Good Sam Club vs Campers Edge

Has anyone purchased Campers Edge Warranty which includes motorized coverage, Towbuster 24hr Roadside Assistance, Tire & Wheel Road Hazard Protection, Technical Assistance as well as Windshield Protection?
How would you rate or compare that with Good Sam Club? I would appreciate any comments.

We only have the Good Sam Club.
I figure, if and when something goes afoul, I should be able to research and correct it myself, more cost effectively.

Talking with Good Sam, we had just moved up from a tow behind to a class C, both toy haulers.
I liked the part of them covering a roadside flat tire for even my other vehicles.
However, I did hear her tell me it did not cover the cost of not having a spare tire to install, should you experience a flat tire.

With that in mind, I noticed an area below the garage part, behind the trailer hitch.
So, I fabricated a tire carrier, and installed it.
There was even a slotted hole on each side, in the frame, that a 2" pipe fit, that is my pivot point for getting the tire off the tee shaped bracket I fabricated.
I could not help thinking just how much a spare tire and rim would cost delivered, along side the road, no doubt, and not covered.

Another time, recently, our leveler hydraulics went to not working, not even in manual over ride.
My troubleshooting and investigating led me into its system and logic control valves.
I found the directional control valve had stuck between positions.
I replaced the part, $41, but I had to buy 2 as there was an $80 minimum to order.
Then again, my career was a machine repairman/machinist, with plenty of hydraulics experience, intimidated, not me!

I guess I am crossing fingers nothing else expensive goes out, things they tell you would be covered.
There you have it, so far, so good!

It's just how much, and/or knowledgeable, are you willing to get into yourself, vs, paying to have it done.
I still have some youth and willingness on my side!

Thank you very much for your answer. I hope I never have to use any of their services but on the other hand we all have to be prepared as much as possible.

Good Sam versus....

We had Good Sam for our Fifth wheel and now Protective Asset Protection sold to us by the dealer Total Value Rv in Elkhart IN for our Thor Palazzo, getting ready to use it now. Biggest difference I think is that using GS, we only paid the deductible. For the Protective Xxtraride Service Contract, we have to pay it up front and get reimbursed. Good Sam was significantly more expensive as I recall.

Please come back and let the forum know of the process with PAP and how it goes, + how the reimbursement goes.
Everyone is looking for a reliable, honest service contract company--seems like most of them exist to extract premiums with little payout for claims.
Thanks,
Joe

Will do as soon as I get the title issue corrected do to a paperwork error at the dealer, one document listed the unit as 2017 not 2018 and instead of using the other 6 documents stating 2018, the DMV used 2017- so no registration and no until it's corrected, hopefully next week! We have the Platinum coverage with the tire and wheel protection option. Customer service number is 800-323-5771, if you need plan information.
