We are a chapter of FRVA (formally know as FMCA), the Family Recreation Vehicle Association, chartered in 2007. We serve Country Coach motorhome owners and other RVers in the Pacific Northwest including the western provinces of Canada and also Alaska. We all belong to FRVA as well. We host chapter rallies from May through October each year at various locations close to our members home base. (see right sidebar for current rally calendar).
Membership in our chapter requires ownership of a Motorhome, travel trailers, 5th wheel and a current membership in FRVA. Owning a Country Coach is not required to maintain membership in the chapter.
Our membership averages about 20 -30 members a year ranging from retired full timers to young working families. We are a very social group and enjoy getting together. We host rallies May through September with occasiaoal rallies other times of the year. We also are active with FRVA as a chapter and volunteer at FRVA Conventions and Regional Rallies.
We publish a monthly Newsletter that is sent to our membership via Email and to an extended group of interested individuals and companies. We also maintain a Service Directory of companies in the Pacific Northwest who are knowledgeable about Country Coaches and other RV's who have been referred by our members. The Service Directory is posted on our web site and is listed in every Newsletter.
Our chapter rally attendance ranges from just a few coaches to as many as thirty averaging about 8 to 12 for each rally. Most of our rallies are very casual and affordable. Individual members host each rally so each rally has its own flare. Meals range from pot luck, to host catered, to professional catering to going out to dinner as a group. We try to hold our rallies in areas that offer a variety on interesting activities in the area and schedule the rally events so that you have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the area.
Our rallies are open to anyone interested in joining us. FRVA membership is not required to come to our rallies. Campers, fifth wheel RVs and travel trailers are always welcome.
"Why join your chapter if I can come to the rallies anyway?" you ask. Non-members pay an additional fee to attend our rallies because our chapter dues help defray the costs of each rally. Your membership in NWCC also includes a monthly newsletter sent to you via Email. Membership in FRVA offers many more valuable benefits. Please visit the FRVA web site for additional information.
