What can you learn at FMCA’s next convention? Plenty, as this RV-related seminar list shows.
July 2019
Information-seekers of all skills and interest levels will find attractive learning opportunities at FMCA’s 100th International Convention & RV Expo, August 14 through 17 in Minot, North Dakota. Whether attendees seek technical assistance, travel guidance, RV lifestyle tips, or information in other areas, this convention schedule — which was current at press time — should prove handy.
Ahead of the “Minot Magic — 100 Times The Fun” convention, RVers may opt to attend driving or backing classes presented by the RV Driving School and FMCA, August 7 through 10. Another option is RV Basics, a 2½-day course presented by leading technical instructors, August 11 through 13. (See pages 64 and 30, respectively, of this issue, for more information; preregistration and additional fees required.)
Updates to the following schedule are posted online at FMCA.com; in the event app; and in the convention program.
