FMCA - FAMILY MOTOR COACH ASSOCIATION

The Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) is an international organization for families who own and enjoy the recreational use of motorhomes. With more than 98,000 active member families, FMCA is the world’s largest motorhome owners group.

Since 1963 FMCA has issued more than 400,000 memberships to families who look to the association as their source of information about all facets of motorhome ownership and travel.

Membership categories

Full/Family (F) membership is open to any person or family owning at least one-third interest in a qualifying motorhome.
Family Associate (A) membership is open to Full/Family (F) members who no longer own a qualifying motorhome.
Commercial (C) membership is for dealers, suppliers, manufacturers, campgrounds, service facilities and other firms servicing the motorhome owner or the motorhome industry.

FMCA's purpose

The purpose of FMCA is to organize social activities, exchange motorhome information, and supply benefits made possible, in part, by collective purchasing.

The interest of the Association also extends into the area of political and legislative action. FMCA supports recreation programs and the legal rights of RV owners.

Greatest benefit

FMCA takes pride in the merit of its many membership benefits, which include trip routing, mail forwarding service, an emergency medical evacuation program, and group rates on an emergency roadside assistance plan.

One of the greatest benefits of FMCA membership is the opportunity it provides for enjoying the fellowship of friends from all over the country who share a common interest, motorhoming. The Association is rich in the tradition of FMCA members extending hands of genuine friendship to one another.

FMCA members can be identified by the FMCA “goose egg," or membership emblem, displayed on their motorhome. This oval plate, embossed with the family's membership number, opens the door for many friendly encounters while traveling.

Staff

FMCA is owned by its membership, governed by elected officers and has a national office that conducts its business affairs. The staff establishes a liaison with the motorhome industry, helps members to organize geographic and special interest chapters, publishes a monthly magazine, and coordinates FMCA motorhome conventions and annual membership meetings.
