I'm 30 and my wife is counting the weeks until she is as well, and ultimately we've held off joining because in our area there are two issues for us (maybe not everyone).

From our observations over the last 10 months, there is little to nothing going on in Eastern Washington, though I've been talking back and forth with some forums members and people at Spokane Airstream to maybe get something going over here. We found it ironic that for a club for travel trailers, most events seem to be within a few miles of the same location (all at the headquarters)

Second, our limited contact with the chapter here has been slow, but the people were very nice. The issue we saw was exactly the disconnect I hear a lot about on here. We have friends just out of school (and former students still in college) all the way to great grandparents, but if joining a club, it would be nice if all age brackets were included in leadership, planning etc.

I think WBCCI is great for a lot of people, but don't see it marketed for all ages, more retirement age group (no offense) and less for 20's-30's-40's etc and young families

If enough interest gets going and it appears to be of a wide range of age groups, we're ready to jump on it in a heartbeat and become a member and help get a chapter going, but in the meantime, that 80 bucks a year can help offset the axles, tanks, curtains, cushions, appliances, etc and keep me out of the financial dog house a little.
