I recently purchased the AAA Plus service which covers emergency service for my RV and any automobile I or my wife are riding in. The regular AAA membership does not normally cover RVs but the AAA Plus does. I've heard a lot about the Good Sam ERS and looked into it but it seemed the AAA Plus was about the same price plus it would cover any automobile I was riding in even if I wasn't the driver.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has compared these two services and whether I missed something by choosing the AAA Plus plan instead of the Good Sam ERS.
Thanking you in advance for any comments.

Hi Fanman,
There has been discussion about this earlier. I don't have either one so can't give you a first hand opinion, but here is one discussion. You can also use the search feature and type in AAA Insurance for more info.

Based on info that I got from a thread I started about a month ago, I changed over to ERS from AAA+RV as it was cheaper and a lot of people had good things to say about it. The AAA membership was up to about $140.00 for me, my partner and the trailer. GS ERS was $79.95 for the same coverage and some extra items such as the EMS, etc.What with Trailer Life, MapQuest,etc., I really don't need the AAA maps anymore. It's more fun to sit in front of the computer planning your own trips and replanning them and then doing it over again. I hope that we made the right choice, but then it's really not something you want to have to ever use, is it?

Thanks for the information. I may have messed up with the AAA Plus purchase but hey, I hope I don't have to use it. The information was quite helpful and I'm sorry ![[emoticon]](http://www.rv.net/sharedcontent/cfb/images/embarrassed.gif "embarrassed") to have brought up a topic that was recently discussed. Forgot to check the search engine but I'll try to do that next time.
Thanks again and safe motoring. ![[emoticon]](http://www.rv.net/sharedcontent/cfb/images/grin.gif "grin")

I have l;ooked into AAA and GS and compared with my collision insurance with Allstate. They have a plan that is comparable to GS and costs about the same. I have had Allstate coverage for many years and never had any problems with claims. So last trip I bought Allsatate the day I started the trip. 2 days later I called them for a stalled RV in ND. They were super and stayed on the line with me till I was satisfied. I am very happy with the service.

Fanman,
No need to apologize for bringing up an old topic again. I certainly did not intend to imply anything wrong when I mentioned that this was discussed previously. I only mentioned that to make you and others aware that there was information available here on that topic. A newcomer here might not realize that. I frequently will refer back to a previous thread when giving an answer to a question and others often do the same.

Like you, I chose AAA over Good Sam until I had to use it for my RV.
I cancelled AAA and got a refund for the balance of service and sign up with Good Sam & their ERS.

i have had AAA for 14 years but when I checked into there RV coverage it just did not add up they will only cover up to $200.00 per disablemant and you are only allowed (4) disablements per year. How much is it going to cost to have a tow truck come out that is able to pick up a 22,000 pound RV? much more than $200.00. I have not used my GS ERS but its nice to know that it is there. i will probably keep the AAA for a while any way but there RV coverage just doesn't add up right.
