When your RV breaks down 1,500 miles from home, dealer selection suddenly becomes the most important decision you never thought you'd have to make. That's exactly when Route 66 Network membership transforms from a nice-to-have into a vacation-saving necessity. Greeneway RV is proud to be a Route 66 Network member - an invitation-only association of North America's most exceptional RV dealers committed to providing mutual customer support regardless of purchase location. While corporate dealers offer standardized service within their own chains, Route 66 Network creates something far more valuable: a nationwide safety net of trusted, verified excellence. ## What Route 66 Network Membership Actually Means Route 66 Network isn't a franchise or corporate chain - it's an invitation-only association of independent dealers who meet the highest standards for customer service, technical expertise, and business ethics. Think of it as the "Good Housekeeping Seal" for RV dealers, but with real, measurable benefits for customers. ### Membership Requirements: - Invitation-only admission based on industry reputation and customer satisfaction - Demonstrated service excellence through customer reviews and industry recognition - Technical competence verification through certified staff and service capabilities - Financial stability to ensure long-term customer support commitments - Ethical business practices verified through industry and customer references - Commitment to mutual customer support across the entire network "Route 66 Network membership isn't something you apply for like a business license," explains Matt Ferkey, owner of Greeneway RV. "You're invited based on your reputation and your proven commitment to customer service excellence. It's recognition that you meet standards that most dealers simply cannot achieve." ### Why the Invitation-Only Model Works: **Quality Control:** Every member dealer has been vetted for service excellence, creating predictable quality regardless of location. **Mutual Accountability:** Members stake their reputation on every network interaction, ensuring consistent service standards. **Customer Protection:** Network standards protect customers from the variable quality common with random dealer selection. **Professional Relationships:** Members know and trust each other, creating seamless customer handoffs when problems arise. ## Real-World Route 66 Network Benefits Here's how Route 66 Network membership creates measurable value for Wisconsin RV owners traveling nationwide: ### Emergency Service Support: When Greeneway RV customers experience problems while traveling, they have priority access to Route 66 Network dealers nationwide.
