Roadside assistance provider March 25, 2015, 01:37:20 pm Yahoo Message Number: 151769Ian and Jean; You won't need a roadside assistance policy. The new motorhome comes with a 5 year, or 60,000 mile policy good for running out of gas, lockout, tire problems, drivetrain and other chassis problems. I used the towing courtesy of Ford when my rig was a year or so old. They have a 24/7 phone number for any questions. I used the call center to arrange the tow. Enjoy your new Midbath. RonB

Like many, I travel long distances, often in remote areas, where there is *no* service within 35 miles, let alone a Ford dealer, so I want/need a policy that offers unlimited tow distances and a reasonable "choice" of where the guy eventually drops the rig.The only kicker is needing service where there's no cell coverage! ;-)Joan
