There are lots of different camping and motorhome clubs, especially if you count the motorhome brands' own clubs. But, even if we ignore them, there are quite a few different associations to choose from. What do they offer? Is there any difference? Peter took the opportunity to ask them five quick questions during the fair.

ShareHere are four short interviews with Caravan Club of Sweden, Motorhome Club of Sweden, Motorhome Club and Motorhome mates.

Free is always good 😀 but it's like with mobile phone subscriptions. You have to read and compare, not always easy 😀.
Two out of four look happy 😉
Sunny hug ♥

I remember that "we" were in the Caravan Club when I was little and we had a caravan? But maybe they didn't even exist then 🙂

Ama de casa says:
Had to google, and sure enough they existed! Started at the end of the 50s, indeed 🙂.

Ditte says:
Caravan Club is apparently the largest and it is probably the one I have seen advertised. But it is nice that the range of hooded caravan clubs is increasing and there is certainly room for everyone and some different specialisations.

Matts Torebring says:
We are involved in four out of five clubs, as well as our branded club. There isn't enough time to get involved more than a little from time to time.

BP says:
As a non-motorhome owner, I only knew the Caravan Club. All clubs are based on voluntary enthusiasts who do a fantastic job.

Geddfish, haha, I don't think you should judge them by how our photos turned out. It was quite stressful and messy when you had to take photos 😉.
Ama de casa, yep 1958 I actually wrote 😉 I myself was a bit impressed that they have been around for so long. That they have been around much longer than the others is of course due to the fact that it is the only club that also (and from the beginning only) is dedicated to caravans.
Ditte, it is by far the biggest and is also the only one of the four that also caters for caravan campers.
Matts, not a bad job (although I wonder what the fifth club is ;)).
BP, that's right! At least mainly. At Elmia there were many volunteers from the Caravan Club who kept the fairground in order. And the other clubs have other events, of course.
Nils-Åke, that's not bad! 🙂

Ama de casa says:
Yes, you wrote that, I see now. 1958... But maybe you added it afterwards, because I can't read so carelessly, can I? 😀
