The current and past couple of issues of Family Motor Coaching magazine has present great detail about the convention. I am volunteering there, hope you will attend.

FMCAssist is worldwide. Only return of motorhomes is limited to Canada, Mexico and USA to a max of $5,000.

Bill Adams: You might want to consider keeping your membership active to be able to maintain the FMCAssist travel assist benefit to return you or your remains in a medical emergency. Similar insurance would cast you about $105-$115/per year; therefore, the dues are worth the yearly amount.

We use a water softener. Have not thought we needed a reverse osmosis system. My main concern is that system uses between 6 & 10 times the water usage. Also the flow rate of a system probably not enough to handle a whole coach system. Usually they are for drinking water and ice makers.

Yes, you can get glue on at most auto parts stores.

If you decide to use various weather apps on your phone, possibly you might choose a indoor outdoor thermometer. Ours will handel 8 remotes, but we use only 3. One under the hood where it gets good air flow for the outside temp. 2nd is in the water bay to be sure we don't freeze even though there is a light aimed at the water pump on a temperature sensor to turn it on. 3rd is in the refrigerator to keep an eye on any changes in there.

Rockler Woodworking stores has a variety. You can look on line, request a catalog or visit one if their stores. They have stores in many major cities across he country. I know Indianapolis and Phoenix have Rocklers. Call 800-279-4441 to find a location close to you. You might try custom cabinet shops and ask where they get custom sizes.

Try, with the jacks up, top off the reservoir with transmission fluid. There is a sensor in the top of the tank that tells the system that the jacks are retracted by the level of fluid.

I was asked how I measured db. Per instructions from Willson, I used my iPhone.

I recently purchased a Wilson cell booster. I only got 4db improvement. Called Wilson, and I was told that if the signal isn't 85db or less that their boosters would not help. Mine was -118db. Remember that the smaller the number, the stronger the signal. Therefore, when traveling, at some locations you may or may not have any booster be effective.

I don't remember the name or location in southern Ca, but Google Henderson. There are as I remember 2 authorized locations outside of the home locations, one in Illinois and one in southern CA. I had a solid front axle front end, they did a perfect job. The tech drove our motor home 4 times before he was satisfied. Sorry I cannot give you more information than that, it was about 10 years ago on our previous motor home.

But all that said, we need to have much, much better quality for the $100's of thousands that we pay for even an entry level Class A motorhome. The auto manufactures did it due to foreign competition. I guess we will have to wait for China and Japan to make Quality Motorhomes.

While Delorme has not had a 2016 upgrade, Street Atlas 2015 is still available. I sit in my easy chair at home and plan our whole trip including where we will stop for fuel and possible restaurants. The laptop sits well on the dash, plug in the GPS that comes with the software, and plug into the outlet just below the laptop that runs on the invertor. I need the invertor to be on anyway due to traveling with a residential refrigerator. Directions are at the bottom of the screen in 1/2 inch high letters. When it states that I have 130 miles to the next turn, I don't worry about what is next for about 2 hours. There is a learning curve as there is with any new system.

Mine were 16x16, but I think it comes in 12x12, also. I was planning on laying on the diagonal, but found I would have used about 20% more due to waste. The pattern I used is a lot easier to lay because you can lay a chalk line the full length and work from that line to the outer edges. Any imperfections that you may have will be harder to detect. Also, this is just one of 6 or 8 colors available. I am sure that there are other sites where the product is available, but you can contact Habegger Flooring, 260-724-2180, 1337 Village Green Drive, Decatur, IN 46733, or stop in and see them. Nice people.

I was asked to post pictures our Villa Stone flooring. Floor 1 is at the driver seat where I cut the edge off two commercial hard rubber stair treads to make a surface that wasn't slick below my feet. The treads were installed with contact cement because the floor at this location is a steel plate. The color shift between Floor 1 and 2&3 is due to change in sunlight. Floor 1 is the closest to the true color. Floor 2 & 3 are of the rest of the floor. No tile was installed on the slide out or in the bedroom. Floor 4 just shows my installation of s Samsung RF197 residential refrigerator. I don't know how to rotate Floor 2,3,&4.

If both valves are open on the inside shower or outside sprayer but the hand valve is closed on the head, the water will circulate on some systems causing the pump to recirculate, too.

The quality and support of Jayco is very good.

We have had a Cricket 24 volt for about 6 or 7 years. Ours was the first Resort Model that Rick's sold. It has a hard top which is not available anymore. We carry it in our Chevrolet Equinox. I will fit in a late model Chevrolet HHR, also. We use to carry it in a Pontiac Vibe. You have to remove some parts, collapse the length (it telescopes) and run it up ramps into the auto. The motor is the brake; therefore, you don't need to tie it down. I did replace batteries last year because the power cord became unplugged over the winter. The batteries were almost zero volts. They did recharge, but didn't want to trust it. The charger has a separate charge circuit for each battery, and you can leave it on charge all the time. The charger will charge to full and keep it topped off as needed. The difference between my 24 volt and the new 36 volt is about 10 to 12 % increase in speed. My top speed is 8 mph.

What did you do to make the change?

We have a 2006 Fleetwood Expedition. I have replaced the carpet with a marble dust and resin flooring product called Villa Stone 4 years ago. The product was suggested by Habbagar Flooring in Decatur, Indiana. They do the custom floors for Fleetwood where ceramic tile is not used. This product is installed with outdoor carpet adhesive and grouted with a resin based grout. Basically the installation is just like installing ceramic tile, but when done, the floor looks like ceramic time and weighs less than the carpet and pad that you take out. It is about 1/8 inch thick. Problems that you may find: 1. Hundreds of staples that must be removed. 2. Fleetwood used a pin to hold the plywood floor to the frame. When the carpet and pad are removed, I had 5 of those I had to cut off with a grinding wheel, counter bored the floor, put in large fender washers and bolted down the floor. Filled around the head with floor leveling patch available at big box stores then laid the new floor. Altogether, it took me two weeks. I did not tile the slide out. Total cost was about $750.00. We have been very satisfied. I would do it again.

Your favorites should still be there. There is an option to get them back, but I did it about 8 months ago and do not remember the steps. Google the problem and there should be an answer out there.

Looks the same as it did a few months ago. Thank you.
