Just for your consideration: My brother bought a new 2015 3500HD D/A in 2014 preparing for a planned trip to Alaska. About 38,000 on it now. Took off on his 3 month group caravan trip and.....it let him down. In Montana. 65 miles from anything. Hauling his 12,000lb SOB. Bought Good Sam Roadside for the trip. Good Sam could not find a provider to tow him. He made other arrangements that cost him $750.00 out of pocket to tow truck and trailer separately. Dealer said they could not duplicate the concern on the truck, charged him $70.00 and sent him on his way. No trouble since.
I guess what I'm getting at is you can prepare yourself for everything you can possibly think up, but just when you think you're ready....well, s**t happens!

Good Sam reimbursed him.
