Towing Trucks

Calling a towing truck for an RV or caravan is never fun. Due to size and weight differences, not every towing truck is equipped to handle the vehicles. Having a subscription with a roadside assistance program can take the hassle out of finding a towing truck in the wee hours of the morning.

The assistance program should be available 24 hours day and from any location. When an engine failure or other emergency requires a towing, the company should handle the dispatch call for the subscriber. In order to make the process go smoothly, drivers should always keep the weight and size information of their vehicles on hand, even if the company has it on file. This extra precaution avoids the sending a tow truck that isn’t suited for the RV.

Towing Truck Services Have Extra Benefits

Calling a towing truck isn’t always the best solution to the problem. For example, during an auto lockout, the driver will require the help of a locksmith to get back into the RV. The assistance program should include this service as well as roadside mechanic dispatches to handle smaller problems.

There are several extras that a towing truck service can include to make emergencies go smoother. For example, for auto lockouts, many companies include special keys that can be dropped in any mailbox if found. The keys are returned to the company, who then mails them to the owner.

Good Sam RV Emergency Road Service has two programs designed to allow RVers to travel with confidence. Some of the benefits even rollover to other household vehicles.
