Family RV Association (FRVA) has announced that it will partner with Kevin and Patrice McCabe, hosts and producers of the Discovery Channel series rvthereyettv.com, as they chronicle the association's 110th International Convention & RV Expo for a future episode of their popular travel show. Promising pirate-themed activities, the convention has been titled "Return To Perry: Lafitte's Lost Treasure" and will take place March 12-15, 2025, at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter in Perry, Georgia.

The McCabes will interact with attendees and participate in the numerous scheduled activities throughout the event.

"We're so excited to share our passion for RVing with FRVA members and to welcome new RVers to the club," said Patrice McCabe. "Our 'RV There Yet? Discovery Zone' in the Georgia Grown Building will feature seminars, product demos, a theater, and our interactive RV marketplace. We're bringing education, entertainment, and experiences all together in one place!"

The "RV There Yet?" series, now in its fourth season, follows the couple as they take viewers on a road trip to explore America, featuring wild adventures, crazy detours, and campfire fun along the way. "Laffite's Lost Treasure" attendees will have the opportunity to meet the McCabes, share stories, and perhaps appear in a future TV episode.

"We look forward to collaborating with Kevin and Patrice in what promises to be a well-received addition to our Perry convention," said FRVA national president Paul Mitchell. "And the exposure that Family RV Association will receive through the 'RV There Yet?' series will help show why FRVA is the premier RV association."

The partnership comes at an opportune time for Family RV Association as it transitions from Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) to a new, more inclusive name that better reflects the makeup of the organization, which welcomes owners of all types of RVs. Kevin McCabe said he was intrigued by the opportunity to become involved with the identity change. "When we first met with FMCA reps and heard about their plans to rebrand to FRVA, I couldn't help but think, 'This would make an awesome TV episode! We could dive into the history of one of the oldest RV clubs in North America, showcase their success, and explore their exciting future plans.'"

RVers interested in attending FRVA's "Return To Perry: Lafitte's Lost Treasure" convention can find out more information about the event and register by visiting FamilyRVAssociation.com or calling (800) 543-3622.
