I've looked but ... I don't buy that much at Camping World, so the discount doesn't do much for me. The gas discounts in most places just bring the prices down to what the competition is offering in the area. I like to camp in places where I can do hiking and off-roading which usually means State and National Parks. I've tried looking on the Good Sam web site to find out more about the 1,000's of RV Parks that offer discounts, but it appears you have to be a member before you can even find out where these parks are and what they offer. I've tried to find information on the local chapters and what they have to offer, but again it appears you need to join before you can get some of that information. What little info is available seems to indicate that the local groups get together a couple times a year to swap cookies and go outlet mall shopping. Hmmm, no thanks.
BTW, I have the same "problem" with other RV Clubs like Escapees. I'd love to join some RV groups that do things like Habit for Humanity builds, disaster cleanup, outdoor activities like hiking, backpacking and 4-wheeling but the details seem to be hidden behind a requirement to "join first, find out later".
Oh, and the few times I do go to Camping World I get bombarded at the door with "an offer I just can't refuse" - a free trial camping weekend at Thousand Trails. Been there, done that. No thanks.
So maybe I'm just an odd duck when it comes to RVing and camping. But I know I'm not the only one because I've met a lot of other RVers just like me. It would be nice to find an RV club, or clubs, that are more aligned to what we enjoy doing.
