Junction City, OR — Country Coach International (CCI), a recreation club celebrating its 26 anniversary as an Family Motor Coach Association Chapter, not only remains devoted to Country Coach motorcoach owners’ enjoyment of their RV, the Club also has become a vital link between Country Coach brand owners and qualified service and parts providers. In the wake of Country Coach, LLC’s closure earlier this year, the CCI club began compiling a resource list of service and parts providers by state who are familiar with the high-tech motorcoaches CCI Members choose to drive. Members and Non-Members alike, who had grown accustomed to calling the manufacturer’s service department, are now seeking Country Coach specific parts and service referrals at the Club office.

The information as found at www.countrycoachclub.com in Industry Links is sortable by state and includes comments within each listing as to how the business came to be included (i.e., member recommended, CCI Partner offering a club member discount, or formerly on the Country Coach, LLC approved service center listing).

While CCI is pleased to be able to serve as this vital link between its members and qualified CC-specific service and parts providers, its primary mission is to provide social venues, as well as activities and resources (like its dedicated website, members only forum and monthly e-Newsletter, On the Road Again) to its members, which enhance the Country Coach ownership experience. CCI held a rally in Kerrville, TX this past May and its next rally on the Country Coach International Club Rally Schedule is the Combined Country Coach Area Clubs’ Fall Rally to be held in Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC on October 25-29. One hundred fifty CCI member coaches will gather at this CCI-sponsored event. Rally Information and Registration Forms are available at www.countrycoachclub.com. The club launched its website at www.countrycoachclub.com a year ago to offer online information and features specifically geared to benefit Country Coach International club members.

Country Coach International Club is an independent chapter of the Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) and is a non-profit organization functioning as the social club for Country Coach Motorcoach Owners. The Club formed at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California in 1983 and became a chapter of Family Motor Coach Association in November of that same year. Since that time it has grown to be among the larger chapters in the FMCA organization. If you own a Country Coach motorcoach and would like to learn more about this active social club for CC coach owners, you may visit the club online at www.countrycoachclub.com or call the CCI club office located at 404 Ivy Street in Junction City, Oregon at 800-537-0622.[ e-mail ].
