Call 513-388-5217. The receptionist should answer. Ask her to direct your call to the person that handles problems with Tech Connect. I think it is the Membership Department, but I am not sure.

If you have the FMCA app, when it opens tap on the Forums button to open the Forums also works. Additionally, when talking to someone about joining FMCA, the benefits button is easier to use than the magazine to help in convincing.

That should work well, also.

Yes, get out a magnifying glass and look on the 120v plug end. Probably, it is 5 watts. The one supplied is 15 watts if I remember correctly. Since we are not traveling across the country anymore, the 60gb hotspot on our phones is enough to stream while at a chapter rally. At home we have Verizon wifi network that is unlimited and runs 30-50gb. So we canceled and returned equipment.

Herman is correct. It happened to mine. I installed a new battery and charged it to 100%. Then I used one of those little white cube chargers that came with an old cell phone. That charger's output was just enough to maintain without overheating to damage battery, so I could then leave it on charge 24/7.

This is true, but remember that WD-40 is really a cleaner and doesn’t privide lubrication. Since HWH states that you can use Automatic transmission fluid in their hydraulic system, you could after cleaning us it sparingly to lubricant.

I have my jacks down. Will not be using motor home until next May. So 7 months all together.

So, is the problem that the top doesn’t fit between the seaty to make the bed? Another post stated that the top should fit on cleats If the cleats are missing orneed to be extended, buy enough 1x2 pine at a big box store. Cut to length and screw it to the seats allowing for the top to drop level.

Do you have the table top? If so, you might try Rockler, a woodworker supplier. They have stores all across the country. Don't think they would have the strip that mounts to wall. The top has a matching strip to hang the top on the wall. A folding or a leg that unscrews from top should be available at Rockler.

There was some discussion about discontinuing that service a few years ago, because there were fewer than 15 a year. Also, the service was provided by an outside firm. I do not know the status, but tomorrow call FMCA and ask for membership services and ask.

It is not unusual for there to be a difference, especially if the odometer has been repaired.

We are able to use our iPhone’s Personal hot spots with RoKu without any problem.

Since you will have WiFi, you might want to consider a TV that has ROKU streaming service. It us free, but they link to other services that charge. We disconnected DirecTV and added ROKU. Since we have Amazon Prime, we linked that at no added charge. Wife wanted PBS which we added for $5.00/mo. We added Netflix for $14.00/mo. So for $14 for Prime, $14 for Netflix and $5 for PBS the total is &33/mo which is much less than the $85/mo for DirecTV.

Bulging batteries are usually caused by users leaving the unit on charge 24/7 which is warned not to do. I had that happen. Removed battery to get part number and ordered one online. Replaced battery with new one, charged to 100%, removed high amp charger and switched to low amp charger that came with an old cell phone. I was able then to leave on charge 24/7 without any further problem.

Kwikee dry lub is what I have and use. Just didn't remember the name, and it raining outside to hard to get from the motor home.

Actually,WD40 is a cleaner. After it is used, a migrating grease is recommended. I think you find the spray that is marketed by a step manufacturer is that. The lithium grease should work well.

Suggest you download Roadmaster’s videos and instructions. They are very complete with great pictures to walk you through the process. I have never done a Jeep, but I understand that a Jeep setup is easier than my Chevrolet Equinox. I have used Roadmaster’s instructions for Chevrolet Metro and 2 Equinox. Not one hickup in their instructions.

1 hour ago, rayin said:Since we've already completely hyjacked HMCSW's thread; our MH requires 2½ G including the drains. Sorry I took so long responding, we were at an Indiana state recreation area (Raccoon lake CG)for 5 days and they don't have WiFi or reliable (1 bar) cell service there.
Ross come on down to Bloomington Menards to get the $2.69/G price.
Menards here in Anderson dropped the price to $2.69. They are still the lowest I have seen in this area

I am using my original air line. At least 10 years usage and more than 150,000 miles. I do have a spare, but have never used it. I have lost several sets of when not in use protection caps. They are just a soft plastic cap to keep water and road dirt out of the system. They have always given me spare sets for free.

RV antifreeze is $2.99 to $3.49 a gallon in central Indiana.

I have the Air Force One. Moved it from the previous Chevrolet to our new one. All together about 8 years trouble free. The installation instructions are excellent and their customer service is great.
Previously, I had Brake Buddy which worked well until it locked up and destroyed the front brakes, rotors and spindles. Luckily found problem before tires cough fire.

1 hour ago, MountainGoat said:Hello folks,
I find myself in a pickle. After having made winter reservations to be in Arizona from November 1 through April 30, I have broken my leg and cannot drive. I am searching for a driver for my rig to pick up in Longmont, Colorado before the snow falls and deliver to SKP Saguaro, in Benson. My RV is a 35’ 1999 Winnebago Adventurer on a Ford F53 chassis. I’m willing to cover all expenses and pay a reasonable fee to an experienced driver. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice are welcomed and I appreciate any input you can provide. Many thanks, Mike: mjcarr@comcast.net
Check FMCA Pinch Hit Drivers.

That is why I have one of these. Many Fleetwood models do not maintain the chassis battery.

The answer is it depends. What items are you going to have on? If you are only charging the batteries, a #12-3 extension plugged into a 20 amp outlet would probably be enough if within 25-30 feet. Be sure that the outlet you plug into does not have other loads on it. Also, avoid a GFI outlet, some don’t like RVs connected.
If you plan on operating a space heater, go up to a 30 amp extension and have a 30 amp outlet installed. Even if an electrician installs it, check the voltage between all the terminals to be sure it has not been wired as 240 volt not 120 volt you need.
