I have never had one, but from everything i've read, if you take the $$ you would be paying each month to the extended warrenty company, and put it in a savings account for RV repairs, you would come out ahead.

hmmm, when i called FMCA, the person I talked to said FMCAssist only covered the member and their spouse. They said my parents in law could get a seperate membership if they wanted the coverage and list my motorhome as the qualifying RV.

I got the Good sam one because it coveres everone traveling with you. Our next big trip will have my wifes parents and my adult sons. FMCA only covers the member and spouse.

i would also ask yourself, "what are you getting out of the tour, that you can't get out of roughly following the same itinerary, and visiting at your own pace"? I'm not knocking the tours, just that you already own an RV and have the flexibility to go where you want, when you want.

interesting, thanks for letting us know!

Just like Rayin said, other clubs and organizations such as Good Sam, Escapees, AIM and others are basically competing clubs. KOA is an organizarion that runs its own campgrounds and RV parks, and want you to join their membership so you will stay at their parks. none of these have any interest in working with FMCA to offer discounts. A few RV parks do offer a discount to FMCA members, especially if they are a Commercial member of FMCA.

fyi, this May, we will be taking a trip in our MH with my in-laws and my adult children. i checked with FMCA to see if FMCAssist would cover everyone, but it only covers the member and spouse. i decided to sign up with Good Sams platnum emergency medical service which coveres everyone.

I was almost ejected from my motorhome when i told my wife that it wasnt the pants she was wearing that made her look fat! Its great he survived and is doing as well as he is.

We will be making a 12 day trip from Colo. to Ohio and back in May 2024. My wifes parents will be along as well as my adult sons. Does anyone know if extended family members would be covered by FMACassist while traveling with us, or does it only cover myself and my wife? Thanks, Chris G.

in many states, they have "keep right, except to pass" laws. i wonder how strictly enforced they are if the right lane conditions are bad?

So, earlier this year, we did a round trip from Denver, down to FL and back. lots of great places to see in between there, on our southern route on the way back, we visited Ft. Pickens NP in Pensecola. there is a nice campground in the park you can stay at with hookups. As you head north, you could stop by Vicksburg NP and also the Nachez Trace Pkwy. Then, maybe in Oklahoma City, stop by the Oklahoma City Memorial. then, on the western edge of OK, check out Washita Battlefields and right after that, go to the Sand Creek massare in Colorado (they really tie together). From there, you could head north to Rocky Mountain NP, and then go to any NPs you want to see in WY.

several years ago, we stayed at the Bay Bridge campground in Yellowstone. although there are no hookups here, we were very comfortable with our 33' motorhome. we had a herd of bison come through the campground while we ate dinner. Very enjoyable!

this is absolutely true!!!

on my first motorhome, it didnt have a bypass, so i would drain the WH and then get about 7 gallons of the pink stuff and fill the WH with it, as well as run it through the rest of the system. i then drained the WH and recovered the antifreeze to reuse it the next year.

One other story is not really medical assistance, but FMCA being FMCA. in the early 1980s, my father was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. at the national convention in Soux Falls SD, he suffered a breakdown and was hospitalized. 3 FMCA families volunteered to drive his 1957 Fitzjohn bus back to Denver, bringing me and my teenage sister back home as well. They drove all night, and expertly parked his bus in its spot in Denver and dropped us off at my moms home in Golden. Not sure you could get that kind of support from any other group.
