If any of you guys have Good Sam's towing insurance they have dropped towing a converted bus from any type commercial bus, I have 2 friends that were dropped and fighting Good Sam's for the return of there money with no luck.I figured it was going to happen since most tow insurance restricts the mileage and to closest repair center and no one will work on a vehicle over 10 years old now except a private owned shop and that doesn't aways work out great for a owner ,If you have Good Sam's you need to check before you pay or need it
I had Bad Sams for about 3 years, when I got my first bus, and called them maybe 3 times on 2 different vehicles. They always sent the wrong equipment for the job, and it took them several hours to show up each time.
I switched to Coach-Net a couple of years ago. I heard they are better with big buses, but thankfully, I haven't had to use them yet.
I have been tracking CoachNet since Camping World competitor Blue Compass Rv purchased it, they are making changes, I know they moved the call center back to Lake Havasu. I read where the average tow bill on a bus or the larger RV cost $1500.00 plus $8.00 per mile min, I have seen some $7500.00 tow bills lately
Apart from Good Sam and Coach-Net, are there any other towing insurance companies that cater to bus conversions? Does AAA still cover RVs? I insure through National General, but I don't think they offer anything either.
On Coach-Net's website their tab for Service Agreement doesn't work - it just says Error 404. I want to see exactly what they cover and what they don't, especially for $249 a year.
I've used Good Sam twice for my bus, and I just describe it as a Class A Crown motorhome. Maybe my luck has run out!
Thanks, John

I heard AAA will not insure a bus conversion any longer, A friend had to go to Progressive he wasn't happy with the towing price from Progressive.Insurane Co's are like credit cards they change rules then tell you
I've had coach-net for years. Called once for a major recovery plus tow. They covered most which suited me fine. The money saved from that single call has paid for a decade of memberships

John, Coach-Net charges $249 for the first year. In subsequent years, mine dropped to $149.

My Coach Net was $59.00 year for the 18 years I had it.I had State Farm on the Country Coach for 4 years at whopping $16.00 a year, my car and pickup cost me less that $12.00 for 6 months. I never used but my son Rick had his Country Coach with State Farm towed from Wickenburg to Mohave Valley over 200 miles and cost him 0 dollars.My daughter Terri dropped her CoachNet she had the premium package and they refused to tow her SUV with a trailer behind it,I had trouble one time with Coach Net towing a trailer I blew a tire out they wouldn't come out and said the trailer wasn't covered that was the only time I had a problem with CoachNet

That's more like it! I'll just suck it up for the first year, then hopefully see some savings afterwards.
