With the objective in view of stimulating a greater interest and development of the principles of good camping, ecological awareness, decency, harmony through the Chapter, fellowship among campers, reverence of woodlands, forests and wilderness areas that are our heritage, aid to fellow campers in an emergency situation no matter how small or how serious, safety in all situations, kindness for our fellow human beings and all wildlife throughout the world and with the avid desire of creating an enthusiasm which, by reason of example, will serve to awaken a spirit of emulation, and cooperation to the same end throughout the camping world, we hereby form ourselves into the Time to Travel Sams Chapter of the Good Sam Recreational Vehicle Club, adhering to the following principles:

	I will stop and give aid to fellow campers where safety and traffic conditions permit. I will not attempt to stop and give aid on turn?pikes, freeways or expressways, but instead will give three short blasts on my born to indicate that I am reporting the breakdown to the nearest patrol, toll gate or police department.
	If I am broken down on the expressway, I will raise the hood of my vehicle to indicate I am in need of assistance and will stay with the vehicle until help arrives.
	I will drive within the law and with consideration for others.
	I will watch following traffic on upgrades and pull off the road as soon as possible whenever I am causing a slowdown.
	I agree to observe and cause to be observed, all posted rules and regulations for the betterment of the enjoyment of outdoor recreational facilities.
	I will leave my campsite in better condition than I found it.
