Escapees RV Club, the organization has grown from a small community into a cornerstone of support and camaraderie for RV enthusiasts nationwide. Their vision, though unplanned, took root and fl ourished, creating a legacy cherished by nearly 200,000 members. Aswe re fl ect on this journey, the Carr family is excited to announce a signi fi cant change for Escapees RV Club. After heartfelt discussions and careful consideration, we have decided to pass the managment and operations of Escapees RV Club’s membership, support services, educational programs and events to Harvest Hosts. This change excludes the Escapees Mail Service and Escap ees RV Parks, which will remain under the management of the Carr family. Why Harvest Hosts? Over the years, we’ve received offers, but none resonated with our values and commitment to the RV community like Harvest Hosts. Harvest Hosts shares our dedication to community, ethics and support, making them the ideal partner to carry the Escapees legacy forward. Harvest Hosts’ unique approach, offering overnight stays at over 9,000 locations, complements our vision of enhancing the RV experience by connecting members with local busi nesses and scenic locations. This transition promises exciting new opportunities for our members, while preserving the bene fi tsand

services you’ve come to expect. The dedicated team at Escapees that is moving to Harvest Hosts will continue to support you, ensuring a seamless process and maintaining our high standards. We extend our deepest gratitude to all Escapees members for your unwavering support and passion for the RV lifestyle. As this new chapter begins with Harvest Hosts, we are con fi dent that the future holds even greater adventures and community connections.
