How to join the A’van Club of Australia:
Any person who is an owner of an A-shaped folding camper manufactured by A’van Campers Pty Ltd may make application to become a member of the A’van Club.
Information & Club Policy
The Club was initiated in Feb, 1999 following discussions with Jeff Van Baardwyk of A’van Campers Pty Ltd. Jeff was most supportive of the Club concept and paid for the first mail-out to ascertain interest in forming a club.
Owners got together in Melbourne in March 1999, following the mail-out to all known A’van owners around Australia. The response was overwhelming!
It was obvious that ‘A’vanners’ all over the country not only loved their vans, but realized they had something quite unique – judging by the interest they created wherever they went!
It also became obvious that because of the unique A-shaped design of their A’van folding camper, owners wanted to be able to share experiences, pass on hints and tips and get to know other A’van folding camper owners around our great land.
Only two months after the initial mail-out the A’van Club of Australia Inc. was formalized.
We look forward to welcoming you to the A’van Club family of around 1000 members A’vans (approx. 1700+ people) from all States of Australia.
Main purpose of the Club is to ….
Share ideas of common and mutual benefit.
Encourage co-operation and friendship amongst people interested in
A-shaped A’van folding campers.
Collaborate with similar clubs and organizations.
Provide and publish from funds a twice yearly newsletter – ‘The A’vanner’.
What we don’t do!
The Club is not a forum for individual complaints – any concerns should be taken up directly with the agents or A’van Campers Pty Ltd.
