| The Aliner Owners Club was voted into existence at the first Aliner Rally on June 2, 2001. It is made up of member volunteers that maintain this website, produce the quarterly newsletter, annual members directory, and solicit and process new members into the club. The purpose of the club is to promote camaraderie among this unique breed of campers through regional and annual rallies and the sharing of adventures and experiences on this website. A yearly appointed rally committee determines the time and location of the next National Rally as well as associated activities. Regional directors are volunteers that promote campouts including members in their area throughout the camping season. This allows a greater number of club members to participate in Aliner club get togethers even if they cannot attend the annual rally. The mailing address for the club is as follows. Membership application forms are available on this website or can be requested from the following address:
