Escapees through the years.

ALL RVers...


Escapees RV Club has been a support network for ALL RVers since 1978. And by "All RVers" we mean everyone who RVs! From advocating for RVers at the legislative level to offering a supportive community (along with deals on products and services that we all can use), Escapees has been paving the way. 💪 We simply want as many people as possible to experience the freedom that generations before us have enjoyed out on the open road.


👉 This week we have news for you about some current legislation in the popular domicile states of Texas and South Dakota. Please take a look below. 


Then, read about another new BOF, upcoming events in amazing places, and a reminder of some more benefits we offer.


Happy travels, Escapees family!

Advocacy Update

Legislation from Texas and South Dakota


Texas:
SB 396, HB 2272, and HB 4253 that dealt with voter verification of residence are all dead. 

South Dakota:

For new RVers establishing domicile only, the bill requiring a thirty consecutive-day stay has been enacted by South Dakota. This means that if you are going to use South Dakota as your Domicile and plan to vote, you will need to stay for 30 consecutive days in the county in South Dakota where you plan to register to vote, before you can register to vote.


If there are any more updates, we'll be sure to let you know!

Featured Event

Outdoor adventure, rich history, lively entertainment, and community spirit will come together in one stunning location.🌄


🚴 Hike and bike through rugged mountain trails and discover ancient fossils at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.

New BOF

Here's another new Birds-of-a-Feather group! Find more BOFs on our website and in your member dashboard.


Red State Ramblers:

A community of RV enthusiasts—full-time, part-time, and recreational—who connect over a shared appreciation for traditional values, personal freedoms, and a deep love for America. We’re a group of folks who value respectful conversation, faith, patriotism, and supporting those who serve our country, including veterans and first responders. While we’re not a political group, many of us share an outlook rooted in traditional beliefs.


We welcome those who are looking for a like-minded RVing community that celebrates our country, faith, and friendship on the open road.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to have you roll with us! If interested, please email Keith Brown at Mycompletesolutions@gmail.com.
