The Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) is making some big changes, and Chris Smith is helping us navigate them. You may remember Chris from other episodes, as he is the CEO of the FMCA and a good friend of the show. Chris will let us know how these changes will affect current and upcoming members of the FMCA.

FMCA Tech Connect

One of the changes involves their Tech Connect program. The FMCA is happy to announce that T-Mobile is back as one of the service providers for hotspots, as well as an unlimited voice plan.
With the return of T-Mobile, members will now have multiple choices between Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. It will now be easier to stay connected while on the road. In this episode, we will learn what it takes for the FMCA to be able to offer these unlimited plans to their members.

FMCA Memberships

The FMCA is also making it easier for members to join by offering a monthly payment plan for membership. Chris hopes that offering memberships in this manner will help people join the club sooner since they will not need to drop a full year’s membership fee upfront. Take a listen to the show to hear how this style of membership differs from the annual commitment.

There is also a new type of membership coming to the FMCA. This new Pathfinder membership will be geared toward folks interested in buying an RV but haven’t done it yet. Hear all about how this membership will help guide new RV buyers into making their first RV purchase. This plan excites us because it could be a one-stop shop for RV newbies, and they can learn all there is to know about RVing.

Chris had this to say about why now is a great time to launch the Pathfinder membership,

“About double the size of people intend to own an RV compared to who currently own an RV now, that really stuck out to me as a large number, that means there are about twenty-one to twenty-two million people interested in becoming RVers.” – Chris Smith, CEO of FMCA.

Other Benefits

The FMCA is the largest nonprofit RV club in the world and is a great way to save money while traveling in your RV. They also offer many protection plans as well like roadside assistance and insurance. FMCAssist is an emergency medical evacuation and repatriation coverage available to members worldwide as long as you are 75 miles from home.
