Hey, how odd. I only registered within the last 24 hours, and I'm using an alias, but in spite of that (apparently the forum software did a search on my home address) I see I have been involuntarily identified as a Good Sam RV club member. It's true I am, and it doesn't really bother me to say so, it's just a little creepy....
THAT SAID, we have gotten a great deal of value from Good Sam and Camping World (same company, Gigi). The Atlas I mentioned shows also shows Camping World locations and self-serving to them as that is, I can tell you as we were driving across eastern Oregon in need of a certain water filter part, seeing on our map that a Camping World was coming up in Boise at which we could source a replacement later that day was both reassuring and essential to planning the next leg of our trip.
Camping World has all kinds of cool RV stuff you can't live without. Fun place to shop. When we got our 07 we went there so often we still joke about driving past one without stopping--doesn't feel natural! In addition to all the manly stuff like levelling blocks, flashlights and hoses, they do stock a number of kitchen/bathroom things but most of what they have is suited to larger Class As. STILL--def worth joining the Club. The discounts add up fast, and friends who have used it swear by the roadside assistance.
You'll find more for outfitting your precious and limited B Van space at a Storables.
What takes us back to Camping World time and again, though? Toilet paper. Last time we were in one, here in WA state, we ran into a couple we knew from Alaska, of all things, and what did we stand in the aisle and talk about that wouldn't be polite conversation anywhere else? Not Sarah Palin--toilet paper! The RV world is a world unto itself, I'm finding.
