The Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) will host its 101st International Convention and RV Expo at the Pima County Fairgrounds in Tucson March 26-29. The event has been dubbed “Sunsets + Saguaros” based on the desert locale.
“We’re excited to be heading to Tucson for our March celebration of all things RVing,” FMCA national president Jon Walker said. “I can’t think of a better place to be as spring begins and RVers head into the busy travel season. I’m looking forward to taking in some local sights while enjoying all that an FMCA international convention has to offer.”
FMCA invites all RV owners to join the festivities that will take place in late March. Those who are considering the RV lifestyle are welcome also.
During an FMCA convention, RV owners stay in their coaches at the host facility.
The RV Expo will feature RV manufacturers and dealers with the latest models open for tour. Hundreds of RVs will be open for inspection during show hours. RV-related accessories, components, services and products will also be on display.
RV Expo hours will be Thursday, March 26 from 1-5 p.m. and Friday through Sunday, March 27-29 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Attendees can take part more than 100 seminars on topics ranging from driving/towing and RV maintenance to microwave-convection cooking and technology for travelers.
Daytime and evening entertainment is offered including a morning coffee hour and afternoon happy hours in the RV parking areas.
RV owners may bring their vehicle and stay on-site. Those who don’t yet own an RV can purchase a passport to take part in all activities without RV parking.
