The Club started with a letter in "Motorcaravan & Motorhome Monthly" in June 1988 suggesting that a Club for the owners of motor caravans converted by Auto-Sleepers might be popular. On response to these letters an acting committee was established, a constitution and rules suggested and help gratefully accepted from Auto-Sleepers.
The inaugural General Meeting and First National Rally, in April 1989, was attended by over 230 vans (around 500 people) and Membership then totalled about 650 people. A monthly Newsletter was instigated and small rallies arranged as a means for members to communicate, exchange ideas and enjoy themselves.
At the AGM in 2002 it was agreed the status of the Club be changed from that of an unincorporated association to a Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital, and was registered at Companies House with a registration number 4616969.
