Sandie Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Hi RVers! We are looking for recommendations for which roadside assistance program to buy. We are taking a roadtrip from NorCal to South Texas and want to buy roadside assistance. So far, it looks like Good Sam is a good one and we are checking with Geico, but this forum has great members and usually great insight. Thanks in advance! ***Update: Geico "partners" with RV roadside providers that only cover 1995 and newer, we are a 1992!

Drummerboycody Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 AAA with RV endorsement here, will tow 250 miles and it's about $108 yearly, well worth it to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Washington AAA site shows that with regular RV plus you only get 100 miles towing and with the premier which is $169 a year you get 200. I checked because I have the premier plan in California and I know I only get 200 miles. In California though I only get that 200 miles once. If I need it again that year I am limited to 100 miles. Luckily I have never had to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwilliam1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I recommend Good Sams. After buying Grannie on the way home she broke down requiring a long tow. Good Sams pays to tow your camper to the nearest authorized service center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any 'Authorized Service Centers' anywhere for Granvilles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwilliam1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 No Lol! It would be a Good Sams RV authorized service place. I know no one that has an elusive Granville! That’s funny man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 On a slightly more serious note, I wonder if they'd tow you to an RV 'place' (who would likely know nothing about old Toyotas) or a mechanical garage (where they might know something about pre-OBD2 Toyotas)?

1988dolphin Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I use progressive, which is partnered with AAA to handle their RV work. When I signed up, 3 years ago, I was told they would tow 100 miles. I may have changed since then. They pulled me to this place, Georges Auto-Electric and Diesel at 1020 Northcrest Dr, in Crescent City, CA 95531. They were great. They could not get me in because it was late in the day so they told me to plug in and and spend the night on the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwilliam1 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Good Sams towed me to a “mechanical garage” familial with the Toyota truck. I wouldn’t want to go to a clueless RV dealership! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee & Joan Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 State Farm has a cheap endorsement for roadside assist, a few bucks per 6 months. I also have AMA American Motorcycle Association membership which will roadside service ANY rig you own. Georges Auto in Crescent City is JUST GREAT for electronics from old farm equipment to the modern world ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
