What are RV clubs?

There are book clubs, sports clubs, and chess clubs, so why not one for RVs? RV clubs are the unofficial welcome committee for travelers living on the go, who all share the same love: RVs. RV clubs span from nationwide memberships with tens of thousands of people to tight-knit regional circles. There is certainly an RV club out there for you.
Find your group
RV clubs are where strangers who love to wander become lifelong friends. They're networking opportunities for travelers who share similar interests. Whether you're a full-timer headed to the coast for warm weather or a weekend warrior chasing sunsets, RV clubs allow you to swap stories and tips and find friendly, familiar faces on unfamiliar roads.
Travel better, spend less
Sure, RV clubs are a great way to meet other travelers. But they also come with perks—it’s like signing up for your local grocery store reward program—most offer discounts on campgrounds, fuel, tires, and even repairs. Some clubs offer route-planning tools, travel guides, or tech support to make the road a little easier. Think of it as an information-swap community of people looking for ways to live their best lives on the road.
Road trips made easier
Ever spent an hour poring over a paper map or zooming in on Google Maps trying to figure out if a random roadside RV park is legit? With many RV clubs, you don’t have to. They offer curated guides, reviews from other members, and route planners that take the stress out of finding your next stop. Some even send you a magazine filled with campground picks, tips, and travel stories.
Circle the date
Some clubs do more than connect online. They plan meet-ups in person, too. From small group meetups to massive rallies with hundreds of rigs, these events are full of potlucks, tech talks, and campfire RV repair horror stories—eek. For many RVers, these events are circled in red on their calendar, and they look forward to them all year long, including the Newmar Kountry Klub, or the Winnebago GoLife Community, which have meetups throughout the country.
Your roadside support
Things don’t always go as planned on the road. Maybe your slide gets stuck or the water heater decides it’s done for the day (ugh). In moments like that, even if you have connections to mobile RV service, it helps to have fellow travelers you can count on. Many RV clubs offer active forums or phone support for travelers, so you’re never alone on an island.
Should you join an RV club?
If you’re looking to meet new people, save money and time, or get some extra support on the road? Then, joining an RV club is a must-try. You can start small with a local group or dive into one of the big nationwide memberships. And if you ever need help finding the right gear or parts, upgrades, or even your next coach, the Transwest team is always there to help.
