I have found there are place with cheaper diesel but you can't get in and out. Yes I can remember pumping diesel in Cal a few years ago when it was over $5.25 a gal and that was the CHEAP stuff. I am happy to have an option. Bill

8.0HDKAK no load 0.13, Half load 0.49, Full load 1.02 Gal per hour. Your results may vary. Bill

I believe through the TCS app. I have the app on my phone and just looked at it. Apparently I never set it up. The background shows flags/pins depicting fuel pumps on a map. I think the savings have dropped some as the price of diesel has gone down which is to be expected. Right now Love's, 200 Garden Acres Dr & IH-35W is $2.14 on the pump. (Gas Buddy) It is showing $1.989 on the EFS app. Back in 03/12 the price was $1.823. I don't remember what the pump price was. Still much better than the Good Sams discount. When you get your TCS app set up let us know what you find. Bill

From what I see the discounts are pretty close to the same between the cards. They do vary with time and location. The discounts are not fixed. It is the method of payment that bothers me. Bill

I set mine up about the same time and have never "funded" it because I wasn't traveling right then and didn't want money tied up. Yes the TSD card works great. I would hope FMCA migrates to a TSD type of card. Bill

BobCarolRV76, Welcome to the forum. I would agree with Herman. The Jeep Wrangler 4 wheel drive would be my choice. Yes would you add your RV and info to your signature, it makes it easier for you to get good answers and saves time. I am still mad at Honda for changing the CR-V. Bill

What exactly are you doing for the campground owners? What incentives have you offered them? Have you offered them a $10.00 bonus for signing up new FMCA members? What about something for the employees? What about a contest between campgrounds in a area or state? Exactly why you need to recruit younger people with a younger audience. No I don't think they are that far apart. You are trying to get Views that lead to donations (dues) from people joining FMCA. You want "Followers" so you can charge more for advertising. They want donations on patreon. I am pretty shure if you grew the FMCA chanel you could get revenue from it to. Bill

Like jleamont, we use the park cable or over the air tv. I like to watch the local weather especially during bad weather. Bill

Yes Carl, I was just pointing out that was the only trip I had been on, So far. The mountains of North Dallas. Bill

I was simply pointing out that it was still cheaper to join FMCA with the benefit package than it was Good Sams with the same level of protection. By the way what are you doing to increase the number of discounts at different campgrounds? I see very little FMCA presence at places I have stayed. I think this is an area that could be improved. I never see any posters,or any on site advertising for FMCA. What about developing some "Point of sale" type promotional material/displays. I hope you arn't trying to impress us with those numbers considering your last video got 86 views since June 29, 2020. Yet little home done channels like All about RVs got 46,657 views since Jun 27, 2020 and has 113K subscribers. https://www.youtube.com/c/AllAboutRVs/videos You might add them to your list of “influencers” you are talking to. Bill

You might call ahead and see about places to stay but with the reduction in travel I will bet there are places available. I bet you don't have any problems with your coach. I hope everything goes well for you and your wife. Have a safe trip. Bill

I am looking forward to trying the engine break on this coach. I didn't turn it on this last trip to OK. I realey didn't need it in the mountains of north Texas. Bill

Yes maybe we arn't doing a good enough job of explaining that yes you can join GS for 29.00 but you have to buy the travel assist for an extra 69.00 or a total of 98.00. or get both for 85.00 from FMCA. The number of people who remember the old price will be gone soon. Bill

Who or which channels are you talking to on Youtube? What kind of deal are you talking about? (you can PM me if you don't want to make it public.) I don't see very much FMCA content on Youtube and this seames a prime landing spot for full timers and newbies. Bill

Welcome to the forum. We have used CoPilot GPS. I still have the older version. They have a "newer" RV specific version out now. The great thing about this app is you can download the maps when you have Wifi so you don't have to rely on having a connection. Bill

George, Welcome to the forum. I will second manholt's recommendation. National Indoor RV Centers, 4640 Nexus Way, North Las Vegas, NV, 89115 Phone: 702-766-7770 Bill

You can talk to whoever you want. I suggested Safelite because my insurance agent recommended them to fix a couple of chips on my last RV. He said all the insurance companies recognise them. I pretty much think you will need someone to do the work who has the equipment. Let us know how it goes. Bill

What does the owner's manual say? Have you looked under the coach? I would look at the Tiffin web site or call the hotline. What advantage do you see being in a small coach in a small campground? I have been in every state in the lower 48 and 4 Canadian provinces. Never had a problem with a 38 ft coach. Now I have one that is 7' longer and I still don't have any problem. Shorter in height might have been good sometimes but I don't see any advantage to a coach 3' 4"shorter. The ones I looked at had much smaller storage less counter and smaller bathrooms/showers. I have Comfort steer and I like it. The V ride is a Freightliner deal and I have a Spartan Chassis. You should go drive one and see for yourself. Where are you looking? When you drive the New Air I would drive something like a Mountain Aire for comparison. Try a King Aire. Bill

Just a thought. I would call someone like Safelight and get a quote on replacing the gasket. https://www.safelite.com/ps-brand?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Dallas/Ft Worth:Brand&utm_term=safelite&cl_aid=safelite&cl_vend=google&cl_ch=sem&cl_camp=794299332&cl_adg=46909228288&cl_crtv=427804444933&cl_kw=safelite&cl_pub=google.com&cl_place=&cl_dvt=c&cl_pos=&cl_mt=e&cl_gtid=kwd-257252597&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9IX4BRCcARIsAOD2OB2zVo1R81iYzKNd8qaT7sqTEGw6SSs4x-bbjefTtkLL-7OCI4hauUEaAhuHEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Bill

I would like to know what FMCA is doing to recruit some of the thousands of new people entering the RV lifestyle. This has been a period of unbelievable growth, with more people than ever before buying RVs of all kinds. Bill

Yes, and hence my question on what type surge guard he was using. I have seen low voltage cause more problems than over voltage. I would like to put a data tracker on that circuit to see the power swings. I am not going to say "Carl said it first" Bill

Tim like Carl said If the fuse keeps blowing, I would step up a notch. I might try to find a 7.5 amp before going to a 10 amp but yes. Tim, what kind of Surge guard are you using? Carl this my 2ed residential. I changed out the one in the last coach myself. I don't see me ever going back to an absorption unit. Bill

That does sound like lots of work. Bill

Tim, glad to help. Bill
