Friz Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Good Sam's is offering Roadside assistance for $79.99 for 39 hours more. Usually leary of this sales tactic so I thought I would ask here. Is that a good deal? What Roadside Assistance do you use and how much? Obviously I need/want it. Have been out of RVing for 12 years. We will be on the road in a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockofma Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Good day, Fritz. Did you mean to state "for 39 months more"? I personally am not a fan of what was in many years past, a very good organization, so anything that Good Sam's offers today is suspect. An alternative of which we have taken advantage is the roadside assistance offered by Escapees. Reasonably priced, and appears to be of good value (although we have yet to use it). https://www.escapees.com/benefits/escapees-roadside-assistance/ Regards, Michael 2007 Volvo VNL 670 2007 NuWa HitchHiker Champagne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 When something seems too good to be true, it probably isn't true. In this case, sometimes the cheapest is not the most for your money. If you have not done so, let me suggest you consider joining the Escapees RV Club and get the best support system that exists.

Twotoes Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Escapees and FMCA both use the same company for their roadside assistance. Escapees is $99 and FMCA is $69. You can purchase either anytime not just within the next 39 hours. Both are annual rates. I have RA with my insurance, Geico, and with my extended warranty so I have not had the need to purchase either of the above. 2015 Itasca Ellipse 42QD 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock Edition 2021 Harley Street Glide Special Fulltimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewacowboy Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 We decided to go with the FMCA plan. With a HDT we discovered that the insuring company requires a separate policy for the HDT and RV. I won't depend on an insurance company road side assistance again.....we made a claim a few years back for a flat tire repair and it showed up on our insurance background check as a "no fault" claim which raised our rates.
