Sirs Manufacturers of Motorhomes,

You are not unaware of that, these last years, motorhome activities made fulgurating great strides. The FICM (International federation of the Clubs of Motorhomes) has, like paramount concern, to work in favour of this mode of leisures and to create the ideal conditions so that each follower can find, everywhere in Europe, decent parking places and favorable reception.

I imagine that you know already the FICM, but if you would like to know a little more, I propose to you to visit the www.ficm-aisbl.eu Website

Unfortunately, it exist still countries, areas and communes which did not seize well the value tourist and economic of motorhome activities, which creates regrettable incomprehension.

We, as an International federation and you, manufacturers, have the same interest so that motorhome activity is accepted everywhere and by all the countries.

For this purpose, I wish to organize a meeting to develop a common strategy of dialogue with the authorities which are, to date, still allergic to motorhome activities. This meeting could, for example, to be held with the Paris airshow, at the beginning of October 2009.

It would be pleasant for me to know your opinion on this important question and wishes to know if you are favorable to such a step.

In waiting of an answer, that I hope for positive, I address to you, Sirs, my best greetings.

                                                                                      Alessandro Ichino
