FMCA Travel Assist vs. Good Sam Travel Assist

Hi. Just looking for your opinions or experiences before we decide. We are thinking of getting FMCA Assist (which comes with the FMCA membership) or Good Sam Travel Assist (which are the policies to help you in case of a medical event and someone had to get the RV back home for you, etc.) They seem very comparable and are same price per year. I am leaning towards FMCAโ€”I canโ€™t tell you why exactlyโ€ฆmaybe because an acquaintance recommended FMCA.
We already have Good Sam ROADSIDE Assistance and have (unfortunately) used it twice in last two years and had no complaints whatsoever with the service. We have a fifth wheel, but understand FMCA membership now covers other than just motorhomes. I read some old posts, but wanted to start a fresh discussion. Thanks in advance for your input.

Read this first. The brochures seem to say they provide more than this does!

FMCAssist is part of your membership.Does not matter if you have motorhome, travel trailer, or fifth wheel.

If I were you I would check if FMCA Travel Assist covers 5th wheels. You are correct, FMCA membership now allows travel trailers & 5th wheels, but I would check if they have included Travel Assist in all membership benefits before joining.
I have GS roadside assist and had one assist to inflate a flat tire due to an improperly installed TPMS sensor. My cost was $100, I was local to the tow company and the assist took all of 15 minutes. I thought my portion - $100 was high. I will switch to FMCA next year.
