he world we live in is full of troubles, but those troubles seem distant when we’re out with our RVs. Sure we discuss what’s
arsenal for when you’re planning your trip and to find things to do when you get there.
For the 2017 show season, we’re excited to be hosting a new show at a new location in addition to our regular lineup: the MARVAC Port Huron Camper & RV Show. Come join us March 23-26, 2017, at the Blue Water Convention Center in Port Huron, in Michigan’s “Thumb.” You are welcome to join us at any show this season. Please see page 48 for a full list of our RV and Camper Shows, or visit us online anytime at www. MichiganRVandCampgrounds.org.

Message from the President
Dear Fellow RVer
happening around us – though our forum is around a campfire and sitting under the stars. We stay a little closer to nature and its beauty, connecting to what’s really important in life. We remain explorers, struck by wanderlust. Our RVs can get us anywhere and provide a safe haven wherever we end up. Maybe if everyone could have this peace of mind, the world itself would be at peace.
You can find ideas of what to do and where to visit at www.MichiganRVandCampgrounds. org. The calendar showcases a list of fun festivals and events around the state that take place throughout the year. In the News section, you’ll find articles that appeal both to the RV owner – maintenance, packing tips, purchasing considerations, etc. – and the traveler – road tours, Michigan destinations, beaches,
recipes, and more. But most of all, visit our interactive Map that features the five primary regions of our state. You can see our member campgrounds, RV dealers, and RV suppliers within each of those regions, as well as be able to search for activities that most interest you in a particular region. It’s just another tool in your
does n
ot warrant that the data herein is complete or accurate.
