Hey! I don’t usually leave reviews but I canceled this service bc customer service told me that “they” don’t cover existing problems !! I was willing to wait my 48 hours and I only needed a jump start !!! Wow Triple A helped me tho. Canceled this and bought triple A !!

I personally do not want to have their good sam extended warranty it's crap..

I purchased the policy and they said I'm covered from that date forward...

Well that's a lie!!

I hadcthe warranty 30 days, and originally purchased the warranty due to the fact I had just purchased a 2018 keystone avalanche 320rs had it 6 months or so.. anyway on with the story, right after 30 days my hydraulic slide stopped working just after Thanks Giving it went out and would not come in. Filed a claim and Good Sam denied the claim saying it was preexisting!!.¿ I've owned the rv for 6 months no issues not a single issue, everything was checked when I purchased the 5th wheel and this was our 4 or 5 outting with no problem at all..

Good Sams is definitely not a reputable warranty company they will find a way not to help or do the repairs.. My brother had issues also and dropped them..

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!

Just put the monthly payments in a savings account and pay out of pocket my repairs would have been $600.00 but the time I paid 500. Deductible, and the time it took G.s. to decline me it was fixed by me paying cash.. So I paid the repairman 495.00 and got it fixed hydraulic ram labor & fluid

How often have you asked for a jump?  AAA only allows 4 per calendar year.  I dropped AAA, they refused to tow me out of a field 20 feet from the highway.  Was with AAA for 30+ years too.  I switched to GS right after that experience and two months laterI needed assistance getting a leveling jack to retract.  GS dispatched a tech within 1 hour and was all fixed up in 10 minutes.  AAA is regional and they do not cater to heavy trucks or RVs even though they'll take your membership fee.  We hadthe AAA RV option and they didnt live up to their end of the contract.  AAA refunded my membership fee.

Hi,

The DW and myself are both retired. We've been snowbirds since 2016, usually heading to Florida. In the summer and fall we use campgrounds locally and sometimes have the grandkids with us. The past year we were stuck in the sticks and bricks do to my getting chemo for Leukemia. I'm now in remission. All the years I've been a GS member and never knew this existed.
