Hi GMC2000 (how about a name so we know you at rallies and such?)
FMCA is an organization of some nearly 80,000 motorhomes and now towables as well. It formed as a result of a few bus nuts getting together after WWII. As FMCA grew, clubs formed by owners of different motorhomes petitioned FMCA to become part of that organization. The most saught after member benefit is that FMCA provides umbrella liability coverage for club events. In the 70s GMC ownership grew and specialized GMC clubs formed under the FMCA umbrella. At one time (I think it is still true) GMC was the largest single mark in FMCA. There are larger FMCA club collections today, but they are formed around things like a common chassis (ie: Freightliner) or a holding company name like Monaco (now deceased) rather than a single motorhome model. All clubs that want the FMCA liability coverage and the other member benefits now offered by FMCA, must be clubs where all the club members are also members of FMCA - about $50 per year. Individual clubs could seek their own event liability coverage and not be part of FMCA, but so far most of the GMC clubs have opted to remain affiliated with FMCA.
There is no hierarchy of GMC clubs. All of them are independently formed and managed. Many of us are members of several GMC clubs as well as FMCA and perhaps other RV related organizations. The GMC Forum is independent of any of the GMC clubs and independent of FMCA. Just a bunch of GMC enthusiasts who voluntarily offer our time, support money and knowledge to keep these wonderful old mothorhomes on the road following a successful generational change in ownership.

I did not, this is the first time Ive read any mention of the FMCA, thanks. sort of explains why they (GMCs) dont have an official forum. I see FMCA
does have a forum but nothing specific to GMC or other makes.
interesting part of the GMC history.. wonder how all that developed into what it is today?
