Propane Filling Locations Map
ianbullock replied to CatchinZs's topic in Route Planning & Road Conditions
I do not know of such an app although if there was one it would definitely be helpful. We generally use either Love's Travel Stops, Flying J Travel Plazas, or KOA campgrounds. We have the apps for these and almost all have propane services to fill your onboard tank or cylinders as needed. -
X-country travel planning
ianbullock replied to schoonmakerjon's question in Destinations/Attractions
I would suggest that you look into loading the KOA app on your phone or obtaining one of their KOA Guides. They have a substantial number of RV parks/campgrounds that are big rig friendly and open all year along I-10, I-20, I-40 and I-70, and I-80. Some even north of I-80. I would also suggest reserving a few days ahead as you determine your route. I know that KOA's are not for everyone and can be a bit more expensive however we've found them to be reliable, conveniently located and often open in the winter when many others are not. -
FYI, there was a survey done earlier this summer which asked about keeping FMCAssist, the magazine, and the rally's. I received a link which I think was sent to all members. This was likely the source of their information.

Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
ianbullock replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
Guess if the dues are going up to $99 October 1st, I better renew now for a few years to save myself a few $$'s! -
Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
ianbullock replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
Check your email. FMCA sent out an email yesterday to all members announcing the name change and the continuation of the FMCAssist program. By the way, they also sent our an email several weeks ago saying that the magazine would only be produced 6 times a year. -
Full Synthetic vs synthetic blend oil. V8 Tiffin Allegro Open Road
ianbullock replied to RudnickRV's topic in Engines
Personally I always go with the manufacturers recommended oil. -
WE use Loves Travel Stops often. Download the Loves Travel app. Get 10 cents off a gallon of gas automatically. No maximum. We also use Pilot Flying J app, although i think its only 5 cents off a gallon
-
I agree with you Paul. On a whole that negativity of the postings focused on FMCA in general are extremely disappointing and I'm sure the reason that many members do not participate. The negative few seem to think that they know and could do better which makes one wonder why they don't go out on their own and start their own RV Association and forum? Just saying,,,,

membership discounts for camping clubs?
ianbullock replied to 1951Gaga's topic in Membership/Benefits
Yes! The following camping members-only discounts are available for members. New FMCA members receive the gift of a one-year participation in the KOA Rewards program. FMCA members receive an exclusive discount on any new Passport America membership. FMCA members receive a 15% discount on any new Harvest Host membership. FMCA members receive a 15% discount on any new Boondockers membership. Enjoy! -
Keep in mind that there are lots of NASCAR tracks that have great infield camping as long as you stay in the higher priced, reserved spot, lots. Pocono and Darlington come to mind.
-
MIS is one of the tracks that I would definitely avoid infield camping at unless it's in the "Family Friendly - enforced quiet time" area. When they say "Party Camping", they are not kidding and it's pretty much an understatement. The parties go on for 3 days, 24 hrs a day, with super loud music, heavy drinking, trash and beer cans everywhere, etc. We were there once, would never go back. There are a few private campgrounds across the road from the track that might be better...

How many of y'all join FMCA just for the magazine?
ianbullock replied to SCADAman29325's topic in General Discussion
Joined primarily for the magazine and travel assist. Now we're excited to try out all the other benefits! -
Winnebago provides weight limits on attached ladders. Also pretty sure they are attached to more than just fibreglass, likely steel brackets. On my Class A the weight limit is 250 lbs. Pretty sure it could handle a 25 lb stepladder.
-
Depends on your RV. Some have weight ratings on the ladder provided by the manufacturer that indicate how much they can handle.
-
Sounds like a power issue. Do you have a battery disconnect switch somewhere? Is it possible that it was inadvertently turned on?

New Class A gas coach refueling worries
ianbullock replied to gthatch's topic in Route Planning & Road Conditions
We travel in our Class A, 39 foot, Winnebago, usually towing our truck. We mainly stick to Flying J, Pilot and Loves travel Stops. Flying J with their dedicated RV islands are by far the easiest to get in and out of. Between our credit card discount, the GoodSam discount at FlyingJ/Pilot, and the Love's monthly promos, we generally save .20 to .25 cents a gallon. We never head into town in search of "cheaper" gas as it can lead to issues which saving a few cents more per gallon is just not worth it to us. -
So you only want to hear from those who agree with you? Then why ask the question in the first place? Maybe it's just me, but I don't get it.

DraftKings at Casino Queens has a RV park that is right across the river from the Arch. I believe it has a Metro Station right in its parking lot where you can catch a train right over to the arch. Check it out at https://draftkingsatcasinoqueen.com/stay/rv-park/

The engine must be running in my MH also when operating the slides. If not the batteries will drain very quickly and the slides will stop working. This was true in the MH I owned previously as well.
-
Sounds like it could be a low 12 voltage issue, not enough power? What condition are your coach batteries in?
-
Over the years I have had all tires balanced. Either spin balanced, which is my preference, or bead balanced if spin balancing was not available. Both have worked fine for me.

if you are worried about your generator's exhaust, get one of these RV Generator Exhaust Extensions. Available on Amazon.
-
Sounds like you may have a dead converter or dead batteries....all systems you mention rely on 12 volts...

You must be fully vaccinated and use the app ArriveCan to provide all needed documentation before arriving at the border. We crossed at I81 from northern New York to Ontario at Lansdown, Ontario. Go to https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada for more info. As far as returning to the U S., I you are an american citizen I believe all you need is a passport.
