The biggest and most tightly knit group is the Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA), which boasts 31,000 dues-paying members ($25 per annum per family) in 130 chapters across the nation. To qualify for membership, a motor-home owner must have a vehicle that is at least 18 ft. long, is "self-contained...
