But with your sudden need of coverage, for a one-way trip of perhaps a week, keep in mind that agents are generally eager to write a new policy, and it takes a few days before "Company Headquarters" have a chance to review it and cancel it (if they find it "undesirable").
Now, Skoontz, can you point me to Good Sam's information about roadside assistance? I used it once for Millicent, but that was some years ago.

I believe it changed in the last few years. If you check the fine print in the current Good Sam brochures, they state the following (bolding added):
VEHICLES NOT COVERED BY THE GOOD SAM PLATINUM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
Borrowed, stolen, vandalized, or impounded vehicles or vehicles damaged and currently immobilized by fire or flood.
Utility trailers of any type being used for non-recreational purposes, animal trailers and vehicles used to transport show animals.
Tiny Home trailers and Park Model trailers
Vehicles located outside the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Mexico.
Vehicles in a repair facility, off-road area, sand beach area, restricted roadway or toll road where Good Sam is not allowed to send contracted providers or any unattended, unlicensed, or abandoned vehicles.
Commercial/business vehicles and trailers (including but not limited to limousines, taxis, box trucks, buses, semi-trucks),
vehicles originally and specifically designed or licensed for commercial or business purposes (including those converted into RVs or other personal vehicles), and vehicles licensed commercially or in a business name.
Any personal vehicle(s) used for any type of commercial/business purpose(s) or for any other non-recreational purpose(s)

Good news is that for now, Coach-net still covers conversions for roadside assistance. Their motorhome plan also covers the owners private vehicles, and offers similar benefits to AAA.
