In mid-March, attendees at FMCA’s convention in Perry, Georgia, will be able to harvest a bounty of RV knowledge to enhance their traveling lifestyle.

What do you need to know about operating and maintaining your RV? Its components? How about travel itineraries, helpful technology, or hobbies and crafts to enjoy on the road?
Receive expert instruction on these topics and others during FMCA’s 99th International Convention and RV Expo, March 13 through 16, 2019, at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter. More than 100 seminars will be presented throughout the event.
And before the convention even begins, three additional courses, not on the list below, may be to your liking. RV Basics, a 2½-day classroom course, March 10 through 12, will cover key RV preparation, operation, and maintenance topics. The two-day RV Driving Class and the one-day RV Backing Class, presented by the RV Driving School, with sessions between March 6 and 12, will each involve classroom learning as well as practice behind the wheel. See pages 104 and 59, respectively, of this issue, for more details about these three sessions. (Additional fees and registration are required.)
But back to the convention! The following seminars were scheduled at press time. Refer to the event program and the event app for additional information.
