Other recommendations other than good sam?

[msubobcats]

Since cw and gs are affiliated and if a person wants to cut ties totally what are other choices? And I am guessing for towing services all would have nationwide service?

Thank you.

My insurance company provides a pretty good towing service.

Coachnet has great reviews

Ford has a 5 year/50k roadside assistance/towing as part of the new vehicle warranty. That and my insurance roadside/towing should cover most of what I can't handle if I breakdown away from home. I cancelled all my "add-on" stuff after doing a cost/benefit on what I was paying and what I was getting. For us, it didn't pay to keep paying for services i never got to use. With a max reimbursement about the cost of the the annual charge, I would have to use the service at least once a year to see a return on my cost. We just don't breakdown that often. YMMV

We have AAA +RV, it provides up to 100 miles of towing for the truck and trailer.

We have had a few breakdowns where it came in really handy, once we were 110 miles from home and we were just charged for a 10 mile tow.

It was pretty cozy for us, 5 + the driver in the cab of that flatbed tow truck, for 110 miles, but it beat being taken to the closest location. I was glad to end up at home with the truck, rather than dealing with getting home and a long distance insurance claim.

The Chevy van we were using for a TV popped the front transmission seal, it caught fire and ended up being a total loss.

Did you loose the camper also ?

Did you loose the camper also ?

The camper was fine, we got the fire put out, before it did much damage, other than wiring under the hood. I had used up the fire extinguisher from the camper and was wondering what next when the upper radiator hose blew and the coolant put the fire out.

May I ask why you are wanting to cut ties? I presently have GS and wonder if there is something I should be aware of to watch out for. thx

Just make sure if you use your insurance it covers your trailer. I have Liberty Mutual and they include towing in the policy but they exclude towing the trailer, even though I have comp and collison on it! So I have GS. But Coachnet is very good and I used them when full-timing. Just got GS because they had a great rate and I think all the services use the same towing companies.

Had good Sam for 25 yrs .the last 2 times I needed them we were told a 4 hour wait on the side of a major truck route before they could come. The other time 4 tires slashed in driveway vandalism not covered for tow..went to coach net .Haven't had to use them yet.i keep getting offers for good Sam $229 a year is not a good price..

They are sort of tied in with cw. Really do like our service thus far and if not mistaken they tow us, truck and/or 5th wheel, much more than a 100 mile limit. Just sort of covering all our bases here. We are insured through State Farm and State Farm tow service has some limited towing policies...

We use AAA- Premier, which was mentioned earlier. Has worked for us.

AAA+, Coachnet, and State Farm. Never used any of them.
My DW would pay $4 for insurance on a $5 hammer.
