    We use our iPhones as hot spots for hours on end. A few times for more than 24 hours straight. We are on AT&T 30 GB per month plan. With AT&T, I can use the phone for calls and data at the same time which I don't think you can do with Verizon just one or the other. We do tether (USB cable) our phone to our laptops to keep them charged while using. Also, tethered is a little faster than WIFI between pc and phone.

    Brett. So right, but I am 76 which is older than the average and try to keep up with technology. I would like to have electronic voting added to the mix. If there is a Bylaw change made, it would take some time to create the procedure and method to count both electronic and paper to insure that only one one vote is counted if there is a duplication.

    Thanks Chris for giving an update regarding motor coach return. I wasn't able to get to the FMCAssist seminar/presentation at Indy to get the latest update. Members do need to know that the coach does need to be roadworthy, and FMCAssist does not pay for breakdowns or repairs. But still it is a great benefit.

    Possibly a generality, but I think more senior members will use the paper ballots and younger would use an electronic method if it were available. But in either case, I doubt that there will be more than 15-20% of the membership will vote.

    Herman: Bylaw amendments are voted on by the Governing Board. Constitution and Articles of Incorporation are voted on by the membership. The Indianapolis Governing Board voted to send the changes to the Articles and Constitution on to the membership. The Bylaws were approved by the Governing Board as proviso changes pending the membership approval of the Articles and Constitution.

    I just compared prices on 275/70 R22.5 Michelin XZE2 & XZA2(didn't find XRV) and Continental Coach HA3 via the FMCA web site. The specifications are very close and load weights are identical. The Continentals were $50 less per tire at $489.32 + tax. So, I am considering Continental, but do not know anything about them as related to RV tires.

    Wildbill. About 6 months ago maybe more, the announcement was made that the Transport companies will no longer drive back MotorCoachs older than 10 years, because they were having too many breakdowns.

    FMCA's Policy and Procedure 1000 states the conditions to change the FMCA Bylaws. Proposed amendments shall be received by FMCA no later than January 1st of the the year the proposal is to be considered by the Governing Board. Adoption of the proposal requires a 65% affirmative vote of the Governing Board. There are several more details in P&P 1000, but the above are the basics. At best it would be the next governing Board meeting at Gillette before consideration of electronic voting can be stated in the FMCA Bylaws.

    You can send them back to Kiley Mold for repaint. Don't know if there is a charge.

    If you go to Vehicle Administrative Services (Vas), you will find: "Because we are committed to the RV lifestyle, we offer our customers a premium RV motor club benefit through SafeRide Motor Club, Inc. This motor club has all the optional benefits of a typical RV emergency roadside assistance service mentioned above plus". The FMCA Roadside Assistance seminar presenter at Chandler stated that VAS is the parent company.

    If I remember correctly at Chandler I asked the same question and the answer was to allow two business days.

    Check on VAS who is the provider of FMCA Roadassist. They use to handle Coach Net until a few years ago.

    Tire Blowouts

    Over weight and under inflation.

    You can get a stitching awl at Backpacking stores or order on line. The thread comes in tan or black and about the weight of 10# fishing line. I have used it to repair awnings and the straps on backpacks which are heavier than you would be sewing through.

    I agree with Brett. Last year my total expenses was $1.54 per mile of which 60% was depreciation.
  16. rossboyer
    We also received a check, yesterday. Not as much, but our replacement cost may have been less since I did the installation. Four year total is to be $742.20, or about 2/3's of my expense.

    I would use weatherstrip cement available at most auto parts stores.

    Why not just wait for the results of the vote. A poll or straw vote doesn't do us any good.

    Some Area rallys do have dealers not manufacturers bring coaches. Great Lakes Area has been in Goshen, Indiana the past 3 years besides the dealers two manufacturers did bring coaches. They were from the Elkhart area.

    The Governing Board approved sending ballots to all the membership to vote. The ballots will go out in the September, October, & November issues of Family Motor Coaching.

    Today, the FMCA Governing Board will vote to decide whether or not to send the issue on to the membership. If they do, the ballot will be in the September, October & November issues of Family Motor Coaching. Your ballot must be returned by the end of November. If the Governing Board does not recommend to send the issue on, it is dead for at least another year.
  22. rossboyer
    Dump now. Don't wait that long between dumps.

    If I remember correctly, your unit has a Manblok water manifold. Try turning off the sink hot and cold and refrigerator cold lines to be sure the leak is not before the other valves or ice maker shut offs. I once had a leak from the hot water heater that is in the rear of the coach. Leak showed in the outside bin below the kitchen sink, mid coach.

    Welcome to the forum. Safe travels.

    FMCAssist is one of the greatest benefits that enables recruiting new members. Plus it is for me to have the assurance that it provides. An equivalent insurance ( Good Sam is not insurance) policy for a couple would be $110 to $129 per year. There are policies out there that exceed $500 per year. Also, FMCA is a not for profit social organization which prevents FMCA selling to non-members.
