Default AAA is an association

TC has it hit on the nose. The reason is that AAA is an association of state auto clubs...each club has its own rules about what they will cover. The coverage offered for RVs varies tremendously from state to state...but many of the state auto clubs will only tow one vehicle; not both the tow vehicle and trailer...and some will send out only one tow truck to bring in both the tow vehicle and trailer.

Hal is right that within Colorado, AAA has pretty good RV coverage. Venture outside Colorado and the situation could be very different.

I actually have both AAA and Good Sam coverage. Good Sam covers my RVing and my motorcycling as well as general driving. My AAA coverage is somewhat redundant for general roadside assistance but AAA's other benefits (trip books, maps (especially city maps), and discounts at retailers) more than makes up for the cost. I get enough savings from my AAA card at Lenscrafters alone to pay for my AAA membership most years.
