That time of year to renew membership into FMCA.
I am having a hard time deciding if it is worth it. In the past year we have done 2 things involving FMCA. One was to attend our first ever rally, in Pecatonica IL. We came away from there wondering why we would ever drive 1500 miles again to come to another rally.
Other than meeting some very nice people, it was a bust, very hot and very boring. I guess our expectations were too high, that there might have been a few more than 15 or so venders and some MH displays that could hardly wait to get out of there. The other thing we tried to do with FMCA is the Michelin tire program. After contacting a dealer here, he had to get in touch with the area rep, who said he could do something for us and took 2 months to get back to the dealer, just to tell him there was nothing he could do. I think it is very similar to other programs offered by FMCA in that they are not available to Canadians. So being from Canada, I don't see any value in being a member. Any discounts we get are also available with GS and AAA.
