Looking for input on who is the most feasible, liable, usable, RV roadside assistance plan to use for breakdowns and the like.
I had a free coverage from Forest River when I bought the RPod, but now that I've had it for a year with no issues I would like to carry on with one of the above companies.
Horror stories and Heroin alike would be great feedback?

Following. Ours is due to expire in a little over a month.
I used our free Coachnet membership twice on one long trip for flat tires and, other than long delays from being practically in the middle of nowhere, the service went smoothly. That was about 5 months ago.

Interestingly enough.. they all use the same "providers".. Think about it.. If you break down in Winnemucca, they are going to call the tow truck place closest to you, period. I have heard horror stories about every company.

Good Sam Roadside Assistance tried, but could not get a tow operator to come out to us when we had our accident in Wyoming. I would have had to pay and then file for reimbursement. As it was, the officer contacted the on-call tow operator who came and got the car and trailer. My auto and RV insurance are through Central Mutual Insurance, and from what I understand, that will pay for the tow of both the car and trailer. Once everything is settled, I will evaluate, and probably drop the GS Roadside Assistance. Why pay for duplicate coverage?

I'm curious whether any one has AAA [Plus] RV and if it is worth it. I know I have a neighbor that swears by it. I've had AAA for years (and been reasonably happy with it when I've needed it) but only recently have considered the upgrade to include my R-pod.

Don't use either of the above, just my car insurance with a rider for the pod, cost me an additional 35 dollars/year. Could never afford AAA, in Michigan. My Pioneer Insurance (Lansing, MI) is about 40% cheaper than AAA with the same coverage/deductibles.

I need to check our TT insurance. It probably pays for towing, but would not pay for the labor of swapping out tires. Hopefully, I won't have to worry about that again as I have a roll-up jack and a bottle jack now.

I never had AAA+ but I had AAA for my car 10 years. Only tried to use it once why my jack broke in a bad neighborhood and they told me I was not a member. I quit that evening

Hogone, Since you make the big bucks, you can afford it. Little peon's like me can't.

Allstate Motor Club. They will tow the TV and the RV if the TV breaks, also covers my motorcycle. They have always been there when I called. They will even take care of the vehicle you are riding in, even if it isn't yours.
