FMCA’s Roadtrek International chapter joined the festivities for the manufacturer’s milestone event.

Last summer, RVers who own Roadtrek Class B motorhomes, including those who belong to FMCA’s Roadtrek International chapter, were on hand for a special rally to recognize the brand’s 50th anniversary.
The celebration took place August 13 through 15, 2024, at beautiful Guelph Lake in Ontario, Canada, with approximately 200 Roadtrek owners attending.
On the first night, the Roadtrek International chapter sponsored a pizza social, where we handed out brochures and provided a short presentation to inform attendees about FMCA and our chapter. With such a group of Roadtrek owners, we hope to increase membership in the association as well as in our chapter.
The second day included touring the Roadtrek factory, listening to seminars related to our Roadtrek motorhomes, playing lawn games, and checking out the latest Roadtrek models. A contest for best Roadtrek and best modifications also took place. That night at the Grand Celebration, guest speaker Jeff Hanemaayer — son of Roadtrek founder Jac Hanemaayer — shared some history about the birth of the company. We also enjoyed a delicious anniversary dinner, a prize giveaway, and live entertainment. A special surprise for our chapter was when the band performed our Roadtrek International song, “Three Little Windows.”
