Wow, every time I read a new post on these forums about GSRA, GS memberships, and Camping World, it just gets worse and worse. This is so sad.
Well it's nothing new now is it? As far as their clubs and memberships read the fine print. "We reserve the right to change the terms at any time for any reason".
For a fun time take a Camping World Flyer, take the super sale members only price and do a web search for the exact same sku of anything in that rag. It will be substantially cheaper elsewhere.
You have to read some of the emporer Marcus Augustus Earaelius Lemonis's books to understand it. It's all about making as much "profit" in the present as is possible, and when the entire house of cards comes tumbling down which it eventually will, so be it. That's what bankruptcy is for as the money has already been made, sucked off, and squirreled away in the next endeavor. He is a smart SOB and the people who buy into this whole deal on the bottom end are not so smart. Now if you owned a local dealership and entered into an agreement to affiliate with CW that might be a smart move financially for the present. But when the s hit hits the fan if you retain ownership and go back to independent just be prepared to spend years rebuilding your customer base.
