I recently found an old photo that brought back warm memories of life on the road. Even though I just celebrated my 10th anniversary behind the wheel of my Winnebago View motorhome, my fascination with traveling the byways of America goes back many years.
I Am FMCA
I had lived 30-some years in the Pacific Northwest, and had become used to being saturated to the bone. One winter day, an opportunity arose to do a work assignment in San Diego, California. With thoughts of losing my webbed feet, I packed up the motorhome and headed south, not knowing what I was getting into.
This Canadian couple celebrated the motorhome lifestyle in grand style with their first full-length road trip.
As relative newcomers to the RV world and lifestyle, my husband and I still occasionally look at the motorhome in our backyard and say to each other, “I can’t believe that’s ours!”
Frank recalls his lifelong love of camping and RVing.
As a child, I camped with my folks during our annual two-week summer vacation. We used a six-man, World War II surplus tent. I later did a lot of camping on the way to my Eagle Scout badge. I even used World War II pup tents when I was in the Army in the 1950s…
My husband, Gary, and I both started camping when we were young. I remember waking up on a deflated air mattress with water around me. My mother, sisters, and I gathered our soggy belongings and scrambled into our uncle’s house for the night. I grew a dislike for tenting after this. Gary spent time tent camping with his father during hunting season.
Bob, a second-generation member, considers the association part of his family heritage.
As RVers who have owned both motorhomes and towables, this FMCA couple shares their thoughts on the proposal to extend membership to owners of all types of RVs.
Despite an interruption in their travels, this couple never lost their enthusiasm for RVing or the special camaraderie they enjoyed with other motorhomers.
