I have a belt and suspenders approach to road side service. Counting my wife's AAA, we have 4 plans. It might sound dumb, but I don't want to get
stuck. I consider it cheap insurance at less than $300/year.
I agree with Ken, on Allstate's RVRoadHelp. I've been towed 3 times in 20 years and over 120,000 miles of GMC driving, the last time was this past
spring when the motor stopped on I40 Westbound in Arizona. Since it was getting dark, cold and I was about a foot away from trucks that were zooming
by at over 80, I called RVRoadHelp. I was taken care of for the most part. I did have to call them back when I didn't hear from them in the time
frame I was given. I had to negotiate with them because at first they wanted me to wait until the next day (out of the question since we were in the
middle of no where) and only take me to some service place nearby where "someone would take a look". I balked at that and I asked to be taken to
Albuquerque. They agreed. So in the long run, it all worked out as the driver took me to a Walmart in Albuquerque where I knew I could fix the
problem, rather than "Bubba's RV Repair Place" the RVRoadHelp dispatch center directed him to. The driver said the ~100 mile tow was going to cost
RVRoadHelp $1200, although I don't know if that was bravado or true. Never signed anything or heard from RVRoadHelp. Put me down as a satisfied
customer for a first time user.
As far as Good Sam. I had them once and won't go back. For a variety of reasons, I'm not going to do business with any part of the Marcus Lemonis
empire. That includes Camping World and the Good Sam club.
