Getting a '02' HR class A 36' this weekend. Before I hit the road we were wanting to join a association so if anything happen we could get help. I see and hear of Good Sam, FCRV, with many more to mention. Any in put on good groups but I'm thinking there are all good association. Thanks, this RV'ing is new to us been in class room for 6 mo's now the real test.

Golden Bear, Consider if you will the Family Motorhome Coach Association, FMCA who cater and directly support motorhome owners.

We also have;
Good Sam
Passport America
Kampgrounds of America (KOA)
Workhorse Chassis Motorhome Club (WCMC)
Winnebago Itasca Travellers (WIT)
& FMCA.

If you want to make some new friends consider joining the local chapter of the Holiday Rambler RV Club (HRRVC)

Thanks DriVer, some friends down the road told me about FMCA but I had forgotten the name. I do all my own maintance work but I don't think I want to tackle a flat tire on these big rigs.

FMCA is for motor coach and motorhome owners. Motorcoach articles, motor home blogs, motor coach advice and motorhome videos.

Go the above link and look around at the benefits and etc. Then if you decide to join call the 800 # and ask for member services. The monthly magazine is worth the yearly dues. As for Emergency road service it is hard to beat CoachNet.
With FMCA you may use my # for a referral. JC Barnett F182862.

GoldenBear, You are going to want to see if you can get a Coach Net account. They will cover things like towing, lockouts, out of fuel and flat tires.

From your response, I assume you are looking for a "Road Service" club. I would take a look at https://www.coach-net.com/rvowners/Default.aspx

Not to upset anyone, but you can purchase Coach Net coverage and not be a member of any club or assocation.
