I join FMCA and bought the into the towing service and after I went though several threads about towing services and notice that most of the senior members on the forums were on something other than FMCA service. I got worried might made a mistake so I joined Good Sams on 69,99 special and currently have overlapping services.

Where I have heard if younger people sign up rates will go down ----- Oh yes I remember now The Affordable Care Act and how that work out.

Those that don’t like or have time to attend rally’s I don’t think there is a answer to your question.

The Wrangler is ok. Any vehicle that has “EPS” (Electric Power Steering) I would stay away from for towing 4 down.

I would say that’s not bad percentage base it off the percentage that goes to rally’s. Most national rally have less than 2% of the membership bothers to show up and look at the effort put into organizing one.

I believe our 2017 GC Limited experience the wobble when we turned left leaving Loveland CO. I say I believe because we thought we had flat tire on the coach or toad but after pulling over to the side of the road we couldn't find anything wrong. We continued our trip without any additional problems. After reading on IR2 thread with numerous 16 and 17 Jeep Grand Cherokees having the wobble and what felt like it described our incident to the tee. We have a total of 3500 miles towing the GC

My 2017 Grand Cherokee limited also has the " electric assisted steering " just like the 2016 so far so good but there are 2017 owners that are having the problem also. We leave Saturday for 900 mile 2 week trip so we see if we have the wobble.

I thought about using the horse trailer pads you can buy at Farm Supply and cut them to the correct size to use under my tires while in storage. They are made from recycled tires so I won’t think they held any chemicals that would damage the tires. What do you think?

Mine is 2017 GC bought in June 2017

We just got back from 3600 miles towing a GC without a problem.

The question is how many of those 3000 plus will sign up for the second year of membership. I'm in the wine business and we say the first bottle is a easy sell but getting the customer to purchase that same bottle of wine again is a lot harder sell.

Anyone know what the plans are for this forums if this passes? I guess it will have to mirror RV.NET that supports both Motor Coaches and Towed type RVs including Tow vehicles

After not seeing any great reviews of FMCA towing service I got worried and got Good Sams offer of 69.99 first time special and they offered a package that sounds like assist but only 30.00 a year.

I currently have FMCA road side but after reading that most of the FMCA members commenting here use other services I will be looking else where also. I haven't had to use them yet so no comment on th quality of service.

We have both a built in McNally and portable Garmin in our coach and if the Mcnally and the Gamin disagree we ALWAYS follow the Garmin. If there is time we will also verify the route against Waze. The Garmin has been spot in in the last 20,000 miles of RVing.

I'm not sure why anyone would go to rally with a coach and park in a big field with bunch of other RV crammed together on questionable power source and no shade and even pay a premium price to do it. I would much rather go to place with trout stream behind my coach and trees to park under and for the same amount of money I can do 10 days or more. If I didn't need a toad braking system and couple other products I wanted to checkout I wouldn't waste my time going. I have talk to a lot people with FMCA ovals on the back of their coach and about half were no longer members and most of them stated that if you don't go to rallies then FMCA has nothing much to offer. As you can see I'm not big fan of Rallies. I going just for the vendors and that's only 10 bucks a day and two nights in hotel and we head back home get ready for our month long trip to Washington state and down the west coast.

We not bring out coach. It would be a 1400 mile round trip plus camping and fuel cost we figured for just a few days we drive our car up for less than half the cost of bring the coach. We're interested in RVI3, Brake Buddy and Blue Ox.

We are driving to Indy for the show part and we will be looking for a braking system for our new TOAD 2017 Grand Cherokee. I assume most of the big names in braking system will be there but my question is do they sell at the show and do they have inventory that you can bring home with with you? Do they have show pricing?

Here is what I'm thinking about but would like to see one before I order it. It's a smoker and grill all in one. Smoker Grill

I think you hit the nail on the head also, this is our first year and probably our last year of membership in FMCA. We will remain members of the Good Sams for the benefits.

This is our first year as a member of FMCA and our 10th year members of Good Sams. We just renew our GS membership since the savings on fuel and camping more than pays for membership but we don't go any of the GS functions. We talked about FMCA and at this point we have decided to drop them with the membership expires. We attended a local FMCA chapter rally and they just sat around tell stories of the great adventures they had the past but no real plans for the future other than the next rally. We are into traveling and meeting people and visiting new places not going back to the same parks over and over.

I have a 2013 CRV and the battery would go dead in about 6 hours of towing but from day to day non towing it waas fine. Brought back to the installer and verified even with the fuse pulled I was getting some drain on the battery. He gave me choice on paying him by the hour to try to figure out what causing the drain or just run charge wire from the coach to the car battery. After getting the charge wire run I no longer have battery problems.
