Grand Design Partners with FMCA, Harvest Hosts and RVillage.

I received an email from Grand Design about their new partnership with FMCA, Harvest Hosts and RVillage.

These are the links in the email....

Beside partnering with FMCA, GD has also linked (or whatever) to Harvest Hosts and RVillage. Here are the links I got in emails....

Harvest Host link

RVillage link

And here is an interesting tid-bit I just saw while perusing those links....

RVillage's Grand Design owners group is the largest single manufacturer group, even surpassing Tiffin which is, according to them, the largest selling Class A RV. The Grand Design group is almost twice as large as even Forest River and Winnebago.

Who knew!? I'm thinking GS's focus on social media has a lot to do with this. On a personal note I also think they put out a pretty good product (at least as far as measure in general RV product quality - if ya know what I mean). I had a Tiffin Class A prior to my current rig, I think their customer service/focus far surpasses any other RV manufacturer (just my opinion), but they are still family owned so maybe that accounts for something.

We got the same email, timely for us because I have been thinking about joining FMCA. Saving $35 makes the decision sway towards joining.

Are any of these really worth it though? Seems like a lot offer discounts that may not work out when the time comes (e.g. need new tires and the brand you get a discount is not in stock). Anecdotally it seems most of the nice parks or campgrounds I've tried to book aren't part of any org.

. Yeah, I got it to. The wife signed up for the RVillage thing but hasn't used it since, I used her login and went out and looked, I didn't like it, but then again I'm not a fan of a lot of social media. Lots of advertisements. That's what I like about this forum, NO Crap to sort through!
I did not like the "Route Me" part of the site either, "The Explore Map does not take into consideration any road or safety conditions for RV travel. Use suggested routes at your own discretion" No Thanks I'll stick with Trip Wizard.

As far as the number of subscribers in the groups, I don't know, maybe less Tiffin or other manufacturer owners didn't sign up? Maybe they are still over on like Facebook?
The wife looks at Face all the time, I hate it.
