FMCA is now Family RV Association —
same great RV community, bold new direction! |
|
| As we roll toward February 14, love is in the air. And for many RVers, the affection extends to their homes on wheels. You might be snuggled in a snowbird site, attending an FRVA rally, or planning future road trips. Ain’t RV life grand?
The following items are intended to inform you, inspire you, and hopefully entertain you. If you need further motivation, consider this thought from author Susan Sontag: “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.”
Enjoy. Happy Valentine’s Day!

If you’re looking to safeguard your RV beyond what typical auto insurance provides, consider two programs offered by our partners.
FRVA RV Insurance. Family RV Association has teamed up with a coalition of insurance specialists with decades of RV industry experience and knowledge. This program lets members select from a range of top RV underwriters; FRVA discounts are provided whenever applicable. Choose from multiple RV and auto package options, plus RV specialty coverages such as total loss replacement, purchase price guarantee, full-timers liability, tow dolly/tow bar coverage, and more.
Powered by SafeRide RV Motor Club, FRVA Roadside Rescue® is offered to current Family RV Association members in the U.S. and Canada at a special group rate. The plan provides towing service for a motorhome or towable RV to the nearest qualified repair center, as well as fuel delivery, lockout service, tire change, battery boost, tech assistance, and more. An online checklist compares FRVA Roadside Rescue with other providers’ plans. A companion plan, FRVAuto Advantage, will cover the car of your choice.

If you’ve thought of attending Family RV Association’s upcoming Changes In Latitudes — RV Beach Party convention, we agree it’s an excellent idea. The fun officially runs from March 18-21 at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter in Perry, Georgia. Exhibits, seminars, live entertainment, and special events will fill the days and evenings. We’ll help you catch some tropical vibes, including a performance by A1A — the Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show, among other great acts. All RVers are welcome, including non-FRVA members, so ask your friends, family, and neighbors to join you. Bonus: Register by March 8 and receive a free FRVA T-shirt. After March 8, you can register on-site upon your arrival. For more info, visit the First Timers page and read this convention preview from Family RVing magazine.

If you’re drawn to the water, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recreation areas offer boundless options. COE facilities are typically found along lakes, rivers, and beaches — perfect for those who enjoy waterskiing, fishing, swimming, and boating. On solid ground, visitors take in hiking, biking, bird-watching, and camping. COE facilities are situated near 420 lakes in 43 states; they encompass 56,000 miles of shoreline and 4,300 recreation areas that cover 12 million acres!

Reserve a Corps of Engineers campsite through Recreation.gov. Sites with electric, water, and full hookups are available. To receive a discount at COE facilities, purchase an America the Beautiful pass. This interagency pass is available in various configurations and can also be used at facilities operated by the National Park Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Bureau of Reclamation.

Surprise your RV companion with these sweet treats for Valentine’s Day. Or bake a few batches for your next chapter gathering. In addition to the delicious red velvet taste, a heart-shaped candy placed in the center of each cookie makes them extra festive. Each batch makes only six cookies, so you might want to double or triple the ingredients!
Find a printable recipe from the FRVA Adventure blog here.
