Why is the NAME Changing? Why not call it: Family Members Camping Association This would be inclusive it you only have a tent and not any vehicle to camp with.

I get 5G most of the time on my iPhone 15 with http://visible.com Visible as my carrier. I occasionally get 5G UW (ultra wide) Visible is cheaper than Tech Connect at $45 if you sign up now for high-speed data. You can also get a $25 plan unlimited talk text and standard unlimited data. I have had both. The high-speed data plan is faster if you are watching videos. My phone can be a hot spot for the laptop or the iPad. It also includes my iWatch for no additional charge. The watch will work even if you forgot your phone somewhere. You can try the service for $5 while you keep your own line and have two lines in your phone. You will be able to see which carrier has a better signal for your area. I dumped AT&T after 20 years. Use this code [3RVFQM7] to get $20 off your first month and pay only $5. If it does not work remove your credit card and it will shut off. If Visible works better you can port your number and SAVE.

Thanks elkhartjim for the reply. I ask this because it was an article in the Family RV magazine. If I recall the article talked about supplements helping with dues to organizations that promote active life style. palibs, A little over a month has passed, have you any update?

Still no one coming forward with their supplement insurance. Hope to hear some othe members with "Supplemet for Medicare" has been reimburesd sometime soon.

I sent an email to fmca@hellogrouper.com at the end of January. Does anyone know if this mailbox still has personnel to reply to my question? The mail did not come back as undelivered.

I do NOT have an on-line health care supplement account. I have no clue what grouper is. I thought grouper was a bottom feeder fish. I am lucky to find my way around here, navigating this website. Thanks for trying to help. My agent has never heard of reimbursements on supplement plans.

From how I see it that is how Advantage plans work by giving you some advantages. Advantages like: over the counter medications, band-aids, etc. I do not want to get off to another subject here. I want to know if any member here has a Medicare SUPPLEMENT that and has paid a portion or all of the membership dues here at Family Motor Coach Association or Family Recreational Vehicle Association?

On page 12 of the January/February issue is an article stating "ITS FREE" Does anyone know if The Anthem Medicare Supplement will cover or even partially cover FMCA dues? My insurance agent has no idea of these reimbursements. It may be covered on an Advantage plan, but never heard of this on a supplement. Maybe the article should be directed ONLY to "advantage" plans. I believe the article misstated the supplemental plans were covering dues. I hope someone can dig up some information on Anthem paying for my dues!

Today in the mail was my membership renual notice. It is now doubled in price. So I started to do some digging. Found this and I am here wondering what is going on. There is conversation on rvforums.com also.

The above seal set is a list for AP2381 only with the oil fill plug on the bottom of the foot pad. I am gathering the seal set information for the AP 2381 with the oil plug on the side.

The crud collected on by glove was not past the first seal inside the jack. The tank oil was NOT contaminated. This crud was collected after 32 years of use. Jacks should ideally be wiped off before retracting the jack, to its storage position. When the jack is out the residual oil on the chrome shaft attracts dirt. The dirt will somewhat wipe off when retracted, but eventually collects near the bottom seal. Does anyone wipe down their jacks before retraction?

If OP refers to kev, as original poster, yes there are other jack configurations of the same AP 2381 also known as an RAP 2381. As far as abbreviations or acronyms goes we are speaking to thousands of members here and we have space here to please spell out exactly what you are stating. I ran across another AP 2381 Jack this week with no hole for oil in the bottom plate. This AP2381 with different serial number had an oil plug on the side. On this kickdown 16000 pound jack HWH AP 2381 there is a snap ring on the inside of the bottom of the jack. Once the bottom snap ring is removed the inside cylinder can be removed. You do not need to cut the welds off. Removal of the inside snap ring will permit the inside cylinder to slide out. I will edit with pictures later.

Edited for jack removal. Even if you are sending to HWH, this will help your removal. Still not an easy job.

I will be showing the way to repair the AP 2381 16000 pound leveling jack. To Remove this jack you need to use a heavy duty jack to raise up your coach. Mine is 10 tons or 20,000 lbs. Once you have jacked up the rig, then support it on jackstands that will carry the weight of the coach you are working on. Under the coach you can swing down the jack and put a socket in near the top as shown in the picture. The socket is circled in the photo. After you have disconnected the hydraulic line. Be sure to plug the hydraulic line and cap the jack fitting. Also remove the jack indicator and grounding wire and tie them up to the underside or your rig. Then you can remove four bolts holding the HWH kickdown jack to the coach frame. Be careful the jack assembly is about 65 pounds total. Once the jack is removed from your coach or rig, the springs must be removed. The procedure for hwh jack springs - Leveling - FMCA RV Forums – A Community of RVers removing the springs is posted in other threads under "Jack Springs." This jack does NOT need to have the welds cut off. Remove the oil plug on the bottom of the foot and catch the oil. Then inside you will see a screwdriver slot. This is a bolt that will take at least a 2 foot breaker bar to remove. The bolt is threaded in and locktite was installed on the threads. Be very careful not to strip the slot. Unscrew the bolt. I had to make a tool to fit the approximately 3/16" slot. The bolt will remain inside the jack. Once the bolt is unscrewed the cylinder will slide out of the cylinder housing.

For the most insects and spiders may have built a home in your grill hose. Try a new hose. You can also try blowing it out with air. There are safety mechanisms in propane grill hoses. The hose safety mechanism gets plugged up with debris. You can also remove the safety mechanism. Rayin, On my grill the regulator is the flame control. There is not another regulator.
