I have been an FMCA member for many many year, but just this last year we have been able to attend on of the regional rallies. It was great, and we have scheduled two rallies for 2014. We will be attending Indio and Rocky Mountain. Nice people and lots of activities for all interests. Even if you don't do the group thing, we didn't for years, just having the "goose egg placard" on the MH helped to start conversations with people at campgrounds everywhere we visited. Yes, it is a worthwhile investment. By the way, we also have been Good Sam members for the same many years. The campground discounts and the Emergency Roadside Service are nice, as are the many people we meet along the way.
Happy Trails.
