We were members of FMCA for years. We still have the numbers on the Barth. The problem with Barthmobile becoming a FMCA chapter is that all members have to belong to FMCA. I would not like to see that happen.

Gary, non members can still see information on FMCA without being a member. Thanks for your input. I am by no means trying to compromise our Barth community. Just hoping to broaden our horizons.

The last communication I had with Hank (then president of Barth Rangers) was in 2011 when he sent me an application and news letter. HERE Is a post with Hanks info: I may be wrong, But I don't think the Rangers still exist in the FMCA.

Thanks Craig, I knew that I read the post before. Yes the Barth Rangers was dissolved shortly after I purchased my Barth. The previous owner of my Barth, Bud Wiley told me he received a refund when the Rangers were dissolved.

Check the poll results here. So far it looks like we are in favor of Family Motor Coach Association FMCA recognition. With a FMCA recognition, would the value of our Antique Campers and Motor Homes increase? Remember we do not want everyone to know the value of Barth, or we won't have enough Barthmobiles for our members to have one, two, or three Barth rigs.
Something to consider?
