Well I signed up for Good Sam Roadside Service “platinum” membership. Had to get my truck towed (no trailer) about 15 miles to my mechanic. What a joke their services were! It was the batteries on my truck that failed, which I suspected. I initially requested a jump, then sent me a Prius! To jump a diesel? What? Then a passenger car Mercedes, then a flat bed tow. Tow tried to jump, no success......he then refused to tow me and went on his way to a more critical call! Wow! Nevertheless I went through my auto insurance and had it towed the next day. It ended up being two shot batteries. I am now in the market for s different roadside service provided with 5th wheel coverage! Any suggestions?

I have AAA on my houses, cars and motorhome.

On a Sunday afternoon I had an inside dual blowout on my motorhome in central California, they replaced the tire and then towed it 70 miles to a Workhorse dealer in Fresno CA to complete the $12,000 damage repairs that had to be done due to the tire exploding.

Cost me $100 in deductible.

AAA covered the $12,000 in damage? Was this from their roadside assistance or your auto insurance with AAA?

Couldn't tell you...I have the Premium AAA card and everything I own is covered by AAA insurance.

I placed one call and it was all taken care of by them. No problems.

Howdy!

I use Coach Net. They have provided us with great service. Used them several times. Last time this year in Alaska when the turbo went out on our large MDT. CN sent out two tow trucks. Towed our truck to the International dealer in Anchorage and our 5er to a campground.
