To all you old folks out there like me; what's your option on Escapees RV Club? Is it worth joining?

We are members, just paid our 3rd year dues. We just attended the annual Escapade which ran for a week and kept us busy from 9AM to 9PM with seminars, classes, meetups, concerts and other activities. We really enjoyed it and met scores of other RVers.We are also scheduled to go tothe Craborang in Coos Bay OR, if the state doesn't burn down first. For a week of crabbing and clamming and evening get togethers.Then in January there is the Boomerang a get together of 250-300 rigs in the desert off Quartzite for 14 days. Get togethers, musics and other activities.Then in February a week long get together at Lake Havasu for fireworks. Things we won't attend are the Balloon get togther in NM, and the Rose Bowl Parade plus lots of others.They also have a mail service, road service, online training class, a newbie university, online forums in several venues, Guided Tours and a lot of other stuff. Well worth the cost. Oh and they have coop parks where you can stay for pretty good prices. My wife won 7 days at one right outside Yosemite.

You should be able to compare Good Sam club with Escapees. They are similar in many ways. Do you think Good Sam is worth it?

There is no comparison between the two. Escapees offers activities, benefits, RV parks, and even mail addresses.Good Sam offers poor roadside service if you buy it.

We joined because of their ko-op park system. We knew we wanted to go full-time after we retired and became members about ten years before we did retire, and been a member well over 25 years. We winter in the Southwest and live in the northwest. At the time the park we wanted into had a 9 year waiting list. We have met the most interesting people. We would do it all over again if we could.

Do your homework. Research what the benefits are to/for YOU.

Comparison to GS - only fair to compare which features matter to YOU.

Caveat: *If* you join GS (even if you don't continue membership) you
will receive mail "solicitations" for years, and years, & years..:(

Forums? Same thing - what sub-forums ring YOUR chimes - or apply to YOU. Just remember, you aren't the Engineer on either train...:B

And, of course, you don't have to "join" either to "participate" on the forums.
