Nominate a Deserving Escapees Member for the Peterson Spirit Award!
Escapees RV Club was founded in 1978 in order to connect RVers and offer a structure for befriending, supporting, and helping each other through the unique struggles that are part and parcel of the RV lifestyle. Building and strengthening community has remained our primary focus throughout our decades of service to RVers. Over time, this mentality gave birth to an often-used phrase among our membership, “caring and sharing.” We adopted this as a core value of Escapees RV Club as a testament to the passion our members share, both for the RVing lifestyle and for supporting each other.
What is the Peterson Spirit Award?
This prestigious honor can be granted to Escapees members who demonstrate our core value by going over and above the expectations of others in order to support a fellow RVer in need.
How do you nominate someone for the Peterson Spirit Award?
Any Escapees member in good standing may nominate another member or group of members (10 individuals or less) for this award. Members may not nominate themselves. The nominated action must have occurred within the past year. Nominations must be made by submitting the following information: the name, SKP number and contact information of the submitter, the name(s) of the nominee(s), email or phone for the nominee (if known), a description of the nominee’s specific actions and why these actions should be considered for the award. The identity of the nominator will be kept anonymous unless stated otherwise.
Recipients will be recognized in Escapees magazine, in our email newsletter, and with a plaque to be displayed at the Club’s headquarters. They will also receive a special badge, a commemorative coin and other prizes.

Want to learn more about RVing? We’ve got you covered.
We want everyone to start their RVing journey without too many speed bumps. That’s why we created RVers Online University. Whether you are a weekend RVer, want to pursue full-time RVing, or find yourself anywhere in between, we want to help take the stress out of RV living and help you make the right choices to stay out of the repair shop and happy on the road.
The RV Foundations course will walk you through the operation, safety, and maintenance of your RV taking the mystery out of the various systems of your RV and show you how to maintain it so you can avoid unnecessary and expensive repairs. You’ll also learn about RV and personal safety while camping so that if a problem happens, you will be prepared.
The Roadmap to Full-Time RVing course will guide you along the path towards your new full-time RV life. It will help you change your stationary life into a mobile one, and make sure you understand fully what you are getting into, so you won’t regret your decision to go full-time. This comprehensive course will help get you on the road quickly and smoothly.
