What Really Happens When You Call RV Roadside Assistance?

What should you expect when you call for RV roadside assistance? Mike and Jennifer go behind the scenes with Jerry Aldridge, founder and former president and CEO of Coach-Net, to learn how an emergency call is handled, how the right service provider is found, and why help can sometimes take longer than RVers expect. Jerry also shares the story behind Coach-Net and his new book, The Road to Coach-Net.

Also in this episode, Jennifer reports on her progress six weeks after knee-replacement surgery, Mike and Jennifer tease the used small motorhome they just purchased, and they answer listener questions about avoiding overpacking groceries and protecting yourself when wildfire smoke threatens your camping trip.
