  • World Food Championships

    When we were invited to be judges at the World Food Championships, held at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama, we loaded the RV and headed south. Who wouldn’t want to be part of the ultimate food sport in the world’s largest kitchen arena under a big tent in the Alabama sunshine? We didn’t have to wait long to cross paths with some of the competitors. En route, in an RV park in Kentucky, we met Team Roberstons Braai-B-Que from South Africa. They introduced us to their mascot, a little brown piglet named Barbie.

    More than 37,000 people lost their lives in motor vehicle accidents on U.S. roadways in 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Not surprisingly, each year, speeding and impaired driving account for many vehicle accidents. One additional cause is aggressive driving.

  • President’s Message: April Fools’ Day? No . . . True Story

    Have you ever been driving along in your motorhome and crossing over a railroad track, only to find that the back wheels suddenly are off the ground, and you are stuck on the tracks? April Fool’s Day joke? No, this is a true story.

  • FMCA Update: Change

    April is a month of renewal and change. Here in the Midwest, spring bursts forth, and we — and the landscape around us — shake off the winter doldrums. April is one of the months of the year that holds special meaning for me. My first child, Lyla, was born in April five years ago. When I started working at FMCA, she was only 4 months old. One of my favorite pictures of her is the one we took of her sitting in my office chair shortly after I was hired. Another is of the two of us braving the snow, the photo I’ve shared in this column. She sure was tiny. The adage “Time flies when you are having fun” has never rung more true.

  • Chapter Spotlight: KY Horse Shu Kru

    Members of the Kentucky Horse Shu Kru laugh often. And that’s one serious reason why the group has lasted almost 40 years. These RVers have an appealing attitude.
