Why should you belong to a local Chapter?
The Good Sam RV club got its start in 1966 when a handful of RVers
put Good Samaritan bumper stickers on the road and in campgrounds on their rigs
so fellow members would know they could get help on the road. From this small
Club we grew. In the early days, Good Sam Members spread the word at RV parks
and other Club events. Soon everyone wanted to know how to get a Good Sam

You
should belong to a local chapter for the fun, fellowship, games, travel,
eating, craft, love of the outdoors, camping, etc. A chapter is made up of a
varying number of rigs. The individual chapter decides on the number. Chapters
support each other by having monthly camp outs, or during winter months, having
dinner meetings. They camp together and support each other when there are
problems. Local chapters have vests in their chapter colors, patches, etc. The
more who are involved, the more things you can do. Many chapters support local
charities; most all the chapters support Kansas Specialty Dog Service (KSDS) in
Washington, Kansas.
