I have an opening on January 15, 2035 at 9:15 AM. Do you want that? Herman

Bobbie and I didn't get into RVing until 2000. We bought a Ferin Ultrastar 28' class A. The only camping I had ever done was as a Boy Scout on Week end, Summer Camps and as a BSA Counselor. Bobbie had never done any camping. One day when I was at a shop picking the coach, I picked up a magazine and thought this is a nice magazine pulled out the card, filed it out thinking I was subscribing to the magazine. Low and behold I had joined this thing called FMCA. A few days later we were having dinner with some friend and mentioned it to him. He Jump in and said I needed to join a Chapter and had an application on an email almost before we got home. Ben told me that we had to go to a FMCA National Rally. He said there would be anywhere from 6 to 7,000 coaches there, where I replied, "Ben why would I want to go somewhere there would be 12,000 people I don't know". Look at me now! After the Ferin we traded for a 32' Monaco Windser and then up to our current 40' Monaco Dynasty. We now go to every National Rally we can and always Volunteer, I have been President of the Lone Star Chapter and have just been elected to 1st VP of Lone Star. Have been Parking Lt., Parking Captain, Southern Region VP and now am Senior VP for the Six-State Rally Association. Bobbie and I have grown to love going to visit Family, making trips just for the heck of it and best of all, we have made some friends allover the country. We have grown to love each and everyone of them. Can't wait to see what is over the next hill or around the next bend in the road. Herman & Bobbie

Mine are 28" blades. Secured with a small 7 mm bolt that also holds the washer head. Jim sorry but I do as much of the repairs on the MH as I can. It has saved me a bundle over the years. However I do know when to leave it to the professionals. Besides I don't charge myself $140/Hr. I do a lot of repairs for folks and have never charged one red cent. I just enjoy helping others. Herman

There must be operator error. I have had the MiFi since last May. Never ever had an issue with the device and I am as dumb as dirt when it comes to Electronics. Sorry. Have you visited a Verizon Store and asked for help? It's free. Herman

We keep an old white sock with sulfur powder in is with a knot tied at the top. Makes a perfect duster for when you are going out into un-mowed grass and weeds. A good thing to keep in the coach is a Gallon of Spectraside (spelling?) Bug Stop. when you know there are ant around spray it around the tires, mud flats, and all hoses. It will kill any insect that crosses it. Herman

One of the big problem is the Alarm sound the same for Low Coolant, Low Oil, Low air Pressure and even the Jacks. If idiot light don't come on some times hard to know one from the other. Herman

David, Is your coach a Gas or Diesel pusher. If it is a pusher have you tried barking up your drive? Be careful doing this may cause the front to drag then. Also if it is a pusher do you have air bags. If so you can raise the coach with the bags a give you more clearance. Just some thought. Herman

I have found a good source for lots of RV items. Walmart Online. They have good prices and you can pick most items up at the store with no freight and they will have in a couple of days. Just thought some may like to know. Herman

Ed & Joan, Welcome to FMCA and the Forum. There will someone that can tell you of good parks near DW. We haven't been there since 1984 when the cost of the 3 day tickets for our family of 5 was an unheard of $185.00 total. The time are a changin. Again welcome to FMCA, you now have a Family of 75,000+ and they all expect a Christmas card. Herman

David You can get a roller that mounts on you receiver hitch, Not sure if it would carry the weight of you MH. My brother-in-law had a similar issue at his home and found that when he went in at slight angle he would not drag. Herman

You did a pretty good job for not knowing how to post a picture. If I remember, you put a bit of pressure on the blade by pushing it backwards. That should release the button that is holding the blade to the arm. However if you have a new blade there should be some instructions on the back of the package showing the correct method to remove and replace the blade. Herman

If the Wiper is like I remember, you pull the arm out and then fold the blade back over the arm to you. It should slide out. But sorry I can't be sure without seeing the arm and blade. Herman

Brett, Are your bags out in the passageway yet (aka hall)? Or is that this night? Hope your Dad had a wonderful time, it was nice of you to do it for him. Herman

Tom, It has been many year since I was there. Does Gibson Guitars still have the location where you can watch every step in the making of a Banjo? I like you and Louise, love to see and watch anything mechanical. Herman

Tow, I wonder if the issue you mention had anything to do with the latest information about Apple and their batteries. We have use our cell phones as a Hot Spot for some time with nary a problem.When home I tether to the computer and it keeps the phone charged like Ross said. Hope to see you in Perry. Herman

Thank you JK. It helps you when the first thing you are always asked, "did you check the fuse?", there it is. I am sure , as Winnebago and you felt it was due to the cold. When it is that cold lots of things shrink and get very stiff. I think you are correct when you said you will, when it's warmer, give it some slack. And to, Welcome to the Forum. Herman

As Archie and Edith would say "Ah those were the days". Great Picture, with lots of memories. No cell phones or laptops and the kids counted spotted horses or VWs and kept asking "Are we there yet?" Herman

Roland, Go south as fast and safely as possible till you hit I-20 then turn West to I-10 and keep on going West. Going North from Michigan to get to Arizona in January is, pardon me but, insane. Freezing temperatures, no RV parks open in the winter time and maybe no snow but what about Black Ice. Head South to go West young man. Herman

Lots of items in the coach think it is funny and giggle going down the highways and they sometime jiggle loose to. I had a loose ground in my Inverter and it was so bad that I took it out and had it bench tested and it was fine. I thought my ground felt a bit loose when i took it out. Made sure all was very tight when I reinstalled it no problems since. Herman

10-4, I am assuming Marvin Smith will be handling to Carts and radios for the Parking crews in Perry. Have a good winter in AZ. See you in Gillette. Herman

Jim, with that much oil it would not need an oil pump. everything would be floating in oil. Herman

Bill, If I have a issue on my Satellite may I PM you? You have answered a number of issues in the past. Thanks for the help. Herman

Ross, long time no hear from you. Hope you had a good Christmas. Look forward to seeing you in Perry. Herman

Sorry, I miss read the Post. The OP didn't say which system they had. Herman

Joe, I suspect we are hearing more Sea Stories aka one uppens. "If you think that was bad, let me tell you what happened to me.........................." "Or I can top that." Let me quote Dragnet, "Just the facts mam". Herman
