Had two instances of needing tires changed on the road. Took a bit of time (one on a holiday, the second late at night), but well worth the cost of membership.

Howard Truitt Camilla, Ga. 86 PT40 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Roadside assistance - rogerwwebb@... - 04-03-2007 07:50 Bruce's point about changing an unmounted spare is correct, with Good Sam at least. In both cases that I mentioned in the previous note on this subject, they fie ld mounted the tire to the rim at the side of the road and at a parking lot. Good Sam also found me a tire the first time, as I carried no spare in the beginning. I paid nothing extra (other than the tire & giving each guy a $25 tip) in either case. In both cases the guys who came to change the tires probably didn't weigh much more than the unmounted tire by itself. It was amazing how they accomplished the change with levers and jumping on the tire. One change was well worth the cost of Good Sam. I don't have experience (nor do I want any) with towing, which may be a whole different ball of wax.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Roadside assistance - Tom Warner - 04-03-2007 08:27 Howard up until this year I have always used Good Sam but changed to Coach-Net in February and am now wondering if that is a good idea I just got the Coach-Net member benefit guide along with my cards and noticed what I believe is an important notice on page 5. Mechanical Defects And Improper Maintenance " In case of mechanical disablement due to mechanical defects or mechanical disablement due to a) improper maintenance, including but not limited to, use of alternative fuels or improper fuel, improper servicing or draining of fuel separator, failure to maintain the battery during storage and prolonged periods of non-use, or b) fire,flood and other natural disasters, explosions, riots, and acts of terrorism, Coach-Net shall assist you in finding assistance, for your vehicle but all service provider fees and other costs related to towing or other roadside services shall be at your expense". Don't know exactly what it means yet....does anyone else? tom warner vernon center,ny 1985 PT 40 " At 02:22 PM 4/3/2007, you wrote: >Hello All, >Please let me hear from you as to what Roadside Assistance Company to use. >Howard Truitt >Camilla, Ga. >86 PT40 > > > > > >Yahoo!

This is a competitive business and you will not find much difference between the 2 companies. A search on Rv.net will bring up some negatives on both services. Most users are satisfied. The only thing I would note is either service will cancel your contract or refuse to renew if you have a lot of problems. I can understand that caveat. One thing a lot of people do not know is that both services will change your flat tire even if you have an unmounted spare. There is a very small fee for mounting the new tire to the rim. Cheap insurance. Bruce 1988 FC35 |
