BTW, I also vote no on a meet the family page. That one page will require an advertiser. Is Blue Ox going to pay to have somebody discuss how great their Roadmaster is or is Fleetwood going to pay to read how wonderful my Newmar is and .... I joined FMCA for information reasons and remain a member for one reason and one reason only, the medical evacuation benefit. If and when it is no longer available I'll no longer be a member.

Well Ms Kay, seems to me a round table discussion needs to happen there in the puzzle palace and you folks need to come to agreement on your talking points. Do you hear the frustration on the part of we members? It appears to us that you guys come up with what sounds like a good idea, you present it to the executive board and they take the easy way out and say of course it's a good idea. I find it almost comical that you, the communications director, stated "I'm not sure how we could have involved the entire membership in the decision regarding a new name." You're in communications and you don't know how to communicate with the members? If you worked for me, I would terminate you with cause for making that statement. I'm going to ask this question and I respectfully ask for an answer, what percentage of the FMCA salaried personnel own a rv? That will be a vital piece of information to help me understand how it is that FMCA personnel don't understand where we as members are coming from. If the powers to be decide to shut this thread down, I believe that will signify how strongly the FMCA leaders could give a care what we the dues paying members think.

I hope the provided links help resolve your problems.

I know. Maybe he ordered it special with a steering wheel lock. My 16 doesn't have a steering wheel lock. Turn the key off lock the doors and put the key in my pocket. I think he thinks the Mopar wiring kit is going to unlock a steering wheel that isn't lockable. DaimlerChrysler isn't even sure if it will stop the death wobble. I cant help but wonder what he is towing with...

Please please guys. This thread is not about that at all. What do you think of the new name on the magazine and the procedure of selecting the name?

Carl, the American Canoe Association is thinking about allowing Jon boats to join but limited to 7 1/2 hp Evinrude motors.

Reading your post Joe, I drew a blank.🤔

The wiring harness you and all other Cherokee owners are waiting on is to possibly help with the Cherokee death wobble.

The Steering Wheel Does Not Lock.

Hang on, hold it, stop the presses. I thought and guess I thought it because what you wrote is you can't get the steering wheel unlocked and now you're saying it's because of the death wobble the Jeep Cherokees have been having for several years. Google "Jeep Cherokee death wobble" and you can find enough information to keep you busy for a few days.

Ken wants to make sure he got his point across, Carl. As you know Ken, I have several friends with towables but that's not the point any of us are trying to make. It's not that towables are now allowed to join its that some of us didn't/don't like the way the gurus in the Ohio puzzle palace make decisions that affect the FMCA membership. I hope we can now get back on the original topic, the changing of the magazine name.

🤷‍♂️ I'm Still trying to figure how he spent $4000 rigging his Trailhawk for towing. I may to start another business if there is this kind of profit in rigging toads. I've installed base plate, M&G Brakes and lights on three Jeeps and a Malibu and I don't think I spent much more than that on all four combined. On second thought, I didn't spend close to that.

Are you intentionally copying and pasting? By giving the same information over and over expecting different results is not going to resolve your problem.

Here is a place to get some info on the Norcold problems. https://www.zehllaw.com/norcold-rv-fire-attorneys/

I still I don't understand, did you special order this Jeep with a locking steering wheel? Everyplace I look it never says a thing about a locking steering wheel.

Exactly why we moved from Montgomery County to Canyon Lake over a year ago. We laugh when people complain about traffic here, they don't have a clue what real traffic is.

I don't think low amperage would cause anything to flash on and off. If a light is on it would possibly be dim but it would not flash on and off.

I have not written one post regarding the change in direction of FMCA until John opened the can of worms with his statement the "magazine staff made the decision" comment and that caught my attention. Who gives/gave the magazine staff the authority to change anything? I thought, like Richard stated, we were a member run organization. I now wonder how many other decisions the magazine staff will make that will effect the membership.

Yeah but were saving the environment. Sure we are he says sarcastically.

I didn't mean to get the thread going a different direction. Sorry.

According to the Mopar 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk manual that is online, there is no steering wheel lock.🤷‍♂️

Wayne, do you really think those folks sleeping on the ground in Big Bend when it was 38 degrees were having as much fun as I was in my king size bed with the heat pumps purring? Maybe fun is the wrong term. Maybe comfortable vs uncomfortable would be better terminology.

Phil, John has previously stated that's not financially feasible. Just to be clear, I have nothing against allowing any rv'er membership in FMCA, it's how they go about making those kinds of decisions. From my understanding they are still trying to figure out the definition of a rv.

You'll know the first time you use it.....😷 Or🚽 Or 🌹

But the magazine staff thought.....bunk. I'm really curious, is there a person on the magazine staff that owns or has ever been in a motorhome other than to possibly take a picture. John, your response is exactly why so many members are upset - a few on staff thought it would be a good idea. In my opinion, if the "staff" were running Wimbledon they would be playing badminton in court two.
