Newmar has a rear escape door! Also, the rest of the list. Jumping out of a window does not appeal to me anymore!

Joe, Bill. Glad that we are back on subject. I totally agree! Carl

Who is heading where? Linda and I are leaving this morning for Ruidoso Motorcoach Ranch, Alto, NM...nice and cool. Original plan was on a family ranch in NE Oregon! I guess 70% eclipse is good enough! Word of caution, do not look directly at the Sun/moon during the event unless you have NASA approved solar glasses or camera lens filters! You will do permanent damage to your eyes if you look directly at it! I'm putting my camera on a tri pod with a timer that will allow exposure every 15 minutes. It's a 2 hour 58 minute event, starting at approx. 11:40 am central time. To view, take a piece of cardboard or white paper, punch a hole in it and view the eclipse indirectly, like the sidewalk or any flat surface with your back to the Sun! Hope it's a clear day for all

wla7pca7. Never thought I would say this, but I'm glad I have the lock, with the spring and not a pin! Mine was in a slight bind also...don't know where your at, but I took my coach to Texas Coachworks AKA Texas Custom Coach in Pipe Creek, Texas. They adjusted the door and put in a heavier spring, have not had a problem in 3 years! I keep my locking systems lubed with graphite.

Wish you luck and safe travels! Carl

The cheap one is made in the USA ! The heat is terrible, 102+, is like a sauna....we are heading for Ruidoso tomorrow! 78/55, I can handle that for a week..

It's a pneumatic door, just like the once on an airplane....inside the door at the handle, there is a slide bar that's attached to the spring. When the spring breaks, you need to insert a screw driver into the jaws and twist...door will open! I always leave one of my big horizontal windows, unlooked....replacing a screen is cheap, whole window? Not !

Bill. FMCA is not suppose to be profitable...it's a non profit corporation! FMC is the once who you should turn your wrath too!

Of the Fraternal Organizations, most depends on dues, gifts, wills and Fund Raisers! Tax free Foundations, depend on Grants and monthly gifts! All have both hourly and salaried workers, everything from telephone operators, accountants, comptroller, legal department, Board of Directors, President, VP, CEO, etc. We, FMCA, is no different.

BillA. Your being argumentative and that has, as you very well know, no place on this Forum! Please, lets get back to the Original Post...Allowing Towables! PM me if you wish.

Did you get your dip stick calibrated 6 months ago? Did you add a can or bottle to your slobber tube?

flokens. Welcome to the Forum! Have you tried calling REV in Decatur, IN. they own the Safari Brand, ask for Tech Department and have your VIN# and engine # handy. Safari International has their own Forum. If all else fails, send a PM to RSBILLEDWARDS on this Forum, he has 2 Safari's!

Nancy. There are several cost effective RV Parks between Sydney and Campbell River on Vancouver Island . Your biggest expense is the ferry's! DD69 is correct about the parks, some have basic service others not, all have a "dump"! Sorry, it's been a long time since I did that loop...send a PM to Tom Butler. He's been everywhere! Or close to it.

WBill. Kicking your tires, is a bit "old fashioned" !

Also, Bamboo and Cork...or at least he did 2 years ago! Carl

Chad. Welcome to the Forum! You have a 2007 Rev also and a socket problem? Herman. Your right about the "simple" part.

mark. Welcome to the Forum! What make, model and year coach do you have?

FMCA is not a business, all are non paid volunteers! Yes, the folks on the EB get their qualifying expenses back! FMC is a for profit business and people get salaries and insurance just like any business. Sorry Bill Adams, you need to read the Constitution, Charter and By Laws!

Kay. 60's and 70's we still had "Barge" Fuel...ugly stuff.

Bobby. Welcome to the Forum! You do realize that this Post is 7 and 1/2 years old???

Blake. There are a lot of Lebanon's...what State?

Have you called the tech department at Fleetwood? I don't think the 07 was a part of American Coach then...they are now!

I'm with CarlAda. Same reason I use a RE Agent to buy or sell property! No headache, no surprises...85-90% of something is a lot better than 100% of nothing!

Bill A. GB, probably mid 60's...EB 70+! I'm GB or was, 74+. I don't have a answer, but I also would like to see the 30 to 50 year olds on both boards, same with The Future Planning Committee and FMCA Rally Committee! Truth be told, there are a lot of vocal ideas, but nobody is stepping up to the plate! Everyone has an opinion and then an excuse of why they can't be involved on any level...that is why you have us old dinosaurs, year after year!

Congrats on your new coach Jim! That's the one that Linda want's...I want the 40', wonder if they do a 2 coach discount? Without the DS? Carl
