We use a Keirig with the fill your own flip lid cups. Most of the time we use Folgers, but wive uses decaf and I use regular. Both happy.

I would prefer a Meet & Greet during the Gillette Convention. When you volunteer, it is difficult for us to attend pre or post rallies.

Try Google for Caterpillar 3126B code xx. Some show two codes for an error.

Recommendation for Wi-Fi
rossboyer replied to sabredog's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
I have had internet data service several times when I couldn’t make cellular calls and I could see the cell tower. Seems that cellular data gets through even when voice will not. -
Recommendation for Wi-Fi
rossboyer replied to sabredog's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
We have used our data plan on our cellphones as our only internet connection for our laptops (30 gb/mo), but I don’t think I would stream tv shows. Even wifi at most campgrounds would not support streaming well enough. -
VAS is the parent provider and supports many different organizations. At one time I believe they did Coachnet and Good Sam. I have signed up for three years. I am sure someone will not be satisfied, but neather have all been pleased with Good Sam, Coachnet and all the others

Probably need to check with FMCA to get suppliers information.

Installing a 12 outlet for your 12 vdc to 24 vdc resmed power brick is fairly easy. Just be sure the center contact is positive. Using this connection is much more efficient than using an inverter.

Relatively common problem with low cost LED fixtures, particularly if they are on a dimmer. You can go on line a search for add on filters. I added one on a friends rv about 4 years ago, but I don’t remember what it was called or where to get it other than I ordered via Amazon.

First I suggest you weigh all four corners. Based on the highest weight corner for each axel, while cold, set pressure to what the tire manufacturer recommends plus 5 to 10 pounds but not over the max shown on side wall. You should be OK then. Mine are set to 107 pounds for all four corners. I then see 120 to 124 pounds after the tires get warm. Do not let out any air. If you do, you will be under inflated.

OK. I went out to the Good Sam site and the benefits are similar with a few differences. If you are not a new member and you want a plan for a couple the cost is about $90/year or $20 more per year than the FMCA benefit. They do offer the plan for less if you are a new member. For what is worth, I just renewed FMCA’s for 3 years.

I think there is confusion between FMCAssist which is repatriation insurance included in your dues and FMCA Roadside Assistance (The name has changed to FMCA Rescue) which is for breakdown services for your RV and has a separate charge of $69/year if you sign up for three years.

Annual mileage and how old is your coach?
rossboyer replied to mweiner's topic in General Discussion
2006 coach purchased in 2008. We have put on 90,000 miles or average of 9,000 per year. -
I must be older than you. I remember Bon Ami when it was a cake that you put on a few drops of water and the used a small sponge or rag to use it. Don’t ever remember a spray can.

The motors for my slide outs are centered on the width of the slide out. The motor is mounted to drive a shaft with a rack and pinion on each end of the shaft if that is the type of mechanism you have. One end of that shaft is like a hex nut that can be turned manually with a socket wrench. As I remember the motor is less than 4” in diameter and about 8-9” long, so it could be hidden in the toe kick under a cabinet or accessible under a plate in the ceiling of the bin below the slide. I had to have one replaced. I was asked did I want the same motor or the newer more powerful one? Go figure they didn’t know there was a problem of underpowered drive motors.

Also in the electrical bay, on the very back wall of the bay, there may be a circuit board. If you find the board there is a 20 amp(I think) fuse. The fuse is not shown on the RV diagrams because it is part of the board.

Individual Wheel Position Weights At Area Rallies?
rossboyer replied to tireman9's topic in Area Rallies
I don’t believe those are the reasons. I have had our coach weighed br RVIA and was weighed in less than 10 minutes wait time and blocking of traffic. -

RVIA stated they didn’t have enough teams to do all the requested sites. -

No one to weigh at GLAMARAMA this year. -
Low rate and backed by a company that has been in the Roadside Assistance business for a long time.

Actually, I found that they are square drive. The other set of four points is square also. Having them offset from the other allows assembly to be faster going down the line. Their driver bits will register faster.

rossboyer replied to neilfullagar's topic in Membership/Benefits
All vehicles that you list on the application are covered under the one yearly fee. I don’t remember how many vehicles besides the RV can be listed. -
Directions To The FMCA Round Bottom Road CG
rossboyer replied to 1999prevost's topic in General Discussion
Using Hwy 32 from the southeast is still the better route. Some of the Executive Board have 45 foot motor homes and tow an auto. Shouldn't be a problem, just take the turn off Hwy 32 on to Roundbottom slowly.
