Coachnet Policy Change July 17, 2017, 08:52:41 pm I picked up the following information from another RV Forum."Coachnet has a new policy that they will only sell their insurance product (ESP, Tires, etc) through the dealer you bought your rig from." A subsequent post on the same topic by another person said that when he tried to buy a plan, Coachnet directed him back to the dealer. I've allowed my policy with Coachnet to expire and will use the towing service attached to my RV insurance if necessary. This is all the information that I have, but if anyone has additional information, please share it.

This assistance is defined as:If you pay the premium for this coverage, we will pay for our authorized service representative to provide the following services when necessary due to a covered emergency: towing of a covered disabled vehicle to the nearest qualified repair facility. “Covered emergency” means a disablement that is a result of:a. mechanical or electrical breakdown;b. battery failure;c. insufficient supply of fuel, oil, water, or other fluid;d. flat tire;e. lock-out; orf. entrapment in snow, mud, water, or sand, within 100 feet of a road or highway.I'm paying $14.00 for roadside assistance, which is a prorated amount for 9 months after I allowed CoachNet to expire. That's it in a nutshell.
Re: Coachnet Policy Change Reply #3 – July 17, 2017, 11:38:03 pm Per the Coach-Net site, I believe that it's only the "Protect" suites of services that are required to be purchased through a dealer or manufacturer; AFAIK, an individual can still join and purchase just an emergency road service coverage contract. The price for emergency road service coverage for a "motorized" RV has gone up to $249.00 per year, and there are no "plan" differences as there were in the past, but one can still buy emergency road service coverage directly from Coach-Net. I renewed my coverage in may, and paid far less than the new member price of $249.00. If one's coverage has lapsed, I'm sure that one would have to re-join and pay the $249.00 "new" member price.Motorized RV Roadside Assistance Plans | Coach-Net Plans
Re: Coachnet Policy Change Reply #4 – July 17, 2017, 11:45:00 pm RE: Emergency Service PolicyAfter twenty+ years with Coach-Net, I have decided to abandon them, too. They not only refused to cover a battery problem, but were snotty to boot - all the way up the line.I contacted our insurance agent at State Farm, and this is what I received back from him. I will need to get a handle on what is covered, but we have AAA, too, so probably the need to feed Coach-Net has come to a halt."Judie,You currently have it already on your 2005 RV @ $12.80 per year. The 91 Galant & 98 Dodge do not. Cost respectively would be $4.50/6 months and approximately $ 13.00/year. Each policy will need its own coverage. Let me know and Thx for your business!"So it looks like $35. a year would cover our three vehicles.I'm wondering if Coach-Net was recently acquired by a new company. This is usually what happens when new management steps in. They fire a bunch of workers and raise rates! Grrrrr !!Virtual hugs,Judie
Re: Coachnet Policy Change Reply #5 – July 18, 2017, 08:18:55 am Hmmm, recently re-upped our Coach-net Gold plan for another three years into 2020. The cost for all three years total was in the dollar range quoted here for a single year of their premium service. EDIT, it was $213.00. Here is what is provided per their website. I wonder if it has something to do with your state of residence:YOUR COACH-NET BENEFITS - GOLD MEMBERSHIP PLANAs a Coach-Net Gold Member you have access to 24/7 unlimited roadside assistance for all your vehicles - anything you own, rent or borrow - plus RV Technical Assistance, nationwide tire delivery services, concierge services, and more.

Re: Coachnet Policy Change Reply #6 – July 18, 2017, 09:09:14 am "I renewed my coverage in May, and paid far less than the new member price of $249.00.."------Edit: I live in California; renewed Coach Net "Gold Plan" in March, 2017, for one year. Paid $69.00 for the renewal. I would not rely on AAA to cover any RV-related services, certainly including towing, unless one had their "RV Plus" policy. AFAIK, that coverage is not available in all of the many AAA "districts" all over the country; even if it is and a customer has it, I suggest carefully reading the coverage to make sure that it provides what (and where, and any limitations) the customer may assume that it does. I hope I don't ever need the coverage from Coach-Net, but I wouldn't leave the driveway without it.
