One front air bag is not holding air due to loss caused by friction of 'someting' rubbing against 'something' & caused a hole (puncture leak). We can Not find any info at all via internet with Google searches. We did find a list of items in our Motorhome which included: Front Leveler from Lippert, Model Number: 176805. We certainly need help! We need to try to find a replacement air bag.

Many of you may have enjoyed "Willie & Co" a Fan Club as an FMCA Chapter over the years. A Ventriloquist act where Willie always let you know that he was no Dummy.

Bill went to be with our Lord and Savior, but will forever be in my heart. Bill’s celebration of life will be on March 6, 2022 at 11:00 am - 2:00 pm at The Lodge at Candler Hills. The address is 8575 SW 87th Circle, Ocala, Florida. Please keep Peggy in your thoughts & Prsyers.

Are you a Military Veteran? If you are, possibly in January the FamCamps (campgounds) located on or near Military Bases will be open to ALL Veterans. This comes under the new access to the Military Commissaries and Exchanges for Veterans.

While you are waiting to hear from Thor: check to make sure there is nothing physically preventing the slide from completely retracting/extending. Check the rail inside the compartments. Also check anything on interior floors...

If you arrive prior to your Date of Admittance; you will probably be directed to the Holding Area. It doesn't appear to be any fee for that day since the "Parking Days" are both Monday & Tuesday - which were based upon the date you Registered. From the FAQ for the Gillette Convention: What are the dates of the Gillette Family Reunion & Motorhome Showcase? The official dates are Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, June 19, 20, 21 and 22, 2013. Since we want to minimize parking delays, FMCA has established “Parking Days” for Monday and Tuesday, June 17 and 18, based upon the date you register. Your “Date of Admittance” is the earliest time you will be parked. If you arrive later than your assigned arrival time, don’t worry, you will be parked as quickly as possible.

I went to UPS.com to get a guesstimate for shipping a package. Then I remembered as a member of FMCA there is a member benefit discount for UPS. I spent several minutes completing the online info using the FMCA link to UPS. After completing that, I set up to ship the same package (zip codes from/to addresses) weight and package dimensions. I received the SAME, EXACT pricing! NOT a single penny savings! I called UPS and was told it will take three to five business days for my account to reflect any discount available. Shipping a package before that will be at regular rates.
