Make The Most Of Your Motorhome

Have you bought a motor home? Have you thought about the benefits of joining a motorhome club?

If you haven't heard of a motor home club in the past, but you're interested in taking yourself and your new vehicle on a motor home club trip in the future, start your journey here. Dismiss the image of campers bopping to a disco beat. Motor home clubs are for the fun loving motorhome owner with a little life experience tucked under their belt!

This type of group started out when keen motorhome owners got together for their outings in order to both enjoy the social aspect and reduce their costs. Financially, a group of motor home owners were able to reduce their individual overnighting camp fees by booking together and receiving a group discount subsequently shared between the club members. The clubs had a great social scene and the members were able to interact with other keen motorhome owner/drivers, sharing camping DIY tips and ideas, with a group of equally equipped instant friends. Travelling with a group of keen and likeminded people meant lots of help if a vehicle or indeed a driver faltered.

These groups of keen owner/drivers are now formalised and registered motorhome social clubs. There are now even companies that offer planned and booked motor home travel itineraries. These clubs can be found all over Europe, where a stately procession of motor homes undulating up and around narrow and twisted roads is quite a sight for the Sunday driver. There are clubs that follow the endless highways of the Australian Outback and the USA; like carriage after carriage on a long motorhome 'train'. In fact there are numerous motor home clubs on every continent and in every country including New Zealand .

The established clubs in NZ offer various benefits to the motorhome owner. These days, the modern motor home club issues a monthly newsletter and not only organises multi day group trips and socials but also provides discounted overnight bookings for their members whether travelling in the club group or not. Indeed, the modern motor home club also offers a member specialised motorhome and motorhome travel insurance.

New Zealand motor home clubs aim to promote and encourage safe motor home driving and sustainable domestic travel. Motor home trips are a delightful way to rediscover the nostalgic holiday hot spots of your youth and to explore all the new and exciting places in between. An affordable way to travel, motor homes not only provide one with a mode of transport, but also on the spot accommodation and even better, if you join a motor home club..on the spot and like minded motor home friends!
