Self insuring vs Roadside Assistance
I know it's a wide open field given all of the different types of RVs there are out there but I'm wondering what folks that have had to pay out of pocket for their own towing,tire replacement, as well...

A couple of examples:
my son had a flat tire just outside of town, was going to change himself but was having issues removing tire, so called GSERS. they sent someone out within a short while, and they had the impact wrench it took to remove lug nuts.. oh yeah, turned out spare was flat, so they aired it up too. No charge to me and he was on his way to shop to get new tire in a little over an hour.
Was on vacation in Myrtle Beach without TT prior to buying GSRSA. Looked my keys in truck in shopping center parking lot. Took a patient store employee letting me borrow their phone book and about 30-45 minutes of calling to locate someone who would come unlock. Then cost $75 for two minutes of work and they wanted cash. so then I had to go find ATM and get him cash. This was when I made decision to purchase road side assistance.
I chose Good Sam Platinum because it will cover both vehicles and I can be pulling TT or utility trailer. I also have used the Tech Help to trouble shoot an electrical issue on a Sunday morning of a holiday weekend. Knowing I had someone to call to help me figure out what was going on was priceless. Also have learned the GS Platinum lockout service will also unlock my house, which makes me doubly sure they are the best solution for me.
