It appears the card is not good in Pilot/Flying J. We stayed in a CG next to a Pilot last week, so I walked over and asked if my card was acceptable....and explained how it worked with Loves. The manager did not know, but called her off sight manager....that manager said our card is good for ''points'' only....no big cash discount.

Don't know about commissaries, but I was in the Fort Campbell, KY, PX today and asked about Exchange access for honorably discharged veterans. At the present time, they can shop on line only....they do not have authority to shop in the stores.

The test strips I have indicate the levels of PPM Nitrate, Freeze Point and pH. The card that comes with them indicates what color equals the level of the three items being tested. So you dip the strip, of three separate pads, in the coolant and match the color on each of the three pads to the corresponding pad's color on the card. From the information provided on the card you can tell if any of the three items are too low or too high. What they do not tell you is how much SCA should be added, if needed, to remedy the the low level as indicated by the test strip. All I've been able to find is that a pint of SCA equals five "units," and one chart on Acustrip's web site, but it did not say what substance they were testing...no help. Is there a chart or some guidance as to the amount of SCA added based on the test? Thanks for the help.

See similar thread with the same subject.

I have three Garmins (one is for RVs), easy to use, lots of options and free life time updates.

Okay, thanks guys, I'm convinced. Maybe they need to make the verbiage a bit easier to understand. Saying they are going to give me "a $200 advance" doesn't compute. However I think I can live with their limit of 950 gallons of diesel per day.😝

Same here. Also, I would ask specifically if the ISX would be covered due to it's reputation for high dollar failures.

I just received my EFS card in the mail. In the second paragraph of the PIN instructions it says, "Your first time logging in you will notice a $200 advance. Please note that this is not your daily limit for fuel. This is a cash advance that comes on all our cards in case you need extra cash on you." That makes no sense...they like to say it is a cash "advance" but it is sounds like it is actually a $200 debit of my account. If so, when do we get it back and what if we decide not to use their card, what happens to the $200 they have? I put a call into the company but have not as yet heard back.

Wayne....what's it supposed to do for the driver? I had a RF blow out with our previous coach, an AC Allegiance, no control problems at all.

Agree. It's like the old undercoat scam...which some dealers still run. Most of that dealer add on equipment is not needed, and is way over priced.

You mean we are supposed to read all the previous posts??😏

Here's a link that is very useful for comparing sizes: https://tiresize.com/comparison/

I've noticed several posters mention Loves, what about Flying J and Pilot?

Look at it this way, we are paying $50 for membership and $25 for FMCAssist, and hope we don't need the latter.

Get a long piece of some type of stiff but thin material (the small diameter tubing used for drawing trans fluid out would be perfect), and push it all the way in, as far as it will go......pull it out and see what's on the end of the tubing.

I weighed my coach last week and came up with some interesting numbers. The axle GAWRs are, front to rear, 17k, 20k, and 12k. I last weighed the coach four years ago. This years numbers compared to the last numbers are as follows, front to rear, F down 1,260#, dually/tag combined up 2,160#, total weight up 900#. The Cat scale said they could not split out the dually and the tag weights. Each time the coach was equipped the same....full fuel, no water, no waste, no clothes/shoes, no food, empty refrig. I can understand the extra weight since the first time I weighed it was soon after purchase and it had some of our "stuff" but not all of it. I do not understand the weight shift and the amounts of the shift...down in the front and up in the back. 900# sounds right with the things we've added, the locations of the decrease and increase do not make sense. I'd like to get a six point weight. Here's what they look like in chart format: 2015 2019 Diff 15/19 GAWR Difference between 2019 weight and GAWR Front 13,340 12,080 -1,260 17,000 -4,920 Rear 30,220 32,380 +2,160 20k + 12k +380 Total 43,560 44,460 +900 49,000 -4,540 All comments appreciated

Moth balls work....don't forget to remove all food out of the RV except canned goods.

As long as your "real" domicile is SD, you're in good shape....wish I was in a lower taxed state. However, if SD is not your true domicile you're taking a big chance.

I just got new tires at STM also. Continentals on the front and Toyos on the rear. Excellent pricing....FMCA rate on the front and 21% off the rear. Due to a mix up on the rear tires, the wrong size were installed....partly my fault and partly STM's fault....they gave me a full refund on the incorrect tires, put the Toyos on with the discount and reduced all the mounting fees by 50%.

Your first course of action is to tap vigorously on the gauge itself....sometimes that works in an airplane.

If the manual says you can do it, you're okay. We have friends with a similar vehicle and tow it four down.

Two comments....first, I considered using the engine for airing up the tires...way too much trouble. I bought a Porter-Cable AC powered pump at Lowes for $100 that does the job with no hassle and no need to fire up the coach. As for charging batteries. Here's how mine work....shore sower charges house batteries until charge rate reaches 13.3, then the Charger Relay opens and allows the charge to go through to the chassis batteries. When driving....the opposite occurs, the engine charges the chassis batteries until they reach 13.3, the relay opens and the charge goes through to the coach batteries. The bottom line is to call Integra and ask how your batteries are being charged.

Yes, this is supposed to be on of the benefits of being an FMCA member.

I find it hard to believe there are 3,000 people answering the telephones for Emer Services....all at the same time. Also, I've been told that many of the ES providers work for, and will go and do what they are asked by any ES service. So, regardless of your ES is, you are liable to get the same provider.

If it's not one thing....it's another. This past week end I was doing some work on the coach and noticed the 12v air pump coming on every 30 to 45 minutes, and running for a minute or two. When I left, I pulled the circuit breaker for the pump. Today, I went back to check on it and the coach was three inches lower on the curb side than the street side. It's plugged in, jacks up, slides in and I did not ''air level'....just backed in and shut it down. I know the air lines run down the curb side and are red (front/secondary) and green (rear/primary), and that a spray bottle with soapy water is a good way to detect a leak. I'm looking for trouble shooting suggestions as to where to start and what is most likely leaking....a fitting, hose, pump, etc. Thanks for any suggestions.
