If someone else's opinion hits the nail on the head, when your flawed logic fails and you're at a intellectual disadvantage then you resort to calling them names? Not at all productive in my opinion.
So vanning is an exclusive club? A brotherhood? Well, I guess that's better than calling it a "sport".
Whatever happened to the vannin' lifestyle? To welcoming anyone with a van or panel?
I do however sympathize with your position.
It's kinda hard, I would think, to live and practice the vanning lifestyle when you don't even see your van for four months outta the year. That's gotta be the pits.
So, if it makes you feel more proud or more important to exclude someone then go ahead.
In the meantime my opinion on this topic is, anyone with a van or anyone who wants to know more about vanning is welcome at my campfire. But I don't have any awards to give out, except maybe a cold beer.

My Van is put away for six months a year, not four. But in those other six months I attend many truck ins, probably twice as many as you do in two years Catfish. And as far as you seeing those two at your campsite around the fire you wont. Driving a van around town or living in a Van still doesn't make you a Vanner. That's all I got to say on that

This thread demonstrates why I generally don't join groups. I am happy to do my own thing, in my own way, with whomever wants to join me and enjoy my company. I don't judge others if they don't do things my way, or don't do the same things I do. I might disagree with them, but to each their own. All are welcome and respected, unless they start disrespecting and harming others.

If the sentiments expressed above by self-proclaimed "vanners" are the attitudes one must have to be a "vanner," then I am glad I am not a "vanner" and glad I have never had to spend a weekend with such judgmental people. If I went to a van run and encountered a bunch of people like that, I would probably leave and never go to another.


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!

Mr. Honey
Six months!! I thought four was bad! Sorry, I stand corrected.
I don't think I could stand to be away from my vans that long. I'd go into van delirium tremens!
I knew it got cold in NY in winter but I never knew how it got HOT in the summer until we were there for the Nats in Greenwich a few years back. We almost melted...
Have you ever been to a truck-in in the Southeast? It's not near as hot as everyone seems to think.

Very well said! Gentlemen.

"Its not who we are, it's what we do."
But isn't there an awful lot of who we are, in what we do?

As I'm sitting here drinking my Colorado Kool-Aid and reading reply's to this post.
I see how a few of you posters think now.
I don't get the part that we can not call it what it is! So now we have 3 types of posters on this site.
We have the
VAN OWNER
VANNER
And as Wedgy indicated in an earlier post, this will be said from now on a
REAL VANNER.
You can say what you will but REAL VANNERS are the reason for this site, not the self proclaimed "I joined a van site vanner" "key board vanner" or my favorite "I own a van that makes me a vanner; vanner!!!
You all can call yourself what ever you want, you can use your van how ever you want, you can even live in your van down by the river if you want!

I really hope that you posters respect the REAL VANNERS that are on this site and any other sites or social media.
If it were not for them you would not get the van info or help you were looking for in the first place.
You are getting your fix without supporting the cause!!!!!!!!
Real Vanners will help you do just about anything, even give you the shirt off their back. I've seen this first hand, free help and ask for nothing in return.
If you think we are all just a bunch of hard asses your wrong, REAL VANNERS are the nicest people you will ever meet; and are from all different walks of life.

Thanks Wedgy for the fraise; REAL VANNER!!!!

Hey, my pleasure! REAL VANNERS UNITE!!! DANGER DANGER!!! FAKE VANNER ALERT!!!

As I wake up, enjoying my Folgers. What do I find?, exposed, for all to see, the Core Values of
A REAL VANNER.

However entertaining, I do believe his judgement may have been affected by altitude sickness, riding along up there so far above us Peons on his high horse.

Will A REAL VANNER please do a welfare check? Bring him a blankie for his Safe Space? Maybe a pacifier?
Got news for you, REAL VANNERS pull their pants on one leg at a time. You are not better than anybody else.

How many of us have experienced the disdain of the REAL VANNERS? Well here it is. Again. Always the same. Always gets old quick. Thats the difference. UnReal Vanners don't judge. All are welcome. Insidious, I know...

Only REAL VANNERS are REAL VANNERS. Their rules only. We owe them. If not for them... Respect them!
Well, there you have it. Wow...

66NODOOR is entitled to entitled opinion. We don't need your permission for us to enjoy being the Vanners we are. Which we do. In many different ways. Being good stewards of Vanning. In our own Insidious ways. Get over it.

Respect is earned. You've got a long way to go
