RV owner group set to gather in Indianapolis

The Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA), an international organization for families who own and enjoy the recreational use of motorhomes, is finalizing plans for its August 27-30 rally at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Indiana. Approximately 2,500 motorhomes and 8,000 RVers are expected for the event dubbed “Formula For Fun.”

Convention activities will include a motorhome exhibition by motorhome manufacturers and dealers from throughout the United States and Canada, as well as displays and commercial booths by manufacturers and suppliers of RV accessories and components.

Other activities include seminars on a variety of topics related to motorhomes and RV travel, local tours, evening entertainment and many social gatherings. While the convention is organized for Family Motor Coach Association members, the organization also invites members of the public to attend and provides various admission options.

Admission to the motorhome exhibition only is $7 per day; children 12 and under are admitted free with an accompanying adult. Those with an active military ID are admitted free also. A daily passport for all exhibits, seminars and entertainment is available for $65 per person ($55 for FMCA members).


RV OWNERS ARE INVITED TO HOLE UP at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The price for non-FMCA members is $240 per RV (with two people). The non-member fee automatically grants a one-year FMCA membership or Family Motor Coaching magazine subscription to the RV owner. The FMCA member price is $190.

The Family Motor Coach Association was founded in 1963 by a contingent of "house car" owners who decided to term their then-unusual vehicles "motor coaches." Today the association has nearly 90,000 member families. One of the primary benefits of FMCA membership is a subscription to the monthly Family Motor Coaching magazine. Other benefits include trip routing; mail forwarding; a fuel discount program; full access to FMCA.com; a tire purchasing program; and group rates on an emergency roadside assistance plan and member-only RV tours and caravans.
