I don't like biting the hand that feeds us...(this forum for example) but I do agree in being honest about our feelings and how these companies affect our lives!
GS is a great RVers club but I can't say that for their add-on "programs" that result in so much junk mail. If we took out all those programs and their cards...our wallets would be an inch thicker!
We need to call and opt out. All of our GS mail goes directly into the fire of the woodstove unopened.
However with the Internet being the way most people communicate why no let people interested in their products just go to their website instead of wasting money on mail?
I believe the only thing we have of Good Sams is our club membership in case we can get a discount at an RV park. We have never joined one of their chapters because there aren't any locally and we just don't do big rallies anymore.
As for Camping World. We can count on one hand the number of times we've shopped at their store in the past 14 years! We can find everything we need at other types of stores we are in anyways. We have never used their RV service.
Newbie RVers may be drawn to CW & CS like a bear to honey but for most of seasoned owners/travelers...we've found ways to make our way through our travels without using all the products both of these companies offer.
The BEST thing is this forum. I'm sorry CW & GS but this is truth!
