Ottawa Valley Vans ? | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 206 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 206 | I remember this Club from back in the day. Are they still around or did they just fad away as gas prices climbed and people had families. I am looking at joining a Club in the Eastern Ontario area. I am going to look at a van this weekend. I was told it's a plain Jane white company van. Only reason I am interested is it's a 70's Chevy shorty van and most of them rusted away up here from the Winters. The price is right $400 and he said there's no rust. No, rust I've heard that before.....lol I'll see this Saturday.

Check out the thread for it!

Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 6,261 | always a way out if you don't want to go...but there are other eVANts too...I am pretty sure there is one in Quebec in August, maybe by then you can have a VAN to get in with...
a note for all......You do need a VAN to enter the gate, but you are not required to enter it in the show! So, if you don't feel it is 'quite done' or not 'show worthy' you can spend more time getting information and ideas about what to do with it or how to do it!
We really do have something for all!

All our eVANts are closed to the public, in the overnight areas, and some do offer a public van show. We have a pretty good track record of safety and security over the years , but that is hard to accomplish with the public walking through your campsite and sampling the contents of your cooler. Van show is optional, but also a great place to look for techniques and idears..... If the public has a van they are welcome to pay the gate fee and enter..
