Herman, interesting you mention the seminars. In just 8 short weeks the convention will be upon us and I for one would love to be able to look over the seminar schedule in the coming weeks to make plans for those that are important as well as those that just plain sound interesting. The last 3 conventions we attended we only received the seminar list in the goodie bag on arrival which severly limited the decision time. Maybe the home office could include same on the Perry convention info area.

thanks everyone, this is what we have these forums for, to help each other have a good day.

which blue beacon did you use? we will be going down for perry and seems like we always get caught in slop that time of year.

The comments about how the ballot is to be submitted are concerning. I went to the pages in the October magazine looking for reference to the procedure described and found nothing so indicated. While this may be in the current constitution most members are unaware and if this is required it should be somewhere in the article. while this may be an unintended error it could throw the ballot process into question no matter which way the results go.

Brett, in response to your suggestion, the fact that so many have expressed an opinion is of itself telling of the importance of the subject. If we close this thread we may loose the history of the discussion. Future comments may look to be out of context. Also as long as this continues there will be no appearance of interference in the conversation as there was earlier this year. I know that e all want the process to be open, or in current PC transparent. Please do not suggest anything that would open the door to the type of comments that suggest interference The best interest of the membership is served by all urging that everyone vote their belief and that we all remind our fellow members of that need.

At this point in time the important thing is to vote, and urge all members to do the same. Not all may agree but all can agree that not voting is letting someone else make the choice for you.

the part you zip on reaches the ground if straight down, when sloped away from coach can still come close. when rolling up only need to make sure it is centered on awning roll. If wind is blowing sometimes it will try to fold over while you are rolling in but easily dealt with

We picked-up a shade pro a couple of years back with a 4 ft drop that stays on the awning with the rest being zipped on when needed, Lots of times the drop is enough to make the patio area comfortable. We also have a vacationer[2011]

Just did a quick search on e-z pass and found that at least in the northeast it is universal in 1 states. Wickapedia has a list. Maybe you can check WA website and get a feel for where their pass is accepted.

In what world does the main office live? In todays world a soft rollout as they tried is just not going to happen, the leakage is a result of modern communications not some sinister plot. We as members see this as an opportunity to grow our ranks and sharing the information is a natural result " good news travels" and any way we can save money is looked to as good news.

On FMCA home site and not finding any reference to this benefit. It would seem that a member benefit as welcome as this should be listed. So maybe some of the earlier posts asking about the secret password were not so far off. We need to treat our current members at least as well as potential new members . I have a Verizon 4G jet pack and would welcome unlimited data for these prices. Do not need another device?

Ross, while your post indicates your personal feelings on this issue, the true question for a national director is what your chapter has indicated as their wish as to how you should vote.

Carl,
today most seek that type of info on electronic sources and prefer that over phone calls. also the general membership probably does not know that you could call the main office for that. if we are honest many do their info seeking at what would not be considered normal business hours. anything the association can do to make access easier will aid our growth.

Look for a heavy duty truck parts supplier. NAPA does have some airbags available, in the east Fleetpride is a large source. Possible google hd truck parts in your area for others.

I have had both Good Sam and Coach Net. Used GS twice, once with less than stellar success and once with what could be called very good response. When I considered to use CN found that they would only tow to nearest facility capable not to preferred. sometimes you know that a provider is better able to do work in a timely manner something a dispatcher could have no knowledge of. Just went back to GS as coach net was way to expensive and at least at this point GS was way less than FMCA. Available services are comparable and your chances of using for tire service is the greatest area of need. With reasonable preventive maintenance on road breakdown is not near as big a factor. Many concerns center around tires and a good idea may be to carry at least a bare tire when doing long distance or extended travels. This will lessen the supply problems many encounter. We all need to remember the laws of supply and demand, you need a tire and supply is limited price is probably higher than what you would pay if time was on your side..

Word of caution. 12 volt charging systems need to see battery storage for output control. Lacking a battery the system may go to max output and that can cause charging system failure. Lacking a better resource contact a reliable vender and get the opinion in writing to give yourself a margin of confidence. If the vender is willing to put it in writing then the are real sure of their answer.

Got to agree with video on this. Had left front let go and applied power, control, then gradual slowdown as taught 40 years ago for tractor trailer, it works and will wife was near cealing did not feel any panic as the coach acted as expected.

Can not say why DEMCO is not mentioned as much but can say that their customer service is good. Have towed with DEMCO for 10 years and have had no problems. Like RVi brake as Ialso tow 2 different cars and only wanted to buy 1 brake system.

There are many good campgrounds in the area. A good place to look is the campground owners of New York [cony] site, there is a section for the 1000 island / St Lawrence area. The state parks are OK but many sites are small for the length.
Make your reservations as early as you can as the area is busy for the summer season and sites book fast.
How often and how far do you take out your Class B ? OR, because it's smaller and portable you take it everywhere?
in Type B Motorhomes

Herman, there are showers at Perry. We used them at '16 rally found them to be well cared for and not very busy at all. Not hard to access.
