One of the biggest benefits I just found out for a Rally I hosted. That is Liability Insurance. I just had my unit send in the paperwork and WBCCI sent me a Liability certificate, thus allowing me to utilize the local towns park and it allowed us to enjoy Happy Hour there - alcohol was allowed with the certificate and without it, we would not have been able to enjoy things such as wine / beer during Happy Hour or dinner, or just sitting around the fire. I did not know they put up the Insurance for such things.

Another fine one is the Courtesy Parking, which I use alot. People are listed in the Annual Guide. I am probably going to use it next week in New Jersey with the new Argosy on it's maiden voyage.

Why join? Because no matter where you are...you are welcome. Just did an evening with the New England group. They posted their rally inthe forum as well as in the Blue Berret. We knew no one and were instant family.

I know you had said earlier that you did not care to camp with other people, but a/s people are the best.

While Caravanning to the International and while at the International Rally I had the opportunity to sit in on several discussions about WBCCI membership benefits. There was a consensus that it doesn't take long for the friendships developed through WBCCI functions to take on the importance of a second family for many of us. I hadn't really thought much about it before, but I view attending the International Rally in much the same way as attending a family reunion -- I look forward to visiting with my old friends, making new friends, learning of the experiences others have had in their year of travels, and reminiscing about those who are no longer with us.

hi- I have a related question, and am a newbie so bear with me: my '72 came with traces of the wbcci numbers front and rear. what is the protocol for dealing with this? Do/can I repaint them? Should I erase them out, getting new numbers if I join wbcci? thanks.

Tphan,
They are actually stickers...if you want the numbers that currently on the unit contact the WBCCI and see if the numbers are currently available, or have an alternate number that will cover up the one you have. I gave up on that angle my AS has 2-3 sets of ghost numbers and the WBCCI wouldn't let me get 88888

The best way I have found to remove the existing numbers is with a bit of heat, like a blow dryer others use a towel and a steam iron.

Goof-Off does a good job of removing stickers of any kind. I just wipe a rag heavily dampened with Goof-Off over them a few times and they peel off easily. I then rub off any remaining adhesive with the dampened rag.

I used that method to get rid of all the Bill Thomas decals (3) on my new trailer as well as the Thor sticker and the sticker on the front by the propane tanks. I used it inside the trailer to get rid of all of the frustrating stickers such as those that come on the Corean, backsplash, stove, sinks, and shower.

thanks- the stickers are gone, just the outlines remain- might leave the ghosts for a while. Is it OK to put up other numbers without wbcci sanction, like the year of manufacture, or my birth year, address, 007, etc? Just want to know what is considered ok as far as personalizing or decorating the outside goes. Do NOT want to step on wbcci's toes- may end up joining one day.

The large red WBCCI numbers identify a member and are not directly related to a particular coach -- the number follows the member for as long as he or she maintains membership in the club. Once a member leaves the club the number is typically allowed to remain inactive for at least two years before reassignment to a new member. If a member owns more than one coach, then the same same number is placed on each coach -- the same numbers appear on both of my coaches.

The coach is yours and how you decorate or embellish the exterior is your choice. If you want to avoid "confusion" you might want to choose a color other than red for numbers you might wish to place on your coach.

Good luck with your coach!
