Camping World's Let's Go Camping Package: What's in It, and What It Costs to Buy It Yourself
If you buy a camper at Camping World, there is a good chance you will hear about the Let’s Go Camping RV Care Package. It is pitched as everything you need for your first trip, plus a detail, an orientation, an inspection, and a Good Sam Elite membership. The flyer does not print a price, but from what we have seen, expect it to run at least $1,000, and it is easy to roll into your loan without thinking twice.
Our honest take: for most buyers, it is not worth it. The gear in the package costs roughly $450 if you buy it yourself, and the membership lists for $149. Some of the services are things you should be asking for with any new camper anyway. Below is everything on the flyer, what each piece costs on its own, and what we would do instead.
Please note: This post is our honest opinion, based on a Camping World flyer we saw in 2025 and typical retail prices as of November 2026. Package contents, pricing, and Good Sam benefits can change and vary by store, so some details here may no longer be accurate. Always check current details with Camping World and Good Sam before you buy. We are not affiliated with Camping World or Good Sam, and this is not financial advice.

What’s in the Let’s Go Camping package
This is straight from Camping World’s in-store flyer for the Let’s Go Camping RV Care Package. The flyer does not list a price, and it says to ask a sales associate for details, so the contents and price can vary by store.
Services
- Full interior and exterior detail
- Deluxe walk-thru orientation
- Full inspection of all major systems and appliances
30 or 50 amp Let’s Go Camping Essentials Package
- Deep cycle battery and box
- Wheel chocks
- Surge protector
- Water hose and filter
- Power adapters
- Full propane
- RV tank sanitizer
- Leveling blocks
- Sewer hose
- Water pressure regulator
- RV toilet paper
Good Sam Elite membership, which the flyer says includes free dumping at any Camping World, priority customer service, Pilot Flying J fuel discounts, premium roadside assistance, travel assist, concierge service, and 2,400 discounted campgrounds nationwide.
Another version of the flyer lists two deep cycle batteries and a full tank of gas for motorhomes, so the exact bundle depends on the store and the camper.
What the gear costs if you buy it yourself
These are ballpark prices for a 30 amp travel trailer like our Coleman 17B, based on typical Amazon and Walmart prices in fall 2026. Prices move around, so treat these as a range, not a quote.
| Item in the package | Typical price on its own |
|---|---|
| Deep cycle battery (Group 24) and box | $120 to $150 |
| Wheel chocks (pair) | $15 to $25 |
| 30 amp surge protector | $60 to $130 |
| Drinking water hose (25 ft) | $20 to $30 |
| Inline water filter | $20 to $25 |
| Power adapters (30 to 15 amp and 15 to 30 amp) | $25 to $35 |
| Propane fill (one 20 lb tank) | $20 to $30 |
| RV tank sanitizer or treatment | $10 to $20 |
| Leveling blocks | About $30 (the RVMATE set we use) |
| Sewer hose kit (20 ft) | $40 to $60 |
| Water pressure regulator | About $15 (the Camco one we use) |
| RV toilet paper | About $10 |
| Gear total | About $400 to $560 |
A couple of honest notes on that list:
- Check what your camper already has. Some trailers come with a battery or a full propane tank from the dealer. If yours does, knock that off the total.
- The surge protector is the one place to spend more. A basic one is about $60. A full EMS model that also protects against bad wiring at the pedestal runs a few hundred dollars. If the package includes the basic kind, that is worth knowing.
- Ask what brands are in the box. “Leveling blocks” and “sewer hose” can mean a cheap version or a good one. You can’t compare value without knowing which.
The services: detail, orientation, and inspection
The package also includes a full detail, a “deluxe” walk-thru orientation, and an inspection of all major systems and appliances.
Here is the thing: a new camper should already be clean, and it should already work. A walkthrough and a pre-delivery inspection are things you should expect when you buy any new camper, so ask whether you get them without the package. If the answer is no, that is worth knowing too.
The walkthrough is the most valuable part. Do it no matter what, and take your time. Run the water, light the furnace, fire up the fridge and AC, put the slide or bunks through their paces if you have them, and look for water stains. Film it on your phone. You will want that video later when you forget which valve does what.
