I can't see where the benefits to the younger members will come from since they likely already have "actual" benefits from the Good Sam group and their excellent camping discounts and Camping World savings along with a magazine that runs the gamut of the RVing lifestyle.
I never claimed that FMCA was rife with elitism as an organization or knocking it. I was responding to Mr Marks post of" I don't get it, the FMCA is allowing towables to join and that's a problem?"
That being said, FMCA has some amount of elitists as any organization does.
