Why Join a Good Sam Chapter

The story behind The Good Sam Club is 4 decades in the making. A group of RVers began placing a Good Samaritan sticker on the bumper of their trailer while on the road to let fellow RV families know that they were there to help. This idea spread through RV parks and campgrounds across the US and Canada until the club developed into what it is today. Members still display a smiling face on their bumpers, but the club is much more than emergency help on the road. Today, membership to the club will bring you a variety of discounts, services, a members only site, RV related publications and regional groups and activities to link you to other RV families in your area.

 With all that The Good Sam Club has to offer, it's no surprise why over a million families are enjoying the benefits. Members in the club enjoy saving money on travel expenses and staying up to date on the latest products. RV travel is an easy way to meet new people with interests like your family and connect with others around the country. With the number of members in The Good Sam Club, you can feel closer to the community of RVers before you ever hit the road. Knowing that there are people driving and camping along side you who are willing to help out fellow RV travelers can give RVers new to the life, or experienced, piece of mind.

 Once you are a good Sam member, you have the right to join or form a Good Sam Chapter. The main reason for joining a chapter is to have fun. It is also a great place to make new friends. There are 21 Chapters in BC. By belonging to a chapter you can take part in your chapter activities, as well as any of the provincial activities that are taking place. What your chapter does is up your chapter, but most go camping on a regular basis, attend the BC Samboree, fall and spring meetings, or go to invitational campouts through out the province. As well many chapters have social meetings during the cold winter months. Most chapters get involved in community activities, you can be part of the adopt a highway program or contributing to Pads, (Pacific Assistance Dogs) etc. Chapters can have anywhere from five rigs and up and elect their own executive and plan their own activities. By having a chapter, your president is given a place on the provincial board to vote for decisions being made by the provincial body on behalf of your chapter.
