Triple A versus Coachnet versus Good Sam
I've been with Triple A for a long time, but recently read that they don't cover all states. Can anyone point out any major differences worth considering? I just got the Good Sam offer in the mail. Mi...

Unlike CoachNet and Good Sam, AAA has regional offices and every regional office offers different services. We have had AAA Plus for 20 years. We had with RV for about 12 years. We used AAA for RV service 3 times, 2 because the tow vehicle broke down, once because of a blown tire on our Class C. We were happy with the service. We are on the East Coast and both times we needed a tow we were outside our region. Both times they were long tows, 75 miles and 99 miles. With AAA Plus, we get 4 tows of 100 miles each year.
One problem we found with CoachNet if you need a tow, they may not tow you where you want to go - only to the nearest dealer/mechanic. Our Hybrid TT came with 1 year of CoachNet free. The one time we tried to use it, was when the fuel pump in our tow vehicle died. We were 70 miles from our destination. CoachNet wanted to drop our TT off at a local campground and tow the van to the nearby Chevy Dealer. That didn't help us. They would not let use pay the difference to go where we wanted to go. AAA towed us where we had our camping reservations and then took the van to a local dealer.
