What Is RVillage?
It’s a social networking site that you “get together” with other Phoenix Cruiser Travel Club members (and thousands of other RVers in general if you so wish). You can set up gatherings, join other gatherings, or invite people to join you for a quick meet-and-greet meal on the road. Communication is easy to do and can be done privately.

General Explanation and Disclaimers
We have set up a Phoenix Cruiser Travel Club group on RVillage. This is a closed group and anything you type on OUR group pages will feed only to OUR group pages – they do not go public. OUR group pages can only be seen by authorized individuals. This means everyone must ask to join the group. The club Webmaster will match each request to the club’s membership roster prior to them being approved as a member of our group on RVillage. If you are using a screen name, please email your real name and your RVillage screen name to webmaster@phoenixcruisertravelclub.org so we can verify that you are a member of the Phoenix Cruiser Travel Club.
How to Join
Open a browser and go to www.RVillage.com.
On a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer, tap or click Sign Up on the top right side of the screen. Fill in the requested information, read and agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and click Join Now for Free.
– When it asks for your location you can select:
o “I’m at an RV park” and enter your location – all RVillage members will see where you are on the map
o “I’m boondocking” and enter a nearby town which is where you will show on the map
o “I’m at Home Base” – your designated location will show on the map
o “Traveling” – you will not show up on the map
Turn off all notifications:
– Select your Profile Icon on the upper right side of the screen
– Select “Notification Settings”
– There are three groupings, open each one and click them ALL off
– You can go back later and be selective in which notifications you turn back on. These settings can be changed at any time.
Connect with the Phoenix Cruiser Travel Club:
– On laptop or desktop computer, from the main menu shown across the top of the screen, select “Groups”, “Browse Groups”. On a tablet, tap the top left side of the screen to open the main menu. Tap “Groups”. Scroll down and tap “Browse Groups”.
– Under Advanced Search type Phoenix Cruiser in the “Search for a group” box
– You will get two results:
o Phoenix Cruiser Travel Club – That’s us! Select that group and then ask to join. Next send a message to the owner of the club by clicking Contact Owner. Make sure to include your name so we can verify that you are a member of the club. Once your membership has been verified you will be added as a member of the group.
o Phoenix Cruiser – This group was set up by an individual years ago and seems mostly inactive. It is a public group so anything entered in this Group can be seen by ALL RVillage members.
– After you’ve joined our group (and possibly others of interest), use the menu to:
o Select “Groups”, “Groups I’ve joined” to get a list of those groups you’ve joined. Tap or click Phoenix Cruiser Travel Club to go to our group’s home page.
o You can go to the settings on the Group Home page (check boxes) and select “Email me of group members arriving in this area” This notifies you ONLY of members of that group, not all of RVillage. If they have a location set near your location, you’ll get an email telling you they are there.
To sign out:
– Tap or click on your profile and tap or click “Sign out”.
