2024 rallies
Who can come to a rally?
Non members are welcome at our rallies provided that they attend with an Airstream, Argosy or Curtis Wright. Of course, joining the club for only 15€ per year gives members updates, early rally information and travel advice.
Do you live outside Europe?
If you are an owner of an Airstream, Argosy or Curtis Wright camper but live outside Europe, you can attend our rallies without your camper by either renting a motorhome here in Europe, or checking with the rally campground to see if they offer rental accommodations.
