I should add to my mention of Coach Net (as Laura & Charles say) that it covers ALL my vehicles, not just the RV, even if I'm not on an RV trip.
I had that happen to me with AAA when they could not find anybody to tow my 24' Y2K Class C motorhome in a reasonable time.The problem with AAA is that it is an association of clubs some of which do not offer RV roadside to their memebrs in their service area, While AAA will get you service in those areas they will not have developed as extensive network of facilities to do towing or other service on your motor home
Yes and coach-net and Good Sam do the same providing you get authorization FIRST. But in a strange place I do not want to be calling random shops that may get in over their head trying to service my vehicleI had that happen to me with AAA when they could not find anybody to tow my 24' Y2K Class C motorhome in a reasonable time.
But I was told by AAA that I can call any tow service of my choice and AAA will reimburse me. And they did. Was only a minor hassle as I had to mail in the original copy of the receipt from the private towing company that was NOT involved with AAA in any way. Not sure what would happen if it got lost in the mail. But AAA sent me a check for the full amount. Took less than a week after the tow to get my check from AAA. But I mailed it in the same day that I was towed.
I got the form from here.

Good Sam also covers everything at no extra cost. I used Good Sam once for my RV and twice for the cars. No complaints.I should add to my mention of Coach Net (as Laura & Charles say) that it covers ALL my vehicles, not just the RV, even if I'm not on an RV trip.
Good Sam Complaints GSSo.... We've been living in our MH since April, but pretty "stable".....
1 1/2 months at a mobile home park, then at a campground as a "seasonal"
Now we're looking at hitting the road.....
Figuring we ought to get RV oriented Roadside Assistance
Any thoughts on Good Sam Roadside versus AAA?
The Good Sam looks pretty good.....
but, don't know if it lives up to its promises, and AAA is so well established and well known
Really appreciate people's thoughts, experiences, opinions, etc
Thanks

Over the years in this forum, I find all the messages about roadside service to be rather inconsistent, every one reporting both good and bad experiences--all except for one.I have had very bad service from Good Sam, once having them tell me I had no coverage when I had purchased a three-year plan.
I've not come across that one, Don, so I expect you'll need to touch base with the dealer, or maybe the manufacturer, depending on who is supplying that subscription. Or maybe Coach Net would know.I joined Coach-net a few days ago for the $249.00.
But yesterday, while I was in my new RV, I saw a sticker by the driver's side that says something like "This RV comes with a free Coach-net subscription". How does that work?
For how long "free"?

Yeah, there was a phone number on the sticker, I will give them a call and see what they say and then I will post it here.I've not come across that one, Don, so I expect you'll need to touch base with the dealer, or maybe the manufacturer, depending on who is supplying that subscription.
