Good Sams Insurance
I'm getting a lot of marketing mailers from Good Sam's suggesting I consider their insurance. I suspect they are more of a broker for other carriers. I have Progressive now. Anyone had Good Sams for ...

Remember that the Sam in Good Sam is Sam Walton. He was a lifelong camper and RV'er. But then think about how his main company is run, and how much he did to make it run that way. Remember that Walmart pays employees to call other employees and explain how they can get government assistance...because they pay so poorly and have such poor benefits. Than ask yourself if your trust them as your insurance provider in any capacity. He's dead, but his anti-consumer legacy lives on in his multiple companies. It's all about profits.
Just sayin'.
BTW, I joined this forum in '04, after lurking on it since '02 I think. And the original owners eventually sold it to Goodsam. So this site is another Walton profit venture. One thing that really grinds my gears is that they haven't improved this forum since they bought it. The same old glitches or old fashioned techniques are still alive and kicking here on RV net. For a brief time after they bought the site, I kind of expected some improvements, a bit of modernization. I was overly optimistic.
I am afraid you are terribly mistaken. Good Sam's parent company is Affinity Group Holding, Inc. It is a privately held company and its Chairman and CEO is Marcus Lemonis. It has absolutely nothing to do with Walmart!
Yep, Marcus owns portions in the 50% range of so many companies, he's most likely lost track of some of them, by now. Even has his own TV show concerning some of his dealings. He is the CEO of Camping World as well, who has merged with Good Sam.
The question is, does he own an RV?
