Cincinnati,
OH – May 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Members
of Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA),
an international association for RV owners, have a fun surprise waiting
for them in their mailboxes and inboxes this month. The association’s monthly
publication, which first rolled off the presses in 1964 — shortly after
the RV owners group was founded — has a new title and a fresh new look.
Family Motor Coaching is now Family
RVing.

“The
new title chosen for the magazine, Family RVing, embraces the fact
that FMCA represents a close-knit community of RVers, tied together by
a love of traveling and exploring, discovering new places, and meeting
new people,” said Jon Walker, FMCA national president. “‘Family,’ and ‘RVing’
are part of our heritage, our present, and our future,” he added.
FMCA
turned to Bates Creative Group, an award-winning agency based in Silver
Spring, Maryland, to lead the first refresh of the magazine in a decade.
Their designers worked with the FMCA staff to create a publication that
would appeal not only to the group’s current membership but also to the
new members the club plans to welcome to the fold.
“RVing
is all about having fun, and we want the magazine to reflect that,” said
FMCA executive director Chris Smith. “I believe we’ve accomplished that
with this rejuvenation and rebranding of our monthly publication. We’ve
also unveiled a new website dedicated to the magazine, and we invite RVers
to check it out. FamilyRVingmag.com
is a great resource for members and prospective members alike.”
FMCA
is a member-owned, not-for-profit organization. Last fall the members voted
to branch out and welcome owners of all types of self-contained recreation
vehicles. Prior to that, association membership had focused on owners of
motorized RVs — motorhomes.
“The
focus has always been on the RV community – the members of the association
– and meeting their needs,” said Mr. Walker. “And the members have affirmed
that by voting to welcome like-minded RV owners whose vehicles don’t happen
to have their own motive force. We all share a passion for traveling the
continent by RV and enjoying all the lifestyle has to offer.”
