I am getting ready to head on a 4000 mile journey with my GMC. Myself, and 12 and 13 year old daughers going from St. Cloud, MN accross hwy 2 through Glacier park. Down to cottage grove, oregon. Then back East, hoping to make a drive through yellowstone. that is like 2700 miles greater then any other trip I have taken in the past 10 years, and I will be about 1200 miles further away from my Garage then my GMC has ever been in the past 10 years. theoretically, I think my GMC is now up to the task, but there is always that possibility of a catastrophic mechanical failure or hitting a deer or accident.
I have always had AAA RV and it has served me well when it has been needed. Even when I have been out 500 miles, I felt fine to easily get the coach home in a catastrophe with the 200 mile tow. Even if I had to drop it off at somebody's I knew and go fetch it with a trailer at a later date. Thank goodness I have never had to do that.
I am considering getting a different tow insurance to have on hand for this trip, but now that i look into them, I am a little concerned it might be no use to me.(trying to figure out how to tow further then 200 miles if needed). I was considering that Good sams is not that expensive, but then I see it says "nearest service center". that term gives more grey area, then what FMCA terms "nearest Qualified Repair Center"
FMCA is twice the cost as good sams.
I do not qualify for aarp. not for another 6 years anyway...
any thoughts as to what different towing providers might a "service center" as compared to a qualified repair center? anybody have the fine print on good sams?
"qualified service center"to work on our GMC's seems to be a matter of opinion in some cases.
worst case scenario, I do have the ability to chase down the coach with a duramax and trailer. but that still costs a ton of time and diesel fuel.
