The amount that they are charging me to renew my membership is about $112++. Thing is, I just checked at Camping World and I found out that the membership fee that they are offering to new members for a 2-year membership for a lower rate. Probably this is just me but shouldn't the renewal rate be cheaper to encourage existing members to stay? I know that they give a lot of incentives for new members, but the difference is just way too big.52011-12-20T02:02:42Zlizzpretohttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/1509/scope/postsI just got an offer to join Passport America for $39.95. We already have memberships with Good Sam and KOA. We are not full-time RVers yet, and so far these two memberships have served really well. I checked through their list of affiliated campgrounds, and there are not really that much my area. But from what I understood, Passport America offers 50% discount on the rates of their member parks, is that correct? Since I noticed that there are a lot of you guys that are members of Passport America, I'd just like to ask how is your experience with them? Are the campgrounds they offer good? Are there any restrictions (like when to book and for which kinds of campsites) that they impose? Feedback is highly appreciated. 192012-04-26T03:21:36Zjosh54http://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/2128/scope/postsFor those who are members of Good Sam's Club, I would just like to ask how long did you have to wait to receive your membership kit? My brother and I signed up for a membership almost a month now, and we still haven't received anything from them. Is this a normal waiting period, or should I call them and follow it up?82012-05-15T03:40:47Zmelissahttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/2242/scope/postsWe just got a membership with Good Sam's Club and their roadside service that (from what I understood) will cover all of our vehicles, not just our Motorhome. We also have a membership with AAA. It's just a regular one. It costs us about $79.95 a year. Given our new membership and benefits with Good Sam's, do you think it's okay to cancel our AAA membership? 72012-05-14T09:20:13Zpadmejhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/2234/scope/postsI was on my way home from the local grocery store, I tried to start my car and it wouldn't start. I called CoachNet for assistance. They said that they will send someone to help out within an hour. Instead of a tow truck, they sent a kid who had nothing more but jumper cables. He tried to start the car, and it still wouldn't start. He told me that it needed to be towed (no duh!). So I called CoachNet back about this. Imagine my frustration when they told me that I am only entitled to just one roadside assistance for free. They can send me a tow truck but it will not be covered and will be at my expense. Thing is, if they already sent out the tow truck out and not the kid to begin with, it would have been covered and I wouldn't have had to call back. I ended up having to get a garage nearby to send a tow truck to pick up my car, and still have to pay for it. Is there any way that I can get them still to reimburse me on this? 82012-01-27T02:39:01Zangelahttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/1672/scope/postsWe have a friend from Canada who needs to head back home to undergo some emergency surgery. He's a full time RVer in a campground in Florida. His biggest concern right now is how to get his Motorhome brought back to Canada. He called us up about it because his wife threw a fit given the whole emergency situation thing. Don't camping clubs offer this service to their members? 42009-10-29T19:46:07Zakmshrmhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/139/scope/postsWe have several camp club memberships, some local and some national. We use our Thousand Trails the most I think, but Coast to Coast and CampClupUSA is also a biggy when we are on the road. Would love to hear what others have......122011-12-01T05:01:18Zangelahttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/1438/scope/postsMy husband and I have been thinking about trying to go camping outside the US. I was wondering if you know of any international camping clubs out there that is worth signing up with? 42011-08-02T20:43:13Zabreu88http://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/1081/scope/postsHi I live in the big apple and I love the outdoors. I want to share my passion with others but I cant seem to find any clubs in the northeast. Does anyone belong to a club they can recommend to me?72011-05-27T16:57:37Zlizzpretohttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/913/scope/postsHi All My husband and I just bought our first travel trailer, a 2005 Nash 26z. Our first trip is scheduled for the first weekend in June. Our son will be 5.5 months old our first weekend. At this poing he sleeps in our room, in a sidecar attached to our bed at night and he naps in his crib. Our trailer has 3 bunks, a jack-knife sofa, dinette and a walk around queen. I'm thinking that the dinette would be the safest place to bed our son down for the night. I do have an inflatable bumper to use to keep him from rolling off. My husband thinks we should put him down in the middle bunk for the night. However, I'm not sure I want to fish him out of a bunk for the middle of the night feedings. (I'm hoping the bottom bunk is where our labradors will sleep - since its at ground level.) Originally I had planned to use a pack-n-play, but our floor plan does not allow for one to be set up, even with the slide out. I'd LOVE any suggestions that you may be able to offer. On this, or camping with an infant in general! 32010-09-15T15:04:33ZTimothy Fitzgeraldhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/571/scope/postsThere are quite a few camping and RVing discount clubs to choose from. Rather than pick a random club, it's a good idea to think beforehand about how many camping trips you will be taking in a year, where you'll be going, and your camping destinations. With this knowledge you can make a wiser decision of which club to join. This 'http://www.campingroadtrip.com/rv-and-camping-discount-clubs/'>article on RV and Camping discount clubs should help. 02010-09-04T15:49:32ZOldtimerhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/35/threadid/558/scope/posts Hello all, My name is Galen and I'm the Director of a group called Tear Jerkers Buckeye Chapter.

It is $29.95 to join, and you apparently get a 3rd night free, 10 % discount on the entire stay or other savings. Does anyone have this card? What do you think? Yes, No? Scam?3http://www.campingroadtrip.com/DesktopModules/Forum/Forum_Rss.aspx?forumid=35&tabid=90&mid=545&threadspage=2
