is S*M*A*R*T S*M*A*R*T
is a recreational vehicle (RV) social club for active and retired military veterans (and
spouses), including reservists and National Guard, from all the uniformed services. Founded in 1982 the club has 54 chapters
across the U.S. that encompasses all 50 states. Touted as one of the “best kept secrets”, S*M*A*R*T
welcomes all eligible veterans, and members believe there is something for everyone in S*M*A*R*T.
S*M*A*R*T publishes a bi-monthly magazine, and has a national website with
links to many of their chapter websites often providing up to the minute information on the club activities, and other interesting
information.
Caravan across America & Abroad - Caravans are another unique aspect of S*M*A*R*T,
experienced members Wagonmaster, volunteer to lead caravans on many exciting travels, whether to Alaska, New England, Southwest,
Mexico, Australia/New Zealand, cruises and many more - S*M*A*R*T boasts the ‘best’ prices in
the RV travel industry.
Emphasis on Serving Veterans - As a social club, we have chapters for golfers, computer users, and for travelers who just travel.
Married or single, owning an RV, 5th wheel, pop-up or just a tent our chapters offer something for everyone. Whether
it is a luncheon, a weekend gathering or a week long campout; activities include simple pleasures such as playing games, socializing,
sharing potluck meals on weekend campouts, and monthly luncheons, to involvement in community activities, volunteering at
Veterans homes and hospitals. Members volunteer and participate in Habitat for Humanity; the Marine Corps sponsored Toys for
Tots, and in the nationwide effort of “Sew Much Comfort”, to mention a few.
A “National Muster” is held every year, in states
with so much to do and see, FL, OK, AL, WA, CA, AZ, TN, VA, TX, to name a few. These musters command attendance from 150 to
700 rigs and you can’t beat the price. Much like the National Muster, S*M*A*R*T also holds Region Musters for all 8
regions across the U.S.
“What do I get for my money?” you ask. Well, how do you put a price on friendship, camaraderie, and fellowship? S*M*A*R*T is an
extension of the best part of the military lifestyle so many enjoyed throughout their careers. So, whether you like the close
knit feeling of a chapter, or you spend your time crossing the states, S*M*A*R*T has a chapter, a caravan,
a muster, or an activity that is sure to interest you.
So,
what are you waiting for? Sign up and start enjoying one of the ‘Best Kept Secrets’ in RV travel.
