The more that I think about it I can’t think of a reason why one wouldn’t join a club. The annual membership fees are inexpensive and quickly recouped with product discounts and club magazines. Some groups keep in touch via Facebook making it very easy to get quick advice on where to stay or even meet up whilst on the road. It is a real treat to have friends drop in to visit when you’re on the other side of the country.

Even if you prefer to travel solo clubs provide you with a network of people that you can call on for help and advice. As we all know there are so many questions that need answers whether it is your first van or your fifth. What with hitches, tow vehicles, caravans, places to see, places to stay or free camp.

Then there’s the camaraderie with like minded people to share a laugh, a chat and adventures.

For those folk who don’t wish to travel alone there are musters aplenty and tag alongs to every corner of the country.
