper in their lot. Or, possibly make an interim stop at a campground to drop the camper.

If the truck can still move itself but needs repairs, I’ve spent the night with the camper in garage lots or a campground while the truck was being worked on. Like I did here on that same 2010 trip in Bishop, CA.



Yeah, that was a fun trip. Good times! :B

When I bought this truck and camper it hadn't been driven for close to 15 years so I had it towed to my home.
The wrecker service used a rollback to haul it on.
Some companies have low profile rollbacks.

Good Sam has been responsive the couple of times we needed them (not for the TC). They will tow any vehicle anywhere in the US which is great. Once my Wife ran down car battery, another time she hit a pot hole, they came within one hour.
If you need to tow TC be sure you ask for a low boy, just tell them you have a small motor home. They probably won’t understand TC.

call coach net. things arn,t the same as the old days.
