August 31, 2007 – Affinity Group Inc. Contract to Road America.

Miami, FL—Road America, one of the nation’s leading providers of roadside assistance services, announced today that it has been awarded a three-year contract by Affinity Group, Inc. to fulfill 24-hour roadside assistance and specialty services to Good Sam Emergency Road Service, Camping World RoadCare, and Affinity Road & Travel’s CVP and Road Assist product lines. These roadside assistance services are especially designed for RVers, and are exclusively offered to members of the Good Sam Club (the nation’s largest RV club with over a million members), members of Coast to Coast Resorts, and customers of Camping World stores.

While searching for a partner, Affinity Group was looking for a comprehensive network that could provide roadside assistance to not only cars and pick-up trucks, but could also handle large travel trailers and 40 foot motorhomes. With this agreement, roadside services will be provided by Road America’s qualified and rated network of light, medium and heavy duty independent service providers. “Road America is one of the premier dispatch providers in the world, and we look forward to working with them to develop new and exciting benefits for our members”, says Mark Kupper, Executive Vice President at Affinity Road & Travel Club.

With more than 28 years of experience behind it, Road America has earned a reputation for integrity, innovation, and delivering the highest standards of service in the industry. Beginning January 1, 2008, those qualities and experience will be “on call” to all AGI and Good Sam members across North America.
