Ouch

On a recent trip I ran over some road debris while traveling down I-70 near Greenville, Illinois. The damage was extensive as the drive shaft got bent and the Exhaust Pipe was destroyed. Well things happen but... I called goodsam Roadside assistance at 11am. After 4 repeated calls we recieved a not so helpful assist at 7pm. Also called 911 to report the debris. During the entire 8 hours we didn't see a single Highway Patrol officer so not sure if they removed the debris. Ended up limping to the next exit. Took 4 days for repairs but were happy to continue ue our journey home. Like I said, things happenClick image for larger version

YIKES! I'm SO glad that you are all safe! That's not good to hear about GoodSam letting you down though!

Sorry to hear of your poor response from Good Sam. I had a breakdown requiring an 80 mile tow from the shoulder of I80 in Iowa. One call to Good Sam and they took care of the rest. They reported to the highway patrol, arranged the tow and found a repair center that could handle our coach. Within a couple of hours the tow truck arrived. Honestly I was impressed. Of course I paid for the repairs but never received a tow bill.
