Coach Net, FMCA I'm confused, which is nothing new

Coach Net has assisted up three times over ten years and all were done properly including a 350 mile flatbed tow in Alaska. That one tow "paid" for the next 20 years of Coachnet as it cost me only a signature and was over $2000 if I had to pay. GREAT service. I will remain a loyal customer. Have always sent the proper equipment for our needs. Now just like life insurance, I hope I never need them again.

It was the other way around. Coachnet severed with FMCA

I can believe that for sure....and Im sticking with Coach Net regardless of whom they might affiliate themselves with.

I had heard fmca has dropped their affiliation with coach net and now has another supplier for their "discount" offer Coach net supposedly raised the $take$ ie wanted to have fmca raise their membership fees and make coach net "free " part of the deal . But that's all hearsay

Hi All.

Speaking of getting something for "Free" theses days is getting very hard to find. But here is a "TIP" for you.

You can get "Free" "Road Side Service" at no cost at all if you have your Insurance through "The Hardford Company" and you also an "AARP" Member.

There are no gimics at all. Even my Motorhomes and Toad Rates have not gone up at all in the past 4 years also.

When we first started with them, there wasn't any mention of any "FREE" "ERS' with them. They sent us a letter about 9 months after were had been with them.

To this day, there still has been no increase in our Insurnce payments. Another good thing with them, is you can pay for your insurance for a full year at a time. Not many companies that will do a full year at a time.

You can also get your Home Insured with them also, and make it a package deal. When we swiched from our old insurance company, Mr Smily, we saved over "$880.00 dolllars a year. And yes, you can pay the whole package with them only once a year if you choose to or you meet some type of ratings I'm pretty sure that they have.

Maybe something like a "Perfect Driving Scores", which we do. And a "Very High Credit Score, got that one also.

I can't answer any questions how good there "ERS" is, because we have never needed them. We also have had "AAA" Insurance for over 45 years, and the DW won't let me drop them.

We also have "Coach Net " also. Can't commont on them either, as in the 46+ years as RV'er and Boon-Dockers, we have never needed anyone,

As we have never been "Broken Down", or have ever had a "Blow-Out" or a "Flat Tire" I have done all of my own work on every RV we have ever owned, or anything eles we have ever driven. You learn a lot after 46+ years on the road Traveling and RV'ing.

Good Luck. Dan & Jill, and two small "Yorkie Kids" who love to Travel as much as we do. "Winter Time" for us is some of the best "Boon-Docking" there is.

I am sticking with Coach-Net.

I never had to use Coach-Net yet, but their reviews have been glowing. Coach-Net doesn't mess around. They will send out the Big Boys when you break down. They are equipped to pull a Locomotive out of the Grand Canyon:)

Allstate (RV RoadHelp, Good Sam, or whatever they are also called) doesn't seem ready to handle the kind of rigs that we own. In a series of half-measures, they will first send out a small tow truck that is dwarfed by what we drive. In almost every scenario that I've heard, the high-school aged driver will act suprised, attempt 'something' and leave. Allstate seems to be good for jumping batteries and fixng flats on my Honda, and since I can do that stuff by myself, I don't need it.

Don't even get me started about AAA. I actually broke down outside of the their regional headquaters. They had garages on site too. I walked inside and they wouldn't give me the time of day. They said that I had to call THEM on the phone. This was before cell phones, so I asked to use their phone, they pointed me to the pay phone at end of hall and told me to call THEM. They never came even though I was right outside. I fixed my broken car myself and tore out of their parking lot. I was sooo mad. AHHHHH!!!

I had AAA RV for my car and vintage class B. AAA sends out the same guys that jump start and tow cars even if you tell them it's a camper towing a trailer. They came the first time with a flat bed the camper wouldn't fit on let alone the utility trailer. Came back with a dolly, did not lock down the camper properly before towing, and tossed my camper into a ditch. If it had gone the other way into the oncoming lane it could have killed someone. As it was it smashed up the front end (after 26 years without a scratch). Before that all that was wrong was a fuel filter.



I'm picking up my new camper this week and you can bet I will be signing up for coach-net.

Edit: Sorry, posted this in the wrong discussion.

Re: For example, most will not pull you out if you're stuck in mud or snow. That'll cost you out of pocket, since it's not a covered service!

Had my head elsewhere pulling out of daughters driveway Sunday and got right rear dullies stuck in mud.Long unpaved driveway...maybe a quarter mile. Coach Net sent a truck that winched me out in minutes. No cost (except for $20 tip to the operator since he was such an efficient and nice guy).

I'll stay with Coach Net
