Congratulations on your new motor home. Please tell us what model it is so we can provide more specific advice for your future questions. You might also want to check out the FMCA web site, they are for motorhomes only so you have a good base to ask motorhome specific questions. Ed.
Hi All.
Ed, that is not exactely a true statement about FMCA, for "Motorhomes Only".
Before we bought our Motorhome, we had FMAC for our PSD Truck and 5er with FMAC for quite a few years. At some time, in the past they may have been for "Motorhomes Only" but no so any longer, and haven't been for many years now. We are still with FMCA with our Motorhome now also.
FMAC is open to all RV's. I can't give you a date when they started this, but as I said, we had FMAC with our PSD Truck & 5er for quite a few years.
As with a lot of companies, they had to make some adjustments and changes to stay in business also. ERS is ERS, still money in FMCA pockets.
Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill
What? The "Family Motor Coach Association" is open to all RVers? My documentation says Motorhomes only and you must be able to walk from the steering wheel to the back of the RV. Tell me more. Can you post a link to the new rules?

From the FMCA website:
"The Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) is an international organization for families who own and enjoy the recreational use of motorhomes. With approximately 85,000 active member families, FMCA is the world’s largest motorhome owners group."
and
"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."
and
"Since 1963 FMCA has issued more than 425,000 memberships to families who look to the association as their source of information about all facets of motorhome ownership and travel."
and
"FMCA members can be identified by the FMCA “goose egg," or membership emblem, that many members display on their motorhome. This oval plate, embossed with the family's membership number, opens the door for many friendly encounters while traveling."
Seems to me all they talk about is "motorhomes".

Read the qualifications and conditions on the FMCA application form..
If you bought a older used RV, be aware than a smoke alarm is only good for 7 years or so. After that, the sensor fails and the alarm will start sounding for no aparent reason. Then it's time to replace it!
Thanks all some very good advice!! Looking forward to all the new info I can get from here!!!
Thanks again!
