    I really would like to hear from someone who has experience with the service. Just because its $69 doesn't mean much if the service equates to the cost.

    Ian hinted he is a user but has not mentioned if he has had experience using it and apparently nobody on this forum has any experience with this program.

    Over the years I have used both GS and FMCA with varying levels of success. Can't say that I noticed a significant difference between the two. 

    I am now back with FMCA and at the new annual price of $69, will likely stay. Apparently you can lock in for up to 3 years to avoid any potential future price increases. 

    Of note: in the new Dec 2017 edition of Family Motor Coaching, starting page 10, there is an overview and "Roadside Assistance Comparison" that completely details the benefits of FMCA, GS, AAA, and AARP.  Worth a read...


  2. Chindog,

    The plan is not limited to 256 gb. It is an unlimited plan. 

    See info from FMCA announcement.

    "Get a mobile hotspot for only $.01 with a 2-year agreement when you sign up for the $49.99/month Mobile Broadband Plan (plus taxes & fees), plus get unlimited data.*"

    As per the details, if you go over 256 gb in any one month, the speed may be reduced. 

    Would likely only be an issue if you were constantly streamjng video.  


  3. Like myself, I am sure that many members prefer reading the actual magazine than reading a digital copy on a PC.  I dislike eBooks and such.  I consider the actual magazine one of the most important benefits of FMCA.

    I suppose to save $$, FMCA could ask each member at sign up or renewal to select which format they wanted?  If many members chose digital only, the savings could be big.


  4. This annoyance  is more common than you may think and in most cases is not an indication of an issue in your plumbing system, just a leaky shower head switch. 

    What is likely happening is that the switch on your shower head, when in the shut off position, is turning off the hot water flow entirely but not the cold. Thus the trickle of cold water. 

    As the cold water continues to run it cools off the water in the line from the taps to your shower head.  Once you flip the switch back to on, the cold water in the line flows through, eventually allowing the hot to make its way back. It does seem to take a long time. 

    We have had this issue with many shower heads....still have it in our current MH. 


  5. According to my owners manual for my 2009 Workhorse W series chassis, the correct differential rear axle fluid is Chevron Delo Gear ESI SAE 80W-90 gear oil.

    I believe the filler plug is easily removed with a wrench, no heating applied.  I usually have this done when the MH is in for service.  Very inexpensive.
