don't most of those automotive riders have about a $100 cap on them for towing? what is the limit on yours?
think I would rely on my RV insurance myself.

no, the RV emergency service company that you paid good money to get should do it without me forking out the extra $400 over the $100, so my output should be $0.

While I do not disagree that the road service you pay for should handle the problem. My comment was that since the vehicle in question was a tow vehicle, not a motorhome, the automotive insurance towing rider may have paid for the vehicle to be towed to a repair shop. I did not realize it would cost $400.00 to tow a vehicle to a garage. There was never any mention of costs other than the road service. The OP wrote it was a TV, and not a motorhome. As stated, he was in a campground, in a safe area and not on the roadway, so there was not an emergency, as in Emergency Road Service. He was towed the next day, while inconvenient as in missing a day from work, they did for fill the request.
I guess I will have to check all of my various road service plans but as far as I can remember none of them are restricted to hours of the day, days of the week, holidays and weekends exempted, if I am located in a safe area, or if it is not convenient for the service.

That would be like AAA saying, on Sat morning, well you're safe in your driveway, so we won't come change your flat tire until Monday, even though you have to work on Sat and Sun. Would you pay for that type of service? I think not and RV ERS is no different, nor would I continue to pay for such service. Think about it folks, you are paying for something you are not receiving, service 24/7 as stated in their own ERS handbook page 7.

Some here seem to equate "inconvenience" (having to wait an extra day to depart a campground) with "EMERGENCY" (on the shoulder of Interstate 10 with a blowout in the middle of no where). Unless your schedule being thrown off by a day delay involves being somewhere at a specific time to have a heart transplant, then I think it's just inconvenience, not an emergnecy.

hey if you will accept substandard service from any supplier, so be it.
I won't.

P.S. for the record, I have had "emergency" road service in my own driveway, once a tow out of a snow bank and another time a destroyed tire changed.

One last question to The Texan. Was the garage/dealer open on Memorial Day, if you know? If the garage/dealer was closed then whether Good Sam's sent a wrecker on the holiday or not, was a moot point. Why tow your vehicle to a closed business? In my experience whether your vehicle was at the garage/dealer when it opened does not guarantee the vehicle will be taken before all of those who had appointments.
