Anyone Else Got this Letter from Goodsam ?
Got a mailing today from Good Sam Roadside Assistance forcing me to move up to the Platinum Level from where we have been for 15 years or so, they were "kind" enough to give us a complimentary upgrade to the Platinum Level for the duration of our current subscription. The letter states that they will no longer be able to service 5th wheels on the basic plan. Has anyone else received this good news?

We don’t use them anymore. Moved to Escapees.

No surprise. We have had Coach-net towable coverage (that also includes any of our vehicles towing or not) for years and they bumped their rate up to $149/yr a few years ago from something below $100/yr.

Rejected them the first year of full timing and went to Coach-Net. Great service with them and never been sorry. Not something, for us, where saving money is the most important thing.

I checked web site and the platinum is required for motorized RV's. I think the standard auto/rv plan (with auto renewal) is $129 per year.

Just found this on Coach Net. This is for new membership. I don't know if renewal rates are different

My comment above was for Good Sam insurance, not Coach Net

I dropped Good Sam's when they raised pricing last year....now have AAA Roadside Assistance (RV plan included) for $85/year. Haven't used their service yet, but hopefully I won't have any problems when I do!

Yes, Coach-Net renewal rates are $149. Just renewed mine last week. I think Good Sam offers a low 1st year new customer rate and bumps it the next year. Coach-Net has a higher 1st year rate and drops it on renewals.

Sounds like Coach-Net for me when GoodSam membership expires. Thanks for the help.

I'm intrigued by Escapees. I hadn't heard anything about them until this thread but they seem to have a pretty comprehensive plan and a lot of stated benefits. Does anyone else have any experience with them?

Marcus Lemonis is quite the business man. We quit purchasing insurance and as many other things from him that we can purchase from other places, when I realized a few particular things about his business approach.

I got the letter as well. I've heard a lot of people talking about how great FMCA is - anybody have any input on them?

We had both AAA and Good Sam at one time. Blew a China bomb on our 10 month 3400 Big Sky on the overseas hwy on the west end of Marathon Key. Good Sam said they would take 4 hrs to get there. AAA said 1 hr. I had a scuba bottle for my impact wrench and a 20 ton jack in the basement. I had the tire off and replaced in 25 minutes, and the fender and slide skirting that got torn off gathered and tossed into the back of the truck and back on the road in 45 minutes total. We dropped GS after that. But we still have GS extended service on both the rig and the truck. If it isn't welded to the frame it is covered. Combined cost is 60 bucks a month..

If it's Good Sam (CW), it's a scam.

Escapees offers roadside assistance plan
We, too, had Good Sam when we started RVing. They were great for years, and then they said they would not cover rigs at dog shows. We, like many others, went to CoachNet. We were happy with them, but became Escapee members, looked at the benefits of their service, and decided to go with them.

Good Sam roadside
One thing that has not been mentioned, is one's own insurance company. We're dropping GS and just using our insurance carrier. I double checked with our agent and all our vehicles including the fiver, truck, etc., are all covered under roadside assistance. It includes everything GS has and then some. They have an 800 number to call. I recently had to use it for the wife's car, and it worked great. They were there in 30 minutes. I would wager that tow companies answer to insurance companies faster, since they know they'll get paid.
