G'day,
Here's a "little" survey I put together awhile back. It should help you make a decision on which company suits your needs.
Regards,
Rob M.
G'day,
There have been a number of discussions under with different subject lines. Below I have summarized what was said. As you can see I
have not drawn any conclusions from the information I have merely provided a summary along with some observations and suggestions.
1) Dan G. noted the following regarding Progressive: "The adjuster I was dealing with put me in touch with road side assistance.
That is where I should have been to start with. I got a call this morning from a very nice lady, Vickie. She said because the GMC
has a special drive train that they were paying the 1086.00 tow bill in full."
2) Ken H. noted: "I've been very happy with Allstate Motor Club's RV Road Help plan for many years."
He contacted them recently regarding their tow service and they advised; "As stated in your membership handbook 'Towing to the
nearest service facility and/or minor on-site labor.' However we would like to assure you that your vehicle would be towed to a
capable place of repair.
When calling for emergency roadside assistance we would request you to inform the customer service representative of any special
equipment that your eligible vehicle or RV requires when it has to be towed and / or repaired."
3) Ken B. noted: "If you do not get satisfaction from Progressive, file a complaint with your home state Insurance commission."
4) Steve F. noted: "Not on your freaking life would I ever go back to Allstate." He detailed his reasons for making this statement.
5) Bill B. noted that the Good Sam contractor towed his GMC from the rear which caused problems which "will likely end up in court."
State Farm reimbursed him for the extra charges he paid to get it towed to Tom Hampton's shop.
6) Andy M. noted that he has Allstate RV Road Help and the three times he's used it the services were satisfactory.
7) Wesley C. noted that he has AAA RV Towing and despite some difficulties that he "Will still stay with them."
8) Gary K. noted that on two occasions State Farm Insurance has reimbursed him for two expensive tows, $455 & $1230.
9) John S. noted: Be sure the tow provider rep knows that the vehicle to be towed GMC is a front wheel drive GMC Motorhome with an
Oldsmobile engine. Even though I told them I needed a wheel lift wrecker capable of lifting 4000# and towing 12000# or a low boy
trailer, they did not relay that information to the wrecker company. The first two wreckers they sent could only use a sling so I
sent them packing.
10) Hal K. noted: The folks on another list I receive (RVK9) swear by Coach-Net. Most of them wouldn't have anybody else. In the two
years or so I've been a member no one has complained about them.
11) A number of people noted that if you are ex US Military USAA insurance is a good option. They provide insurance through
Progressive.

Thank you so much for the information on various towing services. I was thinking AAA - someone said they were good.

I have AAA but luckily haven't needed it yet. Make sure you sign up some time before you plan on using it. I don't remember exactly, but I believe they said it wouldn't take effect until 48 hours after you signed up.

We signed up for CoachNet through FMCA. Two days after we signed up, we used
them for an "on the hook" roadside service. About a 25 mile tow. They made
all the arrangements and found us three possible repair facilities. No out
of pocket expenses, no hassle. They have a 1 800 number. Works good for me,
& we had AAA for years. Don't use them any more for the coach.

Wow, Looks like I wrote this AFTER my evening relaxer. Guess that is why they have a spell checker. This is what I wanted to say,"You can't beat Good Sam for RV towing services".

Robert,
Strange, I understood your first message. But the second correction
clarified it for others!
