Introduction
	The Register was started around June 2000 by a man called Bob Deane. Bob bought a Trafic based campervan but then found that there seemed to be a dearth of technical information about the Trafic available to the general public. Bob’s idea was to form a group of Trafic Campervan/Motorhome owners in order to pool technical knowledge, so he asked around the internet and Camping/Caravan clubs to find any like minded people. The first newsletter, informing "would be members" that the Register was actually in existence and a going concern, was published in October 2000. At our first AGM in April 2002, the Members that were present made it clear that they wanted not only a technical side but also a social side to the register with rallies etc. We plan to hold at least 4 weekend rallies a year, in various locations throughout the UK based on Members’ suggestions. There is however no pressure on anyone to take part in any rallies or other activities if they do not wish to do so. The RTMR is an active but informal group, there is no regimentation and very few "rules". At the time of writing there are over 200 Members and the register is run by a committee of annually elected paid up Members – by the people for the people. We offer outstanding value for money. We are a non profit making organisation and a year’s membership costs less than two gallons of petrol. The Members discount on a Peter Russek workshop manual is in itself worth almost the cost of a year’s subscription. Our quarterly newsletter the "Trafic Report" is open for any Member to air their views, submit tips, modifications, articles or place "for sale" or "want" ads. We have many knowledgeable Members who are only too happy to share their wisdom. Of course, it must be realised that the register, it’s officials or Members cannot be held responsible if incorrect information is given or passed on. It is up to the individual to verify that the information given is correct. Members ‘vans range from home converted panel vans to custom built "A" Class and from NEW to early ‘80s. There is no snobbery, a Member with a ‘84 home conversion stands equally with one who owns a brand new coachbuilt. The friendliness and camaraderie amongst Members needs to be experienced to be believed. Who can join? Anyone who owns a Renault Trafic based Camper / Motorhome no matter who the converter was. Past and prospective owners are also welcome. How to join?
