Seen the Price GMC. Not happy with FMCA.

[Bob Dunahugh]

The interior was impressive. Not fond of the exterior treatment. The title=
of the article was correct. Took a piece of junk. Put expensive lipstick o=
n it. I've been working on getting GMC's in different publications. And big=
national car shows. Had some good success. I've contacted FMCA 3 times ove=
r the last 2 years. The last try was in December. Each time it's been. Soun=
ds like a great idea. We'll get back to you. Thanks for the input. Then go=
t ZIP. NOTHING. I've come away with the feeling of being the welcomed relat=
ive that came with a gift. ( In this case my dues.) Then ignored in hopes =
that I'd find the exit door out very soon. They do a great job covering the=
latest high dollar rigs. At least they did the last time that I looked ins=
ide the cover several years. Just before I trashed the copy in the round fi=
le. Their including trailers now has just saved FMCA's ass. So when will F=
MCA put the trailers under the same BIG bus that they used on us? I too am=
NOT happy with them. But they like me when they get my dues. Well. At leas=
t till they open the next envelop with a check. Going out to the shop toda=
y. To remove the FMCA tag off both the GMC's. And the trailer. Bob Dunahug=

I have heard similar comments from others.
FMAC seems one sided to me. But then there are those that claim FMAC offers courtesies to bring you into the fold.

The Price editorial was one sided and a slurr onto the real GMC community. At least it is in my eyes.

For us who have worked hard to make our GMC motorhomes the better coach that it is, the article is sort of a
slap in the face.

As for the GMC coach itself, they show that a vintage coach was so well made that it has endured for 40 years
and it took an owner with bad ideas and a lot of money to mess it up and then go crying to a public magazine
to tear it down.

FMAC is showing it is irresponsible for printing such untrue crying by one owner who appearantly was looking to
get into the lime light for one reason or the other. Why didn't FMAC catch this before they printed it? They
know the coach for what it really is. I don't understand such a horrendous blunder on their part and they certainly
owe us an article about the TRUE GMC MOTORHOME, to offset this bias, as well as an apology to the GMC community.

Do you really think it is worth joining FMAC? I have attempted this a couple times now and there are road blocks
stopping me. I don't get it.

Keep in mind that the FMCA magazine has carried several very flattering articles about GMCs over the years.

At one point GMCs were the largest single mark in FMCA and still remain an important member group for the them. As a matter of interest, as if the last membership statistics I saw there still appear to be more GMC owner members that towable members.

The editors of magazines like this one are always interested in well written articles they think would be of interest to the majority of their members. They likely would not be interested in suggestions for them to write about narrow niche market topics that would only be of interest to a small number of members. So, if you come up with an idea for an article you think would be of broad interest, write it up and submit it for consideration along with several high quality photos. That is what some west coast GMC owners did a while back about GMCs being featured at an auto show and that very positive GMC article was quickly published

I am a President of the GMC Cascaders, and our FMCA dues provides Umbrella
insurance for our Chapter Rallies and Gatherings. If you don't think that
is a significant benefit, you must not reside in any place with lawyers.
Many venues that we use, demand riders of a million dollars or more. Call
your agent, and price it out. You will be convinced of the value.

And as in any organization, get involved. Vote, volunteer, participate. The
squeaky and/or helpful wheel gets the grease. I, too, read the article and
though it wasn't the most positive regarding GMCs, it wasn't the hatchet
job a lot of you are making it out to be.

FMCA provides the liability insurance coverage for the clubs while at rallies. This umbrella protection might be expensive for smaller groups to
purchase on their own. JMTC.
