Happy Camper provides discounted (half-price) camping across the U.S. Like Passport, the number of days you can stay at any given campground varies, but hey, a discount is a discount.

Stromberg Carlson Products, Inc.
We purchased a louvered tailgate manufactured by the Stromberg Carlson Products company through Camping World. There were some screws missing and I contacted the company by e-mail about that and about I question I had. My e-mail was answered that day by the vice-president of the company who not only gave me the information I needed but who also informed me that the missing parts would be sent out immediately by his staff. True to his word, we soon received the parts free of charge. By the way, we also love our new tailgate. We highly recommend this company.
