wildebill308 Report post Posted April 8, 2018 Why haven't you called FMCAssist? Call Seven Corners (877) 202-4176 or (317) 582-2619 (collect from Mexico) Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted April 8, 2018 Bill, If they have had a Dr. tell them they must return to their home Base to be treated then Seven Corners should be contacted. No disrespect to the lady but just because she or her husband doesn't want to make the trip won't justify calling. Now if a Dr. and a Hospital is involved that would be a different story. I do hope these folk get the help they need. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted April 8, 2018 eodted. Welcome back! WBill is right. You got the coverage, use it. I'm sorry, but I'm over 1,000 miles away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhartjim Report post Posted April 8, 2018 There's was an article in the recent FMCA magazine about a couple who had driven someone's motorhome back to their home. My magazine is in my MH and it's in storage but I think there was some info about who to call for this sort of help. I guess you could look at the online version and find the article. Another reason the spouse should be able to drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eodted Report post Posted April 9, 2018 Thanks very much for all of your responses! Our situation does not qualify for FMCA Assist since my husband is not hospitalized and it still alive and kicking! LOL And yes, I wish I had pushed my husband harder to let me learn to drive! Thank you again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted April 9, 2018 Call FMCA and speak to Member Service's. I read the article also, so it should be in the digital issue! It's a member to member service...like stop overs or member mechanical assistance! All that used to be included in our January issue of FMCA Magazine!

ispjs Report post Posted April 9, 2018 If we were going to be closer I would certainly help you out eodted. Normally this time of year we would be coming right up through Montgomery. However this year we have reservations south for another month. Have you considered finding a cheap place to temporarily store your rig, get him home, and then make arrangements for someone to come back and get it?

manholt Report post Posted April 9, 2018 Yeah! Surprised they did not jump on it...or maybe they want to wait until it get's warmer and at their convenience! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obedb Report post Posted April 9, 2018 Parkinson's can cause hallucinations. They need help. Kay/ maybe you could tow your dinghy. I live a very long drive from Maxwell Field and I have a wife that is not well, otherwise I would volunteer . Born in the Maxwell Field Hospital on 8/13/44. My dad was a flight instructor.

five Report post Posted April 9, 2018 I may be wrong, but it seems to me the FMCA mag, Jan issue I think, has a list of members who are willing to help other members who need it. They provide overnight stays, the capability to drive a member's coach home, and something else I can't recall...I don't have that issue at home, it's in the MH.

kaypsmith Report post Posted April 10, 2018 I had a brother that spent 2.5 years at Maxwell, 1952 to 54, I was between 8 and 10 years young then, made many trips from B'ham to Montgomery then, unfortunately he was pretty sickley those days. We lost him at a young age unlike most males in the family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaypsmith Report post Posted April 10, 2018 Thanks Carl, He was in the AF during the time of Korea, but he became ill here in the states and never shipped out.

Not FT, but getting ready to head out again. We usually spend three to four months on the road. Couple of days ago I had a guy (who knows nothing about RVs or camping) ask me when I was going "camping" again. I told him I was getting ready, have to wash the tent and clean the Coleman stove.

wildebill308 Report post Posted April 10, 2018 The other fun part is when they ask "when will you be back?" and you say I don't know, probably in Sept or October. Anything been heard from the OP? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted April 19, 2018 Anyone know the outcome? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted April 19, 2018 I think we can safely say that the OP found some one, who will drive the coach at the departure date that she want's! I got the impression, after her response to Kay, that it was not a emergency for now, but rather, when it warmed up more on the E. Coast. If you wish to pursue the rest of this discussion, lets move it over to Camping or "what's happening, who is where", in General Discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
