We encompass areas from Red Bluff, CA to the Oregon border, and from the Pacific Ocean east to the Nevada line.

Our Chapter was organized on April 21, 1997 to provide a framework for members of the Escapees RV Club and to make new friends through organized rallies and other announced social activities. We have friendly members that are waiting for you to come to our functions to give you SKP Hugs!

We hold our meetings/luncheons on the first Tuesday of every month from March to December at the Country Waffle in Redding, CA at 11:30am. We have had the last two years informal/social luncheons in January and February, at the same place/same time, on the first Tuesday, for the members that could not go to Quartzsite, AZ. You are welcome to attend these as well.

Our rallies are from April to October. Everyone is welcome at these gatherings even if you aren't a member of Chapter #47.

From the Chapter President:
Welcome to Chapter #47 Norcal Gypsies website. Our objective is to enjoy RVing to its fullest with other RV enthusiasts. The Chapter is eleven years old and still retains several charter members. The members range from full timers (that visit us when they are in the area) to us part-timers. Our vehicles range from small camper units, trailers, 5th wheels and Class A & C motor homes. Our activities are monthly luncheons and rallies. We are a very pet friendly group.

Each year we have joint rallies with Chapter #37. You can see pictures and information regarding our Chapter and Chapter #37 on www.RVecafe.com. During this year, 2010, we have enjoyed teaming up with Chapter #37 and have one last joint rally scheduled. We enjoyed the company of Chapter #24 when we joined their rally in Susanville in August. We plan on attending more Chapters' Rallies in the future. We have found that we're not the only Chapter in the Escapee organization that has the nicest and coolest members!

So, if you�re looking for a Chapter to join or an Escapee traveling through our area stop by and visit us.

LUNCHEONS:

In Redding:
1st Tuesday of the month. Held at the COUNTRY WAFFLE Restaurant in Redding @ 11:30am. Directions: From I-5 head west on Cypress Ave, over the Sacramento River Bridge, the first street after the bridge is Athens Street. Make a right on Athens Street the restaurant will be on the left side of street about 1/4 of a mile. No luncheons/meetings during January or February. However, while most of our chapter members are gone to Quartzsite, AZ those left behind have decided that (for the last two years) to meet on the first Tuesday just to visit with no meeting involved. We enjoy each other's company so much not getting together for two months seems like an eternity!
