it has been asked:
what is a van
what is a vanner
what is a van evant
...
may as well cover all the bases here
...
so...
what is a van club?
-
i personally have been a member of a "club" for a few years
and i have van'd "independent" for a few years
-
have seen clubs with ONE member and others with dozens
some clubs park together at events,others do not
some have "rules" others do not
some have an "initiation" process others do not
some are members of more than one club
some have meetings, others do not
-
having attended many council meetings i asked one day about joining the council.. they said sure.. what club are ya
..i said how bout Van iN Magazine
the person i was speaking to at the time said
-sounds like a magazine not a club,how bout leadfoot truckers
..there ya go now your a club now pay your dues he said lol
and thats how it happend here
-we have no rules,we have no meetings, we have no initiation process and a long lost count of the number of members ,we have
a banner,there was 150 stickers made last year and a limited number of t-shirts as well were made
-
i know it's around 6 or 10 or so of us all friends and vanners
who all know if there is anything we can help each other
or another vanner with we are there ...
someday we may get "organized" but if it aint broke don't try fixxin it IMO so no rush here ;)

Van oN !

Went to my fist Van-inn in 1977 in Watkins glenn NY ( I think it was "Vans Across America" ) .... at 17 ... boobs, booze and music I was hooked ... everyone was so nice .... Talked my best friend into going to the next one , "Journey To the Center Of New England " in Keen NH. .... He was hooked ... went out and bought a van the next weekend. We took more friends , More people hooked ... So we were a bunch of Vanners hanging out together and decided to call it a club... "True Truckers" We felt that we owed the Vanning community back so we started to plan a Van rally of our own, took us a while. But by 82 we had our first of 2.... "True Truck-inn " and "True Drunk-inn" then some of us got married and had kids ... well you know how it goes... In 2018 , I got back into it . had a club patch from back in the day and someone walked up to us and said what the hell is that and who the hell are you .... It was one of the 2nd year members Kid . Now there are 4 of us ... 3 original members and one Kid ( he has to be in his 30s ) ... Looking for a place to hold another Van-Inn Now ... IN the south coast of Ma or Ri. Hope to hold one in the next couple of years... Clubs are great ! But remember going to a Van-inn without a club is not a big deal ... Cuz all Vanners are friends , Just some you have not met ...
