BillAdams Report post Posted August 14, 2016 You have to wonder why an organization trying to attract a younger crowd would use an old Flexible style RV as the logo. Seems contradictory to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted August 14, 2016 It represents who we are. It was, to my knowledge, the bus of choice, for conversion into a traveling home...today, all the coaches are traveling homes, even your 88' Prevost, that was converted, just like the Flexible into a MH ! Even if we could change it...I would vote against it ! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems contradictory to me. It's the FMCA logo "plugged in" or ENERGIZED. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillAdams Report post Posted August 15, 2016 My apologies. I never really saw the FMCA logo that large and it seemed different. Maybe the logo needs to be Energized as well to help attract a younger member. Manholt, my 1988 was never converted from a bus to a motorhome. It was built by Prevost to be a motorhome. Country Coach purchased that empty shell and built out the rest as a motorhome. Prevost makes 3 different chassis. Bus, Entertainer and motorhome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianbullock Report post Posted August 15, 2016 Paint and Sip was a blast! Great turnout! Unfortunately I was the only male in the class! (or maybe fortunately?) I challenge the rest of the male membership to take up the brush next time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted August 16, 2016 Bill. And now Prevost is owned by Volvo. I'm quite sure you knew what I meant, with out getting nit picky. With a F# as low as yours, I'm surprised that you don't know the logo history of FMCA! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaypsmith Report post Posted August 16, 2016 Maybe we could add eyebrows like those ugly things some people are putting over the headlights of their newer VW Beetles. Those things make the VW look younger? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillAdams Report post Posted August 16, 2016 Yep, been around with FMCA since 1994 (or 93) but never put a Goose Egg on my coach or every really paid much attention to it. It used to be that every January you would get an FMCA magazine that was about 1 inch thick with the standard 1/2" thick magazine plus all the current FMCA members information. If you saw someone you could look them up and see if you had anything in common. Now the magazine is a shadow of its former self and the FMCA numbers don't mean a thing.

hermanmullins Report post Posted August 17, 2016 Bill, Like many things today, cost has entered into the picture. Yes I still have the last big copy of the magazine and it was a real help. However now you can look up what ever you would like on the website. As far as the plaque or goose egg, I proudly display mine on both the front and rear of my coach.I also have decals of our number on the truck and golf cart. We were in Miami, Oklahoma just recently and a coach parked near us had a FMCA plaque. I looked up their number and found their name and that they were from St. Louis. I introduced myself to him, called him by name and asked him how the weather was in St. Louis? He smiled and asked how do you know me, have we met before? I have done this many times and it is a nice conversation starter. Display your Plaque or not, it is still nice to have the new Bill back. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted August 17, 2016 I totally agree with that ! Have and still do display my Egg, and proud of it...suspect that is the reason the Good Sam crowd do the same... Kay... I also, have the last Big copy and magazines from 70's and 80's...yes, Bill A. I used to have a F# with 4 numbers! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
