I live about 5 miles from FMCA headquarters and drive by it regularly since its on the way to my favorite golf course. They have hookups for members in their parking lot. I've never seen anything parked there except large Class As and 5ers. I joined for a year when I first bought my 'C' in my mid 50s, and received their magazine. All their articles, chapters and ads were for big rigs being driven by geezers. An occasional grandchild would sneak into a picture and a few of the recipes required teeth.
But you have to admire their choice of target audience. They're after people that are no longer working and have the bucks to use their rigs more than 2 weeks for vacation. I'm at least pre-geezer and an early retiree, but I don't yet require soft food or a rousing game of full contact croquet. But I do enjoy an afternoon nap. Matter of fact, its a little after 1PM....
