Last Summer on a Sunday in August we were stranded on a remote Forest
Service Road in Western Oregon, when our our 1977 Palm Beach lost the
driver's side lower control arm, when the wheel literally snapped off.
Once I explained the need to be towed to a component repair facility
appropriately 100 miles away in Eugene, Oregon, Good Sam responded by
sending a big 10 wheel wrecker, which delivered us to the service bay of a
qualified facility called Trisand, Inc. Fortunately they had us back on
the road in short order (with much help from Ron Montesi,
Jim Kanomata, DJ Eberhart and Cinnibar). Good Sam picked up the $1,750.00
towing fee with no hassle!.
Before we left Texas with our newly acquired GMC Motorhome, I had wisely
reinstated my Good Sam membership opting for the special rate for three
years of roadside assistance for something like $239-269. I believe I'm
ahead of the game at this point!
I first signed up for Good Sam's coverage something like 25 years ago when
we bought a small Class C Toyota Dolphin Motorhome at a cost of something
like $100 a year (membership+roadside assistance). In the first 10 years
or so of coverage I only had 3 tire blowouts, which Good Sam took care of
appropriately. Value of each service call perhaps $100. I dropped my
coverage for the next 15 years and "self insured" for roadside assistance
needs, saving myself well over a thousand bucks in annual fees.
I'm sure glad I decided last Summer to reinstate Good Sam's plan before we
imbarked on that six thousand mile journey in a new to us 40 year old GMC
Motorhome.
We're about to take off again from Texas for another two months of travel,
exploring the Pacific Northwest, Western and central Canada, and the U.S.
Midwest for the eclipse, before returning to home in September. I'm sure
glad I have Good Sam's coverage ( and they have not sent me a "sorry,
but..." letter!
Hugs,
Vern
