Guinness World Record for largest parade of camping vehicles (RVs) Line of 868 motorhomes beats previous record of 672 set in Italy in 2003

The tiny town of Barcaldine in western Queensland has officially been awarded the Guinness World Record for their efforts.

In May, 868 motorhomes, caravans, campervans and fifth wheelers created a 9.5-kilometre line outside the town on May 26, 2019.

The previous record of 672 was set by a club in Italy in 2003.

The new Queensland record for 'Largest parade of camping vehicles (RVs)' was officially verified by Guinness this week.

Australian Motorhoming Lions Club president, Len Waddington, said it is a great achievement for the town and those who took part.

"All those that participated now can get a certificate from Guinness," he said.

"It's the achievement and the satisfaction that we got out of it.

"It's a good-memory thing."

Mr Waddington said they are already planning a new record.

"Our next one involves bikes and families," he said.

"I can't announce anything yet, but it's got to be another town with the need and if we can help in any way we will."

Money raised from the record-breaking efforts will go to Angel Flight charity.
