AAA Roadside assistance isn't telling CSAA about towing—there's no claims added to your record just for towing...

AAA 200 miles for towing is multiplied by how many people you have on your account. I have three people covered, so I can get up to 600 miles--providing no-one else used any...

I wasn't referring to AAA, rather Progressive which I have. They process as claim and that is a downside that Good Sams does not have; which I was referring to. I am a GS member as well. My point is if you have Roadside with your Insurance company and you call it in; it is a claim. Now what they do who knows? We had one hell storm about 5 years ago and we ended up with 6 claims the way the insurance works. When we get new quotes the new prospective insurance always refer to all of those claims Sometimes it affects rates and sometime it does not. Regardless it is plus for Good Sam option and a down side for Progressive Insurance company despite me choosing Progressive over GS.

How much?

Progressive is $14 per year and unlimited miles.

Ditto to dkolman:

Too many years ago we blew a front tire on our RV half way between Lost Wages and LA.

Had AAA and called for help changing tire. Waited hours on the side of Interstate 15 between Barstow and Baker for a response which never came.

Meanwhile, I lowered the spare from under the coach in anticipation of help arriving from AAA. Then jacked the front and changed the tire myself.

We were almost back to LA when AAA telephoned to tell me they would be there in an hour and a half. I doubt you would believe WHAT I told AAA about their crappy service.

Don't have any direct experience with Good Sam beyond observing their prices in their stores are quite high. So much so, we rarely buy anything there.

I remember having a blowout in 1976 Sunbird somewhere in Missouri thousands of miles from anyone I knew. So I figure I would just put on the spare, but there was no jack . No one stopped. I am not sure I wanted someone to stop after a few hours as it was about to get dark. I drove on the flat / wheel to the next exit ( no cell phones) Eventually I got some help with someone with a jack and lug wrench and I was on my way. No Roadside Assistance and no problem. I may have got out faster anyway?

Four seasons I went ahead and got the Premier RV. I didn't have the AAA first but it covers me in my cars and in someone elses car according to what the girl said. Be a few more days before my paper work arrives.

Dkoldman its come with a price. I've been gone a lot from home traveling all my life. Loved what I did would do it again if I had to do it all over , , last 20 years got to live out of Hotels driving a day cab car hauler so got use to the lifestyle. Swapping a company CLC card their dime, free breakfast. Job perks. LOL
Those of us that drive trucks are use to being alone single most of my life huge outdoor boy, grew up farming but I totally understand the feeling . Can't tell you how many nights been on the side of the road especially 80s and 90s. . Put my first load into Calif from NC in 1979 . Every one of my hobbies are still driving. Boats, bikes, , Side by side and the slide in now the new to use 35C. Its a starter RV just gona do the beach for a while, already know I'm loving the difference in the slide in and winnebago. The 24 foot toy hauler pulls one bike and the can am. Bikes in front its also a shop in there. With being able to make the side by side street legal now, it will be our mode of transportation instead of a car on and off road so that worked like a champ timing was perfect. . . Already moving towards that have the tires listed for sale getting something not so aggresive. Might even get a 4 seater with a heater. Our plans were to do cost to cost , with the slide in pull the toy hauler use the side by side for the trails bike for open country playing the whole way stopping , adventures where you found them. . Now the toy hauler will be behind the motorhome.
Custom Goldwing by the way if any of you ride and a nomad kawasaki cruiser. .
Pro drag raced all my life so motors transmissions unless its internal most of the time I can patch it enough to get me somewhere to fix the issue. Will have my own air compressor 150 PSI like i did on the dodge 3500 so i'm set as good as I can be for the most part. Added a tran and temp moroso gauge to the winny, I have to know what my stuff is doing. Old school drag racing doing that. LOL
