5th wheel emergency tow Leavenworth In/ Louisville Ky

Anyone have any Ideas on how to get me and my equipment off of Interstate 64 near the Leavenworth Indiana exit? If never had a breakdown and only have AAA towing which will only cover my f350 not my 5ver. I have a class A and might be able to rent a Semi tractor if need be but no friends with a truck I can use
  • I agree with googling. A number of years ago my truck stalled on the side of I-40 near OKC. I googled, then called, a couple of towing companies and explained I had a 35' 5er behind my stalled truck. One said no problem, they could be there in 30 minutes. They brought a roll back tow truck for my truck and a pickup with 5th wheel hitch for my 5er. Tow truck took my wife and two granddaughters to a dealer service department. Pickup took me and 5er to nearby KOA, parked the 5er in my assigned site, waited until I hooked up electric and turned on A/C (it was hot), and then took me to the dealer. Dealer provided a rent car under warranty, promised to have my truck ready by the next day, and we had only minor disruptions to our travels.
  • Just leave the 5er connected like I did a few years ago. The wrecker took me to an Rv park and dropped the 5er, then took my truck to a Dealer lot.
  • Google "Towing near me", Get on the phone.
    By the time you rent a truck the Highway patrol will have the unit towed for you, at your expense.
  • Sometimes we just have to pay to play.
    It's less than 50 miles, call a tow company and be done with it before it's hit or stolen.
