Roadside Assistance

What's the best coverage for rv's? AAA, Good Sam or Family Motor Coach. Looking to get one after latest encounter with break down.

I compared the Good Sams against AAA about 3 years ago, when I stared towing with my RV.
On paper, they were very close. All depends on what all add on's and options you want. Good Sams was quite a bit cheaper, and I went that route. I have used them once for a flat, and they provided good service with no issues or questions.
I liked that they coverd my wife and I, no matter what we were driving. Would also take care of the trailer. No questions.
I have not compared cost and options recently.

I am about up for renewal. Let us know what you find in your research.

Good luck.
Ken

It seems a couple of times a year Camper world runs a discount on the Good Sams deal. I have it ,have never used it though. Good luck.

I use Good Sam platnium roadside assistance . Few weeks ago spit a serpintine belt of on the way to Epping N.H. I was calling our service dept. to get me hooked up and the guy with the othe car in my stacker used his Good Sam card ,called told them the problem said we didn't want anything towed we wanted the belt changed . No problem be there in 100 minutes .I called them back told them the belt # Good Sam called back @ 95 min. to follow up . Soon came a truck changed the belt i asked what do we owe you he said he bill's Good Sam direct no charge to you . Wow , and it was on my pass. G.S. card to boot . i'm a believer !

AAA all the way. I got my dually and 24 enclosed 100 miles for free, the distance was 99 miles according to the tow truck GPS and that is what he used. The service in their stores is excellent as well if you use them to book travel and they give great discounts all over including NAPA.

X2, I've had AAA for 43 year now, it gives enough peace of mind to cover the cost.
