History of Holiday Rambler RV Club

min read

Members of the Holiday Rambler Recreational Vehicle Club (HRRVC) have a deep loyalty and strong pride for their organization, for it was after all, Holiday Rambler owners who conceived the idea of the Club, who established the purpose and bylaws and who made this the nation's fastest growing corporate sponsored recreational vehicle club.

Holiday Rambler dealers first learned of interest in a club from inquiries made by their customers. The dealers conveyed this information to Mr. Richard Klingler, President of the Holiday Rambler Corporation (HRC), who quickly realized the interest in the formation of a club was nationwide. Mr. Klingler gave the idea his wholehearted support and issued the order to use the corporation's warranty files to send questionnaires to all Holiday Rambler owners of record in the Spring of 1964.

From the many replies, eight couples were selected to represent various sections of the United States of America. They were invited to attend an organizational meeting to be held at the Randall's Inn, South Bend, Indiana on July 25, 1964. From these assembled eight couples came the first members of the National Holiday Rambler Travel Trailer Club, Inc. (NHRTTC) and from their ranks the first officers were elected: Mr. and Mrs. Lowell "Lank" Reynolds (HRRVC No. 1) president, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Clutterback (HRRVC No. 2) vice-president, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Leisey (HRRVC No. 3) secretary-treasurer, the first committees formed, and the first regional managers assigned.

These are a few of the milestones our club has made since it started over 45 years ago.
