About Jason Miller

Hey there! I grew up in Los Angeles, CA and caught the travel bug early during a west coast road trip as a kid. I love tech, coffee, beer, photography, and exploring new places with my wifey. I am a shy, introvert who digs meeting new people (over a beer perhaps?). I truly enjoy teaching others so feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

    We’ve had Good Sam for many years and are quite pleased with the company. We’ve been towed once, flat tire once, and dead battery jump once.

    When we started talking about going full time, your site was one of the first we began to follow. We hit the road in mid May of this year and are enjoying our new life, minus the Covids everywhere. We started a blog, not doing video. Thanks for all the tips and tricks!

    Hey guys love following you guys .
    We have been an Good Sam members for the last 7 years . We have the roadside assistance for the last 6 years . I am up for renewal now and not to happy with their policy of rewarding new people that join for half price . While people that have been members pay double the price ? Mine lapsed 3 days ago and was told by them I am not considered a new member for 6 month. How about doing something for the members that have been loyal and have supported your company all these years . I will be shopping elsewhere for roadside assistance any suggestions ?

    Thanks Al

    We have three vehicles including motor home and have had Good Sam Platinum for 12 years.
    Have had fuel delivered once because of faulty gauge have been towed once from the side of the road at night in pouring rain and used mobile tech once all for RV.
    SUV towed once failed alternator
    The service has been very good whether we were in Canada or USA. We will continue to be good Sam clients in future.
