Family Motor Coach Association Convention

press release: Members of Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA), an international organization for people who own motorhomes, will flock to Wisconsin’s state capital in late July and temporarily form their own capital — one centered on RVing.

The Cincinnati-based group will host its 92nd Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison July 29 through August 1, 2015. A key element of these gatherings is an unparalleled motorhome showcase. Top motorhome manufacturers and dealers will display their latest models. With the variety of sizes and floor plans, attendees should be able to find a motorhome to suit their needs. When it comes to outfitting the motorhome for travel, attendees will be able to head to the indoor exhibition halls, which will house more than 300 booths packed with a variety of RV-related products and services.

FMCA events also offer motorhome owners, as well as those exploring the idea of ownership, opportunities for enhancing their knowledge via seminars conducted by RV experts. More than 100 different topics will be addressed during the event in Madison.

In addition, motorhome owners will be treated to several nights of first-rate entertainment and a variety of special activities. Among them will be group tours of local sites and attractions. Although 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. For those who want to view only the motorhome exhibition, admission costs $7 per day; children 12 and under are admitted free with an accompanying adult, as are those with an active military ID. Those who would prefer to take in the exhibits and also attend seminars and entertainment may purchase a Daily Passport, which is available for $75 per person ($65 for FMCA members). RV owners are invited to take part in all of the activities and also to bring their RV and stay with the rest of the group at Alliant Energy Center. The price for non-FMCA members is $265; this non-member fee automatically grants a one-year FMCA membership to the motorhome owner or a one-year Family Motor Coaching subscription to owners of other types of RVs. The FMCA member price is $215. (An additional fee is charged for electric.)

Public parking will be available at the John Nolen Gate, located off John Nolen Drive.
