Default Trailer Breakdown - Towing & insurance questions

Buddy had some trailer misadventure on the pull home from the Glen, two nicely bent axles courtesy of a pothole field. Ultimately made it home with some spacers used to offset the rims that were now rubbing.
Anyhoo. I realized that there is probably a gap in my own roadside/towing coverage.
i have geico for cars/street bike and hagerty for race car paddock/trailer and old bike. I currently have an axe to grind with Geico so i am open to new carriers. Family unit is probably undercovered on towing coverage as well, i always viewed offering as markup like extended warranties on vacuum cleaners.

I recall a recent post where someone coughed up big $ to flatbed a trailer home. I was working the phone looking for a towing companies that could pull it 3 hours home, there wasnt a lot of interest on a Sunday afternoon.

Whats your towing coverage /game plan for trailer miscues?

I have good sam for trailering and family towing and road side service. I'm not sure it is still available as I have been told i"m grandfathered since I have had this coverage. I've been a member for 7 years.
Check it out.
AAA plus does not cover trailers

Check out https://www.usrider.org/.
I have their coverage, however, fortunately I have never had to call them for a tow.

I have roadside service coverage thru Hagerty. My policy states it will cover trailer towing up to 150 miles per occurrence.

I can share that AAA does not offer assistance with trailer problems! Lost a tire yesterday on the home from WGI, was having problems with the spare which I was fortunately able to resolve.
