Well, if my memory serves me correctly, today, April 12, 2014 is the 40th VANniversary of my All-Time favorite Club, originally based in Bryn Mawr, PA, TRUCKERS UNLIMITED!!
I joined in August of 1978 a week after I bought my first VAN. They taught me what is is to be a VANNER. I enjoyed all the activities we did together over the years, especially hosting PA DUTCH Truck-Ins!
Many of us got together last August for a "Reunion" and it was like we had never been apart. I've made lifelong friendships through this Club and treasure them to this day.
HAPPY VANNIVERSARY, TRUCKERS UNLIMITED
ALL RIGHT!!!

I believe the first club campout,8 or 10 vans showed up off Rt.611 in Doylestown,Pa. at an old Ski area in may 1974,i remember jeep freak took his jeep and got lost for most of the day and when he came back with his jeep it only had 2 wheels touching the ground at a time and I asked him what happened he said the ski jump was bigger than he thought and he won't try that again,Excellent time, i still have my Pa Dutch wrist band dated 1975,Thanks for the memories Buddy,joe cheers
