I agree That is why I said they need to change things in the post above. You don't have to be to sharp to see there is nothing going on on the FMCA forums.

It needs to be broadcast where you can recruit new members.

So that isn't working. Why doesn't FMCA have paid sponsors? Why don't they have brand specific topics?
They tried this limiting to just members But now the forums are DEAD. Time for a change maybe back to the way it was, with some improvements. The forum is a good recruiting tool and should be used.
Hear is a suggestion have a place on the forums where you can ask questions directly to the Presidents office and He can answer them. Do they have anyone directly monitoring the internet?
Does FMCA have anyone trying to recruit Youtub influencers to promote FMCA? To join and possibly create chapters of their followers? Has anyone explained the benefits like the FMCA prayed insurance when you have a rally? You do know some of them have more followers that show up at meet ups than FMCA and that is sad.

They will have full benefits as a a family member, FMCAssist included. They will pay the same dues as everyone else. This is supposed to generate a bunch of $$ which is desperately needed.

Ideas welcome.
Well I just looked at the form online to join FMCA and it does not reflect any "Pathfinder" category. So how may have joined?
This is what the application says.
RV Information
What type of RV do you own? Motorhome Towable
Please note - you must select one option to acknowledge you own an RV to be eligible for membership.Bill

If you are taking a check from FMCA you need to be 100% FMCA 24/7 If you are "not be much help" you need to be replaced.

Now that Labor Day is behind us. I have a question and maybe a challenge. How do we grow participation in FMCA and in the Forum’s? What are your ideas?
Has anyone heard from the new President Gary Milner?

I think the ignition switches are pretty generic. I would do like Dons said, take it out and take it with you. Let us know what you find out.

https://nrvta.com/Just because someone is listed with either of those organizations, doesn't mean you shouldn't ask questions about gualifications, length of time in the trade, are they familiar with how to resolve your issues, etc.
It's your property and your money at stake.
Yes, I thought that would be obvious. Good catch Ray.

I would make shure they were NRVTA certified inspectors. You can go to their website to find inspectors in your area.

Bid an auction yesterday, but it went high with unknowns about the coach. It was spectacular, though!
Just so you know the OP hasn't been back since May.

That sounds expensive even if they did all the toppers not just for one.

That is the worst hydraulic cylinder I have seen.
I wonder how bad the jack cylinders look?

Where was this and what driving school?
Like Ray said, You need to be made whole on this. If they give you any BS I would have your Lawyer send them a nice letter.

From the FMCA web site.
Go to https://business.michelinman.com/dealer-locator and enter your zip code in the dealer locator, choose COMMERCIAL TRANSPORTATION. The dealers will be listed in the order closest to your location. Select the dealer that best suits your tire needs.

Ray, great minds. Yes from the description I think he popped the CB on the inverter of the one for the circuits served by the inverter.

Yes like five said they need lots of love and lube.

The first thing I would do is look up on Shock warehouse the part numbers for your chassis. I like the Koni. Position: Front, Part: 8805 100, Position: Rear, Part: 8805 1003. Current price is $211.95 each. I would double check because I don't know the year. (that is why it is nice to have that info in your signature) I would also check prices near where you live. I would think nearly any big parts store could get them.
Keep us updated.

Yes Ray that was in response to what Ross said "He who lives full time on FMCA funds probably will not be much help." I think that is one of the big problems. We have to many who want the statis of the position but don't seam to want to do anything. So I am sorry if you can't see the difference.
