Our History

The journey of NAARVA began in 1994 with a small group of African American RV owners who recognized the need for a community where individuals could share their experiences, challenges, and joys of RVing. Since then, NAARVA has evolved into a national association with members in all corners of the United States, holding annual rallies, regional events, and contributing to charitable causes.

Our Values

• Community: Building a strong, supportive community of RVers.

• Adventure: Encouraging exploration and adventure in the great outdoors.

• Inclusivity: Fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued.

• Education: Providing resources and opportunities for learning about RVing, safety, and the environment.

• Heritage: Celebrating and promoting the rich cultural heritage of African Americans through RVing.

Our Impact

Over the years, NAARVA has significantly impacted promoting outdoor recreational activities among families, providing a platform for education, community service, and cultural exchange. Through our events, initiatives, and partnerships, we continue to advocate for diversity and inclusion within the RVing community and beyond.

Join Us

Whether you're a seasoned RVer or new to the lifestyle, we welcome you to join our community. Together, we'll explore the beauty of the outdoors, share experiences, and create unforgettable memories.
