FMCA

This has come up before, maybe not recently.

From what I read on the FMCA forum, it is up for proposal, but most likely will not pass.

This would be good because...?

The FMCA membership will probably sack the president - and even if they didn't, you and your "towable" will be considered "Trailer Trash"!..:S

It is what it is!..:W

Don't see it happening. I think most of its members are 55 and older, i`m guessing the average age in the mid 60`s . the average RV trailer owner is in their 30`s and 40`s. 2 completely different groups.

The reason is because FMCA membership numbers are dropping like a rock. If they don't bring in towables they are likely to end up shutting down in the not too far distant future.

I joined for the benefits, most join for the Michelin tire discount. It use to be a status symbol to have a low number. Most of the numbers I've seen are 6 digit.

Maybe they could research the low number plates and reclaim the ones that are no longer in use and offer a premium "low number" membership.

Numbers are not dropping like a rock. Actually there is an increase in membership.

To the poster saying we should sack the president, well that happens in July.

To those members that do not want towables, watch for a ballot in your Sept, Oct, and Nov magazine. If the governing board accepts the changes to the articles of incorporation, yo will see a ballot. You have to vote to be counted! The ballot has to be sent to the correct address to be counted.

As written right now, FMCA could accept a boat, a motorcycle, seado for membership. The wording is "recreation vehicle" which applies to just about anything.

VOTE!

Per their own stats, 10 years ago it was 65, today the average age is 71.

Increasing age is not a good demographic.
