  1. Try finding a shop that services school buses. They can get stainless steel exhaust parts to replace your exhaust. They did my Harney Coach Renegade on a Magnum chassis.
  2. After you login, select the Membership tab/button. You should see an option to renew.
  3. I had successful results three times with FMCA Roadside Assistance. For every negative posting, there are several positives that never get reported which is true with all roadside assistance providers.
  4. I added a shelf using matching wood and stain. Also, I bought the 12vdc converter to adapt my CPAP, and installed a 12vdc outlet for it. Most auto parts stores will have them. We had 12vdc power below the bed. This setup eliminates about 15% loss in efficiency of the RV inverter. I have operated mine with the humidifier for 3 days without drawing the house batteries too low.
  5. I think that Colter Bay is a wise choice. It is one of the few NP campgrounds that has full hookups. If I remember correctly, 30 amp. From there you can drive into Yellowstone or the Tetons. Suggest you take the float trip from Colter Bay to midway to Jackson. Choose the last one of the day to see the most wildlife. You ride on a large rubber raft with a guide that does all the work. Also, there a back road from Jackson north that is between the river and the Tetons. Again late in the day is best for wildlife. That is where we have seen the most moose anywhere in the country.

    Mr

    I have Porter Cable, also. I installed another chuck directly to tank pressure of 150# and use 50ft 1/4 air hose. To top off the large motor home tires, pressure is needed.
  7. We had a 2006 for 16 years and drove 122,000 miles. Feel free to contact me. I would be happy to answer questions.
  8. Contact RV Cams in Louisiana. I did a replaced mine with color. I don't known about your other specs though.
  9. When Harney Coach Works, Beaver and Safari was purchased by Monaco, they immediately shut down Harney and moved their panel assembly to the Harney facility due to EPA problems in Coburn. We were charter members in the Harney Coach Wranglers FMCA chapter. Because no more Harney Coaches were being built, the chapter died out. We sold our Harney motor home in 2008 about the same time Fleetwood's parent holding company bought out Monaco. Ours was a 38 ft class A diesel pusher. Another manufacturer started building a super C on a large truck chassis with the name Renegade.
  10. Agree with Richard. If you get a large tear, i use EternaBond tape. I had a tear from a low limb, EternaBond has worked well for more than 10 years
  11. You need to remove the lines from the pump with shore water off. You will probably need to plug the line coming from the fresh water tank unless it is empty. The head of the pump has some screws the will allow you to detach it. The head doesn't have many parts. Just disassemble and clean with clear water. If there is some scale, use some vinegar. Reassemble and test. It may take a while to see if it worked. You can buy a separate check valve to place in the line from the fresh water tank, but I not had to do that. Just cleaning worked. Replacement heads for the pump can befound on Amazon. If I remember correctly for about $20.
  12. Probably the check valve in your water pump is bad or has some dirt in it which allows water to leak through the pump into your water tank. I would attempt to clean the valve first before replacing.
  13. The first screen of the web site indicates how to contact FMCA. Try that or call them Monday. Please remember they are in Cincinnati, so EST. You may not receive any refund for the current year, but should for all future years.
  14. Yes. Kiley use to produce the heavy duty Lebanese FMCA logo plates. On some ladders, you may need to use a shim for them to clamp and hold. I split about a 1 once pice of garden hose.
  15. Yes, three times. All were within reasonable response time. One was about 4:30 pm on New Year’s Eve for a lock out. Took about an hour to get to me and 20 minutes service. Be sure to get and read your contract to know what services are provided. When you call, if you don’t get the response you expect, hang up and call again to get another person that can read the screen about your contract. Keep in mind that you pay for this insurance. It isn’t FMCAssist for medical evaluation which is included in your dues.
  16. He who lives full time on FMCA funds probably will not be much help. Members talking to perspective new members is still the best recruiting strategy.
  17. I towed 2019 & 2016 Equinoxs. Only problem was with the 2019, I had to add a charge line. Otherwise, zero problems. I didn't have any tire problems, but I rotate tires every oil change.
  18. If you have an clamp amp meter, check to see if the load is very close to the rating of the breaker. If so, you may need to replace the breaker.
  19. Probably a switch is close to the left of your arm when in drivers seat. Mine also controls the wet bay and under the hood lights. Some individually can be turned off at the light, but the switch I referenced above is the master switch.
  20. Welcome to FMCA. I encourage you to look at chapters in your area. They provide the real family experience. If one doesn't feel comfortable to you try another. We have belonged to a chapter for 24 years and while we no longer have an RV, we still attend dinners and meetings when they are nearby. It is great to visit with old friends and meet new ones.
  21. The OP wanted to connect a battery charger to be able to charge the batteries at a location other than at the battery posts. The large heavy duty posts on the inverter would be a good location on some inverters, but the OP has indicated that the connections are not convenient on his inverter. So now, what do you not understand?
  22. Only because the connections are readily accessible on my inverter, but OP states his are not; therefore, another connection location needs to be found.
  23. While you are in the area, I encourage you to visit the RV Hall of Fame if you have not been there. It is located at 21565 Executive Pkwy, Elkhart which is the southeast corner of the intersection of County Rd 17 and I-80. The bricks honoring FMCA members is located northeast of the northernmost part of the building. They have on file in their library every issue of FMCA's magazines.
  24. I probably would not if there are fuses between the bus bars and the batteries. An exception if you have an inverter, would be to connect to the posts on the inverter. There should be one fuse that maybe 159-300 amp rating in the inverter feed.
