Probably should start a new thread, but does it make sense to get ERS for a PUP?
Since it is a lightweight, towed trailer with an onboard spare, I really wouldn't consider it, execpt I just watched my BIL's PUP lose a wheel going down the highway (lugs all came out, wheel caught and burned through tire, then all the way off).
Other than that, what situations would make sense to have such service for a PUP?

A failed wheel bearing like what happened to me earlier this year. Or what if your tow vehicle becomes disabled and needs to be towed. Who is going to tow your trailer or do you plan on leaving it along the side of the road for a few days?
I want to leave this earth quietly in my sleep like my grandfather and not like the hysterical, screaming passengers riding in granddad's RV just before the big crash.

IF something breaks , like your tow vehicle, they will take your camper to nearest campground to wait out repairs. Thumbs up for me!

Thumbs UP! and much cheaper than AAA RV
I don't doubt that's GS's official policy, but I've also had the experience of working with the tow-truck driver to choose the best place to take my RV.
Also, remember that some regions of AAA don't offer the "RV-Plus" service and if you break down in one of those regions, they probably won't have the referral resources you need.
I've never needed it, but my daughter has called them for flat tires and locking herself out of her car. So she sure likes me having it! Covering all of your family and other vehicles sure is nice. It doesn't take much to get your $100 back.
