Ian 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

I was thinking about Coachnet for roadside assistance but now it seems i won't have to.
---- Certainly a personal choice, but note that the towing policy with Ford's "comes with the new vehicle" is good for the "nearest" Ford dealership within 35 miles, while Coach-Net's "Basic" plan provides for unlimited towing , i.e., "No mileage or dollar amount limits - no out of pocket expense when towing your disabled vehicle to the nearest qualified repair facility."

As ever, YMMV.

"Called Ford for flat repair but was told that due to distance from the service provider I would be responsible for $50 of the cost."

---- This "gotcha" is why I carry an additional, separate emergency road service policy. 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! ;-)
