Who can Tow me all the way home ?

[larry0071]

Okay, Not exactly the same as I thought was asked for. This is tied to a medical emergency, the same as the $149 Good Sam platinum plan that I have now.

This does not transport the RV/truck home from a RV/truck related issue... unless I am reading it wrong.

to active FMCA members who experience a medical event and are no longer able to continue their travels

Per my Good Sam policy:

Emergency Travel & Medical Assistance Services**- Platinum Complete Exclusive

If you become ill or injured while traveling away from home, Emergency Travel & Medical Assistance Services will help with costs typically not covered by insurance.

Emergency Medical Evacuation
Transportation Home after a Medical Emergency
RV/Vehicle Return after a Medical Emergency
Repatriation Services
See Member Benefit Brochure for complete benefits
Emergency Travel & Medical Assistance Services benefit up to $25,000 per qualifying medical event

So same/same.... But I do not think that this was in any way what the O.P. is asking. He wants a towing/breakdown service that will return him home. I believe that this will be "on your own dime" if it is what you desire while traveling to far off locations (not staying local).

As a tow operator I have done it a couple times. If it's a camper trailer and within a few hours of break down location I will send either my own pickup or MDT to tow trailer home. If further and not covered by roadside I have towed it as far as they allow and dropped it at nearest rest area overnight. Next morning customer called in again and requested another tow for max allowed distance. Just kept doing it till they got home

191185,
I doubt FMCA (or any other insurance company will tow a rig all the way home). As others have pointed out - that is for medical reasons.

but.... FMCA has some kind of assistance group that would likely help. I couldn't remember the name of their service but it is something by which other FMCA s members pitch in to help. I checked their website and found saw this...

Pinch Hit Driver
Any FMCA member who encounters an emergency that prevents the member from driving his or her RV while on the road may request the assistance of an FMCA member-driver to transport the RV to a chosen destination at the owner's expense.

Does that cover what you are after?

[LV Naturist]

I've been looking at Good Sams, AAA, and my auto insurance..


Nobody that I can find, will offer coverage that will tow me home ..


Example. My truck breaks down, I'm fine with the truck going to the nearest mechanic, but where does my travel trailer go ? they only tow it to the nearest service center ? But it doesn't need service ...

Will anyone take my travel trailer, and tow it across the country home, if my tow vehicle breaks down ?

If I understand you correctly, I ran into a similar situation many moons (and 2 RV's) ago. My wife and I were traveling from Las Vegas to SoCal for a long weekend. My almost new truck broke down about 2/3'rds the way there and had to be towed to the nearest dealer (in my case, it was a factory warranty issue). The tow company towed my truck and trailer to the nearest dealer, and the dealer gave me permission to park the trailer in their back lot until the truck was fixed. I got a rental pick-up (paid under the warranty in my case), loaded up all our necessary stuff out of the trailer (food, clothes, valuables) and we headed back home. The next weekend they had my truck fixed and we drove the rental back, got my truck and trailer, and headed home. There was no need to have the RV towed home because it was secured in their lot.

[powerscol]

State Farm covered my several hour tow from Monument Valley back to Durango. Over a $1K tow bill.

Now a thought - if your hundreds or thousands of miles from home there might be a possibility of catching an RV delivery operator. Any dealer of any brand would have numbers for them. Those are the folks that deliver from the factory and depending on where you are you might get lucky. They hate to dead head back to the factory. Otherwise you might have to drop the trailer someplace and come back after your truck is repaired. I almost had to do that until I found out the towing company was capable of towing the 5th wheel.

[ThePowells]

The "Get your RV back home" coverage falls under the FMCA "Assist" program and not under the Roadside Assistance program.

Here are a couple of highlights from their FMCA Assist Benefits page:

What is FMCAssist?

FMCAssist is emergency medical evacuation and repatriation coverage available to active FMCA members who experience a medical event and are no longer able to continue their travels. FMCA members must be 100 or more miles from home to qualify. Full-time RVers are always considered 100 or more miles from home. FMCAssist services are also available to members when traveling abroad. Some exclusions and limitation amounts pertain to these benefits.

What services are provided as part of the FMCAssist program?

Emergency Medical Evacuation/Repatriation
Repatriation
Emergency Medical Reunion
Return of Mortal Remains
Return of Dependents
Recreational Vehicle/RV Return (limited to trips in North America only)
Automobile Return (limited to trips in North America only)
Pet Return
Prescription Medication and Glasses Replacement
Discount Drug Card

Here is the link for the full description of coverage:

https://www.fmca.com/fmca-assist

This is some serious good coverage for just the price of the FMCA membership.

FMCA has dropped the travel assist program as their provider is offering the plan at a price that is less than FMCA's higher dues cost.

[SolarPoweredRV]

FMCA has dropped the travel assist program as their provider is offering the plan at a price that is less than FMCA's higher dues cost.

I wasn't aware that that decision had been made. At the time I posted my response, FMCA Assist was still listed as a benefit on the FMCA Website.

[krsmitty]

I have AAA RV coverage, well I had never had them to tow me but I needed them to change my tire.

Not sure that was the question.

[Leons_Bad_Side]

I had AAA until they left me sitting on the side of a busy highway just outside of Macon ga. I called them for help changing a blown tire and they said it would be about an hour. We waited and after about an hour we had not heard anything so we called back and were informed that they could not find anyone with a jack big enough for my 29RS fifth wheel. They did not call me back, I had to call them to be informed this. Luckily I had a bottle jack and was able to get it high enough to change the tire and was on my way but I told myself that was the last time I would call AAA. Now with good Sam platinum.
