Why Join The Good Sam Club?
No doubt you've seen this smiling face on many of the RVs you've passed on the road. Maybe you already know that it's the logo of the Good Sam Club... the largest RV club in the World.
Thirty six years ago a handful of RVers put Good Samaritan bumper stickers on their rigs so fellow members would know they could get help on the road. Soon other RVers were asking how they could join Good Sam and get a "smiling face" decal.
In those days Good Sam members spread the word at RV parks and other RV events. Nowadays the internet is an important part of getting the word out to new RVers.
Even though the Good Sam Club is now one million RVing families strong and still growing, it's primary goal remains the same as it was back then: make RVing safer and more enjoyable, and to save members money through it's benefits and services.
Fran and I consider our membership in the Good Sam Club essential, if for no other reason than to take advantage of the 10% discount we receive at many RV parks. It doesn't take many stays to earn back the modest cost of a membership. I feel the magazine alone is worth it. We also have our full-timers insurance through Good Sam along with our Emergency Road Assistance service. But there are lots more reasons to join... just check out the benefits listed below.
