Check your paper work as I recall when we bought our MH new we got 1 year free with coach-net. But that was 16 years ago. FMCA use to use Coach-net and now have changed to another. You will find people that like or dislike any of the one's you listed. Pick one and give it a try if dissatisfied get a different one next year. If you do a search on this sight you should find info on them. But I would suggest you get one.

Wow! Thanks. Yes I have heard about FMCA. The guy at dealership suggested Coach-net.
Do you know How's coach-net compares with FMCA or Goodsam?

Look into FMCA if only for the FREE emgerancy to bring you back home if something happened while you were on the road 100mi or more from home. Some camp grounds give 10% discount to FMCA,Goodsam,AAA,members. Passport America member campgrounds give 50% off some dates have restrictions. Check out Harvest Hosts and see if that type of camping would interest you.

"and a state park senior discount card"

Yes, Mike, but in our cheapo state Califonria the state senior pass isn't good between Memorial Day and Labor Day....except in the desert...and it isn't good in the desert in the winter....but I still get it...every year. Federal one is soooo much better.

Great point! Thanks!!! Will do

If you are retired, be sure to get a national park and a state park senior discount card. They will save money on admission fees.

We have found this one to be useful.
Got as much as 50% off a few times, paid for itself in just a couple stays.

If you stay for a week or a month at a time, memberships are not needed.
In any event I would not buy any until you have traveled for a year until you get some experience.

Search Good Sam, Thousand Trails, Passport America and Escapees but I'm not a fan of any of them. IMO private RV parks are equivalent to horizontal apartment houses. Dry and boondock camping will get you in beautiful uncrowded sites at low priced federal CGs. County and state parks are usually good too.