The Good Sam Elite membership
Good Sam Elite lists for $149 a year on Camping World’s own site as of November 2026. The perks are real if you use them: discounts at Good Sam campgrounds, money off fuel at Pilot Flying J, propane discounts at select Camping World stores, and free dump station use at select locations.
One thing to double check: the flyer lists “premium roadside assistance” with the membership. On Good Sam’s own site, roadside assistance is sold as a separate plan, not as an Elite benefit. Before you count it as part of the value, ask exactly what roadside coverage you are getting, from whom, and for how long.
If you will not stay at Good Sam parks or fill up at Pilot Flying J often, you may not get $149 a year back out of it.
What financing it really costs
This is the part that makes it cost even more. It is easy to say yes when $1,000 or more just becomes a few more dollars on the monthly payment.
Say you roll $1,000 into an RV loan at 8% for 15 years. That adds less than $10 a month, which feels like nothing, but you pay about $1,720 for it by the end, roughly $720 of that in interest. If your quote is higher, the interest grows with it. For a sewer hose, some blocks, and a membership. Your rate and term will be different, but the math always works the same way: anything you finance on a long RV loan costs a lot more than its sticker price.
When the package might make sense
To be fair, there are a few cases where it could be fine:
- You get it heavily discounted or thrown in. If the dealer knocks it way down or includes it to close the deal, the math changes.
- You truly have zero time. If you are picking up the camper and heading straight to a campground that day, having everything in one box has some value. Just know what you are paying for that convenience.
- You will use Good Sam a lot. If you would buy Elite anyway and the services are things you were not getting otherwise, the gap shrinks.
Even then, ask for an itemized price and compare it to the list above before you agree.
What we would do instead
- Decline the package, or ask for it to be removed from the paperwork if it shows up already added.
- Get the walkthrough anyway and film it.
- Buy the basics yourself before your first trip. About $450 covers everything on the flyer, and you get to pick the brands. Our full list of what we actually use is on our gear page.
- Spend part of the savings on things that are not in the package. A moisture meter for catching leaks early and a good first aid kit matter more over time than branded toilet paper.
- Do a test night in the driveway before your first real trip. You will find out what you forgot while the store is still 10 minutes away.
If you are still deciding which camper to buy, our 5-question Coleman quiz can help, and our Coleman camper must-haves list covers what we added after a year of camping. Before you sign anything, check that your vehicle can actually pull the camper with our towing calculator.

How much does the Let’s Go Camping package cost?
The flyer does not list a price, and it can vary by store. From what we have seen, expect it to run at least $1,000. Always ask for the itemized price before you agree to it.
Is the Camping World Let’s Go Camping package worth it?
For most buyers, no. The gear costs roughly $400 to $560 on its own, Good Sam Elite lists for $149 a year, and a walkthrough and inspection are things to ask for with any new camper. It makes the most sense if it is heavily discounted or included in the deal.
Can you say no to the Let’s Go Camping package?
Yes. It is an add-on. If it shows up already added to your paperwork, ask for it to be removed before you sign.
What do you actually need for your first camping trip in a travel trailer?
Leveling blocks, wheel chocks, a water pressure regulator, a drinking water hose, a sewer hose kit, a surge protector, the right power adapters, a full propane tank, and a charged battery. That covers most first trips for a few hundred dollars.
Does Good Sam Elite include roadside assistance?
On Good Sam’s own site, roadside assistance is sold as a separate plan, not listed as an Elite benefit. Camping World’s flyer lists premium roadside assistance with the package, so ask exactly what is included and for how long.
Is the information in this post current?
It reflects a Camping World flyer we saw in 2025 and typical retail prices as of November 2026. Camping World can change what is in the package, what it costs, and which Good Sam benefits come with it, and it can vary by store. Use this post as a starting point, and confirm the current details with your salesperson before you buy.
Final thoughts
The Let’s Go Camping package is not a scam. You do get real stuff. But you can buy the same gear for a fraction of the price, pick better brands, and skip financing a sewer hose for 15 years. Take the walkthrough, ask the questions above, and put the money you save toward your first few campsites instead.
