This stream auto-updates     

  1. Yesterday
  2. I notified the president last week and also called the IT guy.The forum was cleaned up and then got hit again and should be cleaned up. I took over after Herman and kept it clean and when I left, the new guy Steve Focse (sp) apparently hasn't looked at it since he took over
  3. We have been FMCA members for some time now. Due to health reasons we have sold our motor home. My question is, if I continue as a member can I still qualify for auto insurance without having a RV?
  4. Hackers attacked the Newell group, too
  5. i'm just posting this to hopfully bury the spam posts on the forum. No need to respond, inless you want to. these are all the motorhomes i have traveled in over the years.
  6. Last week
  7. They fixed the site NOT Head office must not care
  8. I wonder if the admins can block entire country domains from joining?
  9. I will check back in a few days but I bet it is not fixed The tell will be if and when it is fixed
  10. It is sad this was a good site
  11. They don't seem to look after any more now Herman and Brett are gone
  12. I contacted the headquarters and someone said they are working on it
  13. Any admins that can address the spammer issue?
  14. Looks like this forum has gone to spammers. Guess there are no admins around.
  15. The name I made up includes all! My idea even includes the folks that do not have a wheeled vehicle to camp in. Like on the home page that are exploring RV Recreational Vehicle ownership.
  16. Earlier
  17. Yes, only at high temperatures, but still worth mentioning . Note that absorption fridges shed heat to the environment, and therefore lose efficiency as the ambient temperature increases. But as aztec points out, this only generally begins to be noticeable at temperatures around 100 deg. F.
  18. My Norcold is refridgerator is staying around 39 to 45 degrees and the freezer is around 27 degrees. Same temperatures no matter on LP or electric. No yellow residue on the backside abd the flame is blue. Just replaced the thermister too. Any other ideas?
  19. i have had 3 different class A coaches, all with the propane/12v options, and all performed very well at keeping the food cold. sfroese's comment above, that ambiant temps outside can affect the performance, but only in extreme heat, above 100+ (in my experiance). i like the flexibility to allow the unit to operate under different cooling systems, depending on my needs.
  20. I'm not going to comment on the specific name, but the change was made in order to include owners of travel trailers and fivers. Trailer sales tend to be much higher than motorized sales, and as you have likely observed in your travels, many, if not most, RV families use trailers. The intent was never to alienate motorhome owners, but rather to welcome trailer owners into the fold. Your original suggestion here is good, but consider the excessively high cost of rebranding
  21. I definitely recommend a TPMS system for all tires on the RV and toad (and tow dolly if you use one). Our Tire Minder system has saved me from what likely would have been a tire fire on my dolly. Since I tow my Prius on a dolly with a Diesel pusher, I likely would never have noticed the dolly blowout had not my TPMS immediately alerted me. There are several brands on the market of course, but Minder Research is, in my opinion, the most well known and is of high quality.
  22. Hi, a 12 cubic ft. fridge is the standard 4-door propane models you would see in larger units such as your Class A. In terms of temperature variants, that depends on many factors, not the least of which is the ambient outside temperature. But cooling can also be affected by the cleanliness of the cooling unit fins, flame quality, etc. We have a 2006 Newmar and until my cooling unit leaked and I had to replace it, we had no issues keeping our fridge loaded with food cool and the freezer food frozen. The same can be said for the 12cu. ft. fridges I have had in all my Class A units. As you do your shopping, you may find an RV that does not have a propane fridge, but rather a residential model. This is a personal choice, but I am not a fan of these and have always found the absorption fridges work great if they are properly maintained. As I mentioned though, extremely high ambient temperatures tend to affect cooling, but in this case, additional cooling fans inside and outside the fridge can do wonders.
  23. yeah, i never understood why the name change. is there now a huge rush of new members who did not want to belong to a "Motor Coach" club?
  24. Do most of you use tire pressure systems on your RV and tow vehicles, and if so which on is the best. We have just started to tow an Equinox and we are not sure if we need to buy one.Just looking for some advice from more experienced RV'ers.
