5 Best Benefits of an FMCA Membership for RVers

Table of Contents

There are quite a few RV discount clubs and memberships out there, so it can be difficult to know which ones are the best. One offers not only discount savings but also roadside assistance, emergency assistance, and access to professionals dedicated to helping RVers travel comfortably and safely. Let’s look at the benefits of an FMCA membership, including a special FMCA batteries discount from Battle Born. It’s well worth the yearly fee to reap the savings and have the protection FMCA provides its members.

What Is FMCA? 

The Family Motor Coach Association, otherwise known as FMCA, exists to partner with travelers for the best experiences possible. According to the FMCA website, “At FMCA, we educate, equip, and empower RV owners in their journey to creating, experiencing, and benefiting from the outdoor lifestyle they dream of and deserve. FMCA is your ally to the outdoor lifestyle you love and enjoy.” It’s the largest association in the RV industry that’s dedicated exclusively to RV ownership.

FMCA has been in business since 1963 and has issued more than 500,000 memberships. Throughout the year, FMCA sponsors events for its members to enjoy social activities as well as exchange information.

There are also numerous benefits, from a mail forwarding service to roadside assistance to discounts that come with an FMCA membership. An additional purpose of FMCA is to protect RVers and help owners understand their legal rights. FMCA works for political and legislative action on behalf of its members.

What Makes FMCA Different From Other RV Clubs?

The advocacy part of an FMCA membership is one of the biggest differences from other RV clubs. Many memberships give RVers discounts and access to savings. Some provide mail forwarding services and roadside assistance as well.

But FMCA’s Governmental and Legislative Affairs Committee assists members with residential parking and overnight parking regulations, length and width limits, license requirements, and any other issue or law affecting the use of an RV. FMCA also writes letters to Congress and works for changes in regulations to benefit RVers. 

5 Best Benefits of an FMCA Membership for RVers

This list is not exhaustive, but it includes the five best benefits of an FMCA membership for RVers. Let’s take a look at a few of the ways this membership could benefit you.

1. FMCAssist

Members don’t have to do anything to enroll in FMCAssist. Members are automatically qualified. FMCAssist is emergency medical evacuation and repatriation coverage. This coverage extends to RVers who are more than 75 miles from home.

Full-time travelers are always considered 75 miles from home. A few of the services covered with FMCAssist include emergency cash and emergency room cash benefits, prescription medication and glasses replacement, help with family travel expenses, and return home services.

2. Roadside Assistance

You never want to be stranded when traveling across the country. The FMCA Roadside Assistance Program includes towing to the nearest qualified repair center, fuel delivery, lockout service, tire changes, battery boosts, and more. FMCAssist comes free with a membership, but to enroll in FMCA’s Roadside Rescue, members pay $129 per year for towable RVs and $159 per year for motorized RVs.

3. Insurance Savings

FMCA offers several different insurance savings programs that include health insurance, pet insurance, RV insurance, and travel insurance. Being able to find all of these insurance companies in one place under the FMCA umbrella is hugely convenient for RVers.

The membership savings just adds to the overall benefit. Whether traveling full-time or just for vacation, the organization connects members to the industry’s top RV underwriters to get the best rates. Members also have access to programs for affordable healthcare coverage from major carriers.

4. Camping Fee Discounts 

There are so many discounts offered to members, but one of the biggest savings is on camping fees. FMCA’s partnership with KOA gives members a 10% discount on overnight stays at their locations. FMCA Connections is a search tool that helps RVers find campgrounds and repair shops ready to give discounts to members. In addition, members receive discounts on other memberships like Passport America, Harvest Hosts, and Boondockers Welcome.

5. Other Discount Programs

Other discount programs include Custom Glass Solutions windshield replacement, a TCS fuel discount card, special pricing on RV Whisper monitoring systems for pet safety, and discounts on SoftStartRV units to reduce RV startup power. One popular discount program is the FMCA RV Tire Savings Program, which saves members hundreds of dollars on Michelin or Continental tires. Recently, Battle Born joined the discount program as the exclusive lithium-ion battery provider for the group.
