Good Sam /RV club ?
I'm new to the RV lifestyle and I was wondering if people are using Good Sam club or any other club, which offers similar benefits. Do you find this helpful? Do you use them for roadside assistance? If you used roadside assistance was it good? I'd imagine they dispatch a local company for towing or to service your battery, etc. In general do you find it beneficial and worth the cost?

At one time we were with GS and had the roadside assistance. Found FMCA membership with roadside included a better value.
Also, I am not a fan of anyone hitting my credit cards several times a year "just to be sure" they can charge my renewal. See rant at linked thread https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...before-renewalJeff and Mary

I have Good Sam, got the first 3 years free when I made the mistake of buying a camper at camping world (but that is another story) just renewed it for 3 years because I got $50 of store coupons so the membership only cost me $25 for 3 years. I use the card to get the gas discount at Pilot/Flying J, use good Sam parks when I can, and use their trip planner to help route our trips and find campgrounds and attractions along the way. My complaint is the trip planner will not download a route to my Garmin, it has to be a Good Sam or Rand McNally GPS.

I also have GS have never used the roadside, only the camping, and the credit card. CC is high interest rate, at least for me, it was, payed it off. The camping discount at most of the places I tried to use it, it was one night only, could not use for longer stays. I you live close enough to one they do have some good sales on RV stuff some times. good luck, and safe RV'ing.

We have a membership I was going to let expire, but have decided to keep it as we have received more discounts at campgrounds than any other a long with benefits and savings at Camping World. Although I am not a fan of CW, in some cases they are the only game in town when we have needed an item NOW. We also have roadside assistance, but luckily and knocking on wood have not used it. I guess my only real complaint with Good Sam is it has become a clearing house for goods and services, but I have lived with it.

I've had GS for several years and used it 3 times no problem. 1) Towed out of sand when I got stuck on a rural Michigan seasonal road, 2) flat tire assistance on the camper while travelling, 3) dead battery on wife's car. Also, I've never had them hit the cc randomly, without notice just to see if it was still good. I'd drop them if that ever happened, even once. I will look at FMCA to compare costs/benefits.

I've had for years. I also have the Platinum Roadside Assist and Travel Assist. Good Sam is a PITA on the renewal thing, very unorganized and way to many renew now notices. They have hauled my 5th wheel a couple of times, provided roadside assistance in very remote areas, and generally have been responsive. They are slow, but they get the job done.
Why Travel Assist? DW cannot handle the 5th wheel by herself, so should I meet my demise unexpectedly she will have a means of getting the 5th wheel some place she can dispose of it without burdening the kids.Dallas
