After leaning to and fro, we finally decided that IMSooter hit the nail on the head, and we also will vote no. We belong to Escapees and Good Sam, and I don't need another look alike. Thanks, Jim/Judy Fagan F279425

I was just rambling, because with the rally in Perry, GA next spring. A lot of rv owners will be heading north to their summer locations. If we could round up, and hold a bunch of those folks with towables maybe we could enhance the numbers. I guess why I am talking, is we joined in 2000 with our first motorhome and we enjoy and have learned a lot with the magazine and talking to other members.We MUST keep this organization going. If we loose it we will never get it back. We plan on attending the Monaco Intl. and the FMCA rallies in GA next spring. Jim Fagan F279425

This is from a family that has owned them all, towable, 5th, and motorhome. We joined FMCA because it was a motorhome orginazation, but reality is, there are fewer and fewer of us. We summer work in a campground in College Park, MD so we see fewer motorhomes than in the past. Nothing I will be saying is to do away with the motorhome aspect of FMCA, but we need to increase our membership. What if we allowed towables at chapter and all other rallies. To attend they would have to pay addational fees, to be determined. My thinking is that we would be exposing these folks to a motorhome environment, and plant the seed of a motorhome. We have traveled with people that have towables and when we stop to go someplace and dont have hookups they moved all their pets over to our motorhome, because we had a gen and could turn on the air. After a year or so of this, last spring when we met up, they had a motorhome and were towing their tow rig they used for their 5th. Reason being, we saw how easy it was to travel and such. The vendors would have a better exposed and after market vendors would also recieve a benefit. By attending the FMCA rally, they would be immeresed in the motorhome culture and see lots of styles and types of motorhomes. They might not jump to a motorhome at that poing but we sure would plant the seed for the future. If the addational registration fee also included the magazine they would have a year of motorhome knowledge on their plate.. My thoughts on the fee including the membership it would be with a different type number. Instead of a F279425, like mine, it would be something like AX279425 and not include voting rights. Also, if somebody with a motorhome moved to a towable they would be moved for a F membership to an AX membership, but still be able to attend rallies and get the magazine. However, we dont give up on the motorhome rv, and remain true to the FMCA we all know. Jim Fagan, F279425. 2002 Windsor

I was down at a dealer Monday, 4/28, checking on tires. He said they have absolutely no idea when the 295's will be available. He has been trying for a month or more to find me Michelins and with 20 retail outlets he works for, they are just not available. He said Michelin will not even give their stores an approx. date. He then tried Bridgestone with the 250 series, and they aren't available. Looks like G670. Jim F F279425 02 Windsor
