manholt Report post Posted April 25, 2020 Ross. Now, that's a deal...sounds just like what happened with FMCAssist ! I'll stay with Coach Net and Linda has GS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huffypuff Report post Posted April 26, 2020 I wonder if I can get a refund for unused part of GS? I just got 3 free years of Coach-Net from Entegra Coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted April 26, 2020 Good question, call GS. I would be surprised if the do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossboyer Report post Posted April 26, 2020 We use to have Coach Net back when their service was excellent when Safe Ride (VAS) was the actual provider. We dropped it when their service went down hill. Safe Ride was no longer their provider. Safe Ride (VAS) is the current provider of FMCA’s Road Assist. So I will stay with FMCA Road Assist.

rayin Report post Posted May 12, 2020 Guys, IMO $75/year is a great buy, it not only covers FMCA annual dues, included is the FMCA Assist program. Rather than make a feeble attempt to explain this service, I recommend you go to the home/Assist page and download the Assist details. If you were to purchase this service as a stand-alone program it will cost over $200/year at the minimum level. We feel the Assist program is vital at our ages and state of health. The Roadside Assistance program is a voluntary stand-alone contract, and was IMO under-valued from the beginning, FMCA was making-up some of the premium out of dues, When SafeRide raised premiums 3X the original amount, FMCA was left no choice but to raise dues to stay solvent.

rossboyer Report post Posted May 12, 2020 You can get a refund of any whole unused years of dues that you have paid ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted May 12, 2020 Ben 1 Lane. Feel free! If you think there's a better deal out there, go for it...You'll soon realize that FMCA is the biggest bang for your money at $75 per year...your F# will always be there! Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't believe it either. - more than doubling in one year!! Other vehicle policies are reducing their rates due to the reduced driving caused by Covid-19. I don't think FMCA is looking out for us on this. Guess I'll be looking elsewhere or just using the roadside assistance that comes with our MH insurance from Hartford.

Goschdarn Report post Posted May 24, 2020 Disappointed with FMCA on this one. They promoted the heck out of the roadside assistance for several years. And now the old bait and switch. ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted May 24, 2020 Same with home insurance in the Metroplex after bad hail and tornadoes. If the people who are complaining about the cost should just pay for service out of pocket. One time would make them change their mind on how expensive it is. They may be lucky and never need to use it or have any problems on the road. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
five Report post Posted May 25, 2020 To answer the question in the subject, I signed up with FMCA ERS on 1/20/20 for three years at $74 a year. So yes, the price has gone up. It is called the FMCA Roadside Rescue Program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted May 25, 2020 FIVE...Like you I get the max on anything...never know, when a policy will go up! Brett, since my house on the Island has not sold yet, I'm still paying for a couple of storms! My wind storm & hail premiums is $400+/- more that my home insurance now! Bill, I'm paying for your hail & tornado's! Your paying for our Tropical storms! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I am just glad I am down to paying insurance for only one Diesel pusher now. Here is a deal for those who think the roadside assistance is to expensive. Next month you pay my insurance premium and I will buy your roadside assistance. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted May 25, 2020 Yea, mine is $397, but that includes the 14' Expedition and 13' Jeep! Per month. I also have an umbrella policy on the Ranch and everything on it...that's another $1,600 a year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
