Good Sam or Coach-Net roadside service?

Thanks for all the comments there is a lot of good information here, at this point I think I'm leaning towards Coachnet.

Normally new RVs come with one year of Coach net for free paid for by manufacturer. Most deales don't convey that info. Did you get that plus a 30% discount on the rest of the period? If so I would have jumped on that deal.

This was on a used RV, not new!

Sorry for the 2nd post but have a question now...

Say my class C breaks down away from home. Assume it's a motor problem, the vehicle is immobilized, needs to be towed to a Ford dealer, & can't be repaired right away. Also that I don't have a toad.

Does Coachnet or Good Sam help get me to a rental car? I know I would have to pay for the rental car. Just trying to figure out how I'd physically get to a rental car (assuming here that Enterprise can't "pick me up" at the dealer).

Hypothetical but trying to figure out.

they provide trip interruption : hotel, rental car, air fare back to home etc. Depends on the circumstances but yes.

I thought that was just in case of collision instead of a motor problem.

One other thing, I don't believe that either Coach-Net or Good Sam will tow you if involved in a collision or accident. That would be on your motorhome's insurance, provided you pay for that coverage. And they also will not cover you if you are off the beaten path, like on a beach or on a un-marked road.

Both Coach Net & GS ERS are calling the same tow truck companies. If the tow service is closed on a Sunday or holiday doesn't matter which service you have.

How could that be? They use different call centers. And different agents to contract the tow companies. Many could be the same, but Coach Net will weed out the bad apples.

Have not had to use it thru Coach-Net but many (most?) new car dealers either have onsite car rental or can arrange it for you. They do that for customers in some cases for warranty repairs that include a rent car if your vehicle must be kept for any length of time. Had my '07 truck in for two days to replace a cam sensor 4 yrs ago and the Ford dealer provided a rent car for that time, included under the warranty repair.

My first year of free Coachnet it up in 8 days.

Not feeling the love from Coachnet at all though.

Had a motor mishap (class C) earlier this month. Called Coachnet. They never picked up after 15 minutes. I called Ford from a 2nd phone. They picked up immediately. I know Ford sub-contracts through Coachnet. But, apparently, that number has a much higher priority.

Thinking about renewing with Coachnet regardless. But the plans in my renewal letter, on their website renewal section, & on their website general info area don't match at all. E-mailed them over a week ago & still waiting for a response.

Coachnet is making it very easy for me to choose Good Sam even though I believe Coachnet has a better product (based upon what I read on the net).

CoachNet has been magnificent for us.
