The Georgia FMCA Convention Is Turning Heads!

Today I visited the Family Motor Coach Association’s 77th international convention in Perry, Georgia and what an intriguing day it was. First up on the menu is a stroll through the shinny new RV’s that seemed to be ubiquitous. Take a look at this Travel Supreme ME. As I pondered this engineering marvel I caught myself thinking WHY? Why would you want to loose this much space when you can tow or trailer a car?
The exhibitors were not ready for the general public, but I was there checking up on their progress, looks like some will be working through the night to be ready for the big day tomorrow.Here FMCA members lined up at the Fleetwood desk to sign up for problems to be fixed on site. There were so many people in this building you could feel the body heat when you walked in!Every form of personal conveyance is used here including scooters, golf carts, trams, bicycles, and you name it. You have to be careful you don’t get run over while taking pictures! The most popular venue today was the seminar on touring Alaska by motor coach. As you can see it was packed, which will give you some idea about how many rigs will be heading that direction next season. Apparently Alaska money has the same exchange rate as the mainland, it’s just that everything costs more (except… perhaps ice).There is an absolute sea of motor coaches camped on the Perry Georgia fairgrounds. I wish I had a helicopter to give you the aerial view. Thousands of coaches and even more camaraderie! There are no other events quite like these FMCA conventions.
