Information for Sourcing Advertisers

Select the pdf icon to open/view/print.

A suggestion was made at the Victorian Region’s Rally in Bright that it would be beneficial for members to have information to use when talking to prospective advertisers for our club magazine.

In response to this the club has produced an Advertising Prospectus which will be made available to members via the website and delegates. The one page A4 prospectus provides information about the ATRVC and the Traveller, and details the options available for businesses to advertise in The Traveller. The Editor’s contact details are also included.

When they are talking to businesses that might be interested in advertising in The Traveller, it is suggested that members direct the business to our website where they will be able to view the Advertising Prospectus. Alternatively, the prospectus could be printed off and given to them for their reference.

In either case, a Club Member Business Card and a Club Brochure should be given to the prospective advertiser.

Please view the Advertising Prospectus above.

Respected independent recreational vehicle writer Collyn Rivers is pleased to announce the launch of his new website: rvbooks.com.au

Replacing Collyn Rivers’ caravanandmotorhomebooks.com the all-new rvbooks.com.au includes a wealth of free articles and information on general subjects including buying a new RV, choosing a tow vehicle, reversing a caravan and RV solar, battery and fridge basics.

Technical articles on the site include towing dynamics, fully illustrated RV weight definitions, towing dynamics, RV stability and weight ratios. It also has important first-hand data from major Australian insurance companies on RV accident and caravan rollover claims – these are now made public for the first time.

rvbooks.com.au summarises current Australian towing regulations and includes some draft national towing rules to stimulate debate on this topic.

The site would also like to assist caravan clubs seeking to attract new members. If yours is please let us know as we will include a (free) entry in a section yet to be included.

For further information please contact Collyn at info@rvbooks.com.au or by phone on 02 9997 1052.

About our club

 Objectives and Purposes

The purposes of the association are:

 1.         To encourage friendship, goodwill, fellowship and association with others who enjoy travelling in Australia;

 2.         To conduct such social and educational functions that may benefit members and attract potential members;

 3.         To encourage affiliation and interaction with clubs and associations with similar purposes for the potential benefit of members;

 4.         To act with similar bodies:

 a.         on matters of mutual interest, and

 b.         in promoting safety and knowledge of the relevant laws and regulations;

 5.         To do all such things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the said purposes.

 In the beginning there were many requests from travellers, or some care to be called Nomads, for a club which would provide them with support, information, regular newsletters, and also allow them to attend National and State rallies if they so desired. After much thought it was decided that the time was right for a club such as the ATCM & CC to be formed for people who didn't wish to be tied down to normal type RV clubs, to be a member of a club with all the benefits, and be free to follow their dream. So the club was set up and soon letters arrived from around Australia asking for information. We now have members in every State and Territory of Australia. Our growth program has been controlled to allow us to put into motion the things that we said we would do, and now we feel that the time is right to promote our club more and take the next step. We arrange two National Get Togethers a year where members can come together and make everlasting friends as has already happened at our past Get Togethers.

We will push for the improvment of rest areas, road conditions, safety in Caravan Parks, proper amenities for the disabled, and all things that can make travel safer and more enjoyable for our members and all travellers. We are also a member of the Association of Caravan Clubs of Victoria as well as being affiliated with VKS 737, the 4WD Radio Network for the benefit of members. We are also part of a lobby group of Australian RV Clubs promoting and helping fellow travellers to have safe and enjoyable travels.

We fully support the drive for a CB channel for travellers whether they are towing a van or steering a motorhome. This has been talked about for many years and always placed in the too hard basket. Our club has sent over 2,000 CH. 18 stickers Australia wide with very positive feedback from the truckies. As part of the proceeds of the sale of these stickers, the Royal Flying Doctor Service receives donations. If by our efforts we can save one truck and caravan smash, then it has been worthwhile.

We will be pleased to have you join us.
