Travel Discount Programs

At least GS has paid for itself quickly, as the discounts are full time and you also save on merchandise in the CW stores (as long as you run from the salespeople). I've used PA twice in 2 years but keep it renewed...as it's a small price to pay for the dream...that will come true once we start traveling more and staying at CG's during the week. If PA cost more, there would be less members. If the PA campgrounds were more active for 7 day traveling, membership would cost more. It's a cheap program we back with a gamble it will pay off.

Actually its a little reversed from that, at least for us: For every RV we've purchased the dealer has graciously included pamphlets and paperwork for just about every campground discount, time-sharing, membership, etc. program there is. The piles of paper here are almost as big (and as worthless) as the paper in the Thor bag...

By "reaching out" I meant and should have phrased..."purchasing". If they would print all that crap they give you at delivery on RV Toilet Paper it would be much better.

I must be living right, I never have the CW sales people chasing me, I have to chase them for prices and stock. But I tend to stay out of the unit sales area and stick to the store. After 20+ years of membership in GS Club, I find the CW discounts very attractive, but do your research as eTrailer.com has good deals as well. And like you, we are hoping that PA provides some great site discounts as we start more travel and longer trips (cross country planned) with our new Palazzo, to visit Grandkids on each coast. Perhaps we will meetup on the road.
