One thing you can try is putting a listing at www.uship.com. If you are lucky, you might be able to find someone fairly cheap.

Situation

Aug 2009 Truck breaks down in Teslin Yukon
No Garage, No mechanic and no way of fixing the truck.

I had to get it towed back to Whitehorse…..Crap…..I let my 2008 Good Sam’s run out.

I phoned Good Sam’s from the pay phone in Teslin campground. I told them the predicament and they said we can start a new membership for you, but it will take 48 hours to come into effect. I did it.

At first I was really worried and upset….then it hit me, I was stranded in Teslin Yukon by a beautiful lake Hiking, fishing, and pretty much everything I wanted to do, except drive!.

48 hours later I phoned good sams and they sent a tow truck from Whitehorse to Teslin, picked up the truck and me, drove back to Whitehorse.

Garage couldn’t get to the truck till the next day,
Went to the car rental place…they only accept AMA….told them the situation and that I have good Sam’s, they gave me 10% of the rental even though they don‘t take Good Sam‘s….drove back to Teslin to see my wife, dogs and camper. 2 days later drove back to whitehorse to get the truck. Spent $165 on the rental, $380 on the truck repair and I did not have to pay for the Tow!

The tow would have been $550 plus.

One year membership $100.…and the tow covered.

They have me as a customer for life.


If you ever are in Teslin, Yukon stay at the Yukon Motel and Campground. Great people, Great place and say Hi! To Juanita the owner and all around nice person.


Note: The towing company would have taken the truck, camper and trailer to Whitehorse, it was a flat deck hauler, but I decided not too, since I had already it unloaded them.
