| | | Need help in selecting a van club | Joined: Mar 2012 Posts: 50 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Mar 2012 Posts: 50 | We (wife and myself) have been on this site for two years now, have spent most of my time rebuilding the van. She's (the van, lol)is at the point where we can use it a lot more. We went to the freeze out this February and had a great time. We also travel to St, Pete Fl several times a year, and found a neat cruise in spot at a local Biff Burger.
We would like to join a local (MD,PA,VA)van club, but want to join one that we would be comfortable with, with people at least similar to us. We have visited several club sites, and haven't seen one yet that gives a flavor of the club. (OK maybe were dense) Don't take that the wrong way, we kinda see ourselves as part of the 2% that is touted here. Were both 60, but act more like 20. Were Pagans (not the motorcycle gang) and free spirited children of the 60/70,s (no were not druggies). So a group with a lot of evangelical Christians is not what we are looking for. Right now were leaning toward the "Performance Vans" out of PA, but I'm not sure that even a "club".
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

I have only met them once and could tell right away. You could also form your own club with 3 members. Goodluck

Some have members that are geographically close and meet every month while others are wide spread and don't get together as often. Some have more rules/regulations than others. Just keep going to van runs and meet other vanners. As mentioned above, you'll find the right group to become part of.
PS: I was checking out your van @ Freeze Out.. I dig the right side doors!

Doug, all clubs and groups are different and some have differing groups within. Some states have more vanners and multiple clubs/councils. Some, like the SEVC, are small but are spread from Virginia to Louisiana. Clubs or councils that have members who live close enough to meet regularly can work together more closely to put on truckins, attend car shows and do other fun stuff as a group. Here at Peach State Vans we don't have officers. We're all retired and so laid back that we adjourn the few meetings we have with "Let's eat!" Attend a bunch of truck-ins and then decide. It really depends on what you want. (btw thanks Jason, we were trying to be as nice as our hosts, the FVC.)
