Post-Delivery FeedbackAug 20, 2026
Our truck broke down while pulling our fifth wheel on Berthoud Pass, leaving us stranded for 9½ hours waiting for a tow. It was an incredibly stressful experience, and unfortunately, Good Sam’s handling of the situation added to our frustration.
The first representative I spoke with did not seem to understand our coverage, and a roadside assistance case was not actually started until I called back later to ask for an update. That initial mistake cost us valuable time when we were already stranded in a difficult location.
Good Sam originally arranged for two different towing companies—one to tow our truck and another to tow our fifth wheel. However, the driver sent for the fifth wheel was not comfortable towing such a large trailer. We then had to wait approximately two additional hours for another tow truck capable of safely handling it. I understand wanting to send the right equipment, but Good Sam should have confirmed the size and towing capabilities before dispatching the first company.
I was also disappointed that Good Sam initially wanted to tow our fifth wheel backward, away from our home, rather than in the direction we needed to go. That did not seem practical and would have created even more difficulty for our family.
The bright spot in this experience was RPM Towing. They were phenomenal to work with. They safely transported both our truck and fifth wheel to their separate destinations, communicated with us throughout the process, and even sent pictures confirming that both vehicles arrived safely and were in good condition. Their professionalism and care gave us tremendous peace of mind after such a long and stressful day.
Although Good Sam eventually got us the help we needed, the poor communication, failure to start our case promptly, incorrect towing arrangements, and 9½-hour wait make it difficult for me to confidently recommend their roadside assistance. For a service intended to provide peace of mind during an emergency, I expected a much more organized and responsive experience. RPM Towing, however, absolutely earned our trust and recommendation.
