Foremost (Farmers) Roadside Assistance

[Markb777]

I have Foremost RV insurance through Farmers for my Solitude, and Foremost roadside assistance is included at no additional charge. Covers RV & TV through a company called TraveLine.

I’m unable to get much info about this either online or through my agent. Cannot find any reviews either. Before purchasing Good Sam (ugh) roadside assistance thought I’d see if anyone has knowledge or experience with the Foremost (Traveline) road assistance program.

Thank you.

Good Sam (ugh) roadside assistance

While I cannot help you with Foremost (Traveline) road side assistance I can share my experiences with Good Sam. They are not the greatest, they are slow, they are somewhat ignorant of RV needs. They rely on the ability to be able to spend a lot of time on the phone.

Having said the bad part I will give you the good part. I have had my 5th wheel towed 3 times. I have had tires fixed/replaced twice. When my truck blew the engine they towed it twice, initially to a local repair facility that said they could not do the work, then again 90 miles to the nearest authorized warranty repair facility.

It was terribly frustrating working with them when I was stressed out on the side of the road, but later, I realized that they were doing the best they could do. I am not sure that any roadside assistance program could do better.

Keep in mind also, all of my breakdowns are in very remote places with few facilities available, you will get reports of almost instantaneous responses, look at where those breakdowns occur, it's easy to get help when you have 5 facilities within 20 miles, much more difficult when you have 1 facility 45 miles away.

Check AAA Premier RV, Allstate, coachnet, and FMCA

Thanks for the replies, I have checked into all the aforementioned companies but have the Foremost included at no charge with my RV insurance policy. No charge sometimes means sub par service but hopefully not!

I also have Foremost . Have not had the occasion to use it yet. My brother who was a Farm Bureau agent for 33 years travels in a diesel pusher. He recommended Foremost and has it on his RV . Said he knew people who has used it with no problems.

I have both Good Sam and American Family. Am. Fam. is $120/yr. Good Sam is $150/year. I cannot remember why I got Am. Fam. I'm going to drop one. Good Sam covers more than Am. Fam.
