| We travel from Fairbanks, Alaska through Canada and into the lower 48. Has anyone had experience with roadside assistance? Wondering what our best bet is. |

I am interested to hear what is a good roadside service. I have mine through the dealer that is nationwide but knock on wood I have not had to use it. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

| I used my complimentary Coach-Net twice on one trip (once each way) because of blown tires and no good way to jack up the Pod. They did dispatch a tow truck to change the tire for me and it didn't cost me anything, but I was in the middle of nowhere both times and it took an average of about 45 minutes for the truck to get to me. The second (and longer) time, a state trooper provided me with emergency lights for a while until the truck got there; I was very appreciative of that. |

Is there a roadside service for RV’s from AAA or is it part of the normal coverage for a vehicle? ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

| AAA offers RV roadside assistance with their premium plan. For us, about $120 a year. |

AAA Plus RV. It costs more and does cover more things but I can't recall what. ------------- Keith-N-Dar Boris & Betty (Boston Terriers) 2011 R-Pod 177 2010 Ford F-150 |

On our return trip from Alaska I found a trailer brake wire had been broken. I called Coachnet they called back in about 20 minutes they had found a trailer repair shop 6 miles from my location. I could go to them or they would come to me I choose to go to them they fixed the wire in about 15 minutes and charged me nothing. ------------- Ron & Sharon 2015 R-Pod 179 2022 Nissan Frontier No trees were harmed in the sending of this message but a billion electrons were really agitated |

When we had our accident last December, I tried using Good Sam Roadside Assist. No tow company wanted to deal with them. The trooper called a tow truck and my auto insurance policy which also has my R-Pod covered paid for the tow for both our car and our R-Pod. I patched up our R-Pod enough to get home and then our insurance paid for transportation to the factory for repair. We had to go get it from the factory though. The trip to the factory was much less expensive than the return trip would have been. I think it is because a driver can earn some money instead of deadheading back to Goshen. The return trip would have been at full price, so the insurance did not want to cover that. That was okay because we wanted to go and get a factory tour in the process. Bottom line though is that I cancelled Good Sam Roadside Assist as it was duplicating what my auto policy was providing. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |
