Item 8.01 Other Events.

Affinity Group Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) istoday apaid ~~holding company~~$3.4 ~~and~~million ~~our~~in ~~operations~~cash ~~are~~interest ~~conducted~~payable ~~through~~to ~~our~~institutional ~~wholly-owned~~holders ~~subsidiary,~~holding ~~Affinity Group, Inc.~~an ~~(“AGI”), and its subsidiaries.~~ aggregate Onof ~~March 24, 2005, in a private placement, we issued~~ $8861.28 million ~~principal~~ ~~amount~~ of our 10-7/8% senior notes due 2012 (the “AGHI Notes”) ~~at a~~within ~~$3.2~~the ~~million~~“grace” ~~original~~period ~~issue~~consented ~~discount.~~ to by such holders for payment of the interest that ~~Interest~~was due on the AGHI Notes ~~is payable semi-annually~~ on ~~February~~August 15, 2010. Previously, the Company also paid the ~~and~~indenture ~~August~~ trustee interest in the amount of $15,000 ~~and~~for the ~~entire~~holders ~~principal~~of ~~amount~~the AGHI Notes that had not been identified to the Company. The remaining holders of the AGHI Notes extended isthe ~~due~~payment ~~in full~~date for the interest due on ~~February~~August 15, ~~2012. As~~2010 ofto ~~June~~February 3015, ~~2010~~2011. The Company’s parent, ~~$87.1~~AGI Intermediate ~~million~~Holdco, ~~net~~LLC, ofmade ~~$1.1~~capital ~~million~~contributions to the Company in ~~unamortized~~the amount ~~original~~needed ~~issue~~to pay such cash interest and has advised the Company that it has ~~discount,~~made ~~remained~~arrangements ~~outstanding~~to fund necessary cash interest on the next interest payment date under the AGHI Notes, February 15, 2011.

As of August 16, 2010, AGHI did not have sufficient funds to pay interest on the AGHI Notes then payable ($4.8 million) and such interest payment has not been made. Under the terms of AGI’s senior secured credit facility (the “AGI Senior Credit Facility”), AGI is not currently able to pay dividends or otherwise provide funds to AGHI to make such interest payment. Although AGHI’s parent company has previously made capital contributions in an amount sufficient to discharge AGHI’s interest obligations, AGHI’s parent has indicated that it is not in a position, at this time, to make a capital contribution in order to fund the interest payable on August 16, 2010.

Under the terms of the AGHI Notes, the Company is afforded a 30-day grace period from the interest payment date before non-payment constitutes an event of default under such notes. We have entered into preliminary discussions with certain institutional holders of the AGHI Notes with a view to avoiding an event of default under the indenture (the “AGHI Indenture”) pursuant to which the AGHI Notes were issued. No assurance can be given as to whether or not arrangements can be made that will avoid the occurrence of such event of default.

If the interest payment is not made by the end of the grace period and no extension or other agreement is reached with the holders of the AGHI Notes, the trustee under the AGI Indenture can declare an event of default and the trustee must declare an event of default if the holders of 25% or more in principal amount of the AGHI Notes request that the trustee declare an event of default. The secured debt of AGI, including the AGI Senior Credit Facility and the credit facility for AGI’s subsidiary, Camping World, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “CW Credit Facility”), include cross-default provisions that would result in an event of default under those debt instruments if an event of default occurs under the AGHI Notes. Upon an event of default, the holders of such debt instruments will be entitled to exercise their respective remedies including, in the case of secured debt, to sell the collateral securing the repayment thereof. In as much as the indebtedness owned under the AGI Senior Credit Facility and the CW Credit Facility is secured, such debt would be repaid before funds are available to discharge any unsecured or subordinated obligations. Because we are a holding company, except to the extent that we have priority or equal claims against our subsidiaries as a creditor, our obligations under the AGHI Notes are effectively subordinated to the obligations of our subsidiaries, including the AGI senior subordinated notes and the trade payables and other liabilities of AGI and its subsidiaries.
