Who Are We? (above at Smyrna TN campout April 2018)
The VOL State Winnies (VSW) is the Winnebago International Travelers (WIT) Club for the state of Tennessee. Our Club, our chapters, and our members, are well-traveled with monthly outings, high-visibility at Winnebago’s Grand National Rally, and on alternating years sponsor of a Tennessee state WIT rally that draws WIT members from across the U.S. and Canada. We also maintain a close relationship with state clubs of bordering states expanding your camping family and RVing experience.
Chartered in October, 1976, VSW celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2016 and has an exceptional history as an active member of WIT. VSW has earned Club of Excellence status each year (2011-2017) that the award has been given, as have each of our Chapters. The Club includes three regional chapters: Rocky Top Travelers (Eastern TN), Music City Winnies (Middle) and West Tennessee Travelers (Western) providing a full RV experience for all our members across the state.
Whether you are a first-timer or an old-timer, the proud owner of a brand new Grand Tour, a 1984 Brave, or a Winnebago towable, come join us and experience all that the Winnebago lifestyle can be. We are a diverse group of individuals that share two loves — our Winnebago and travel shared with old friends and friends we have yet to meet. Why not join us at our next outing, group adventure, or state rally?
