isaaac1 Report post Posted July 7, 2018 I need to sign up for a new roadside assistance program, I had the old FMCA coverage, but I think it either just lapsed, or will in the next few days. I plan to sign up for the new Roadside Rescue coverage, does anyone here know how long of delay there is from signing up before it goes into effect? I know I will also have to extend my FMCA membership which expires in December, I ask because we don't have any RV trips planned until at least next month, possibly not until September, and I don't see a point in paying for roadside assistance coverage while the coach sits in its storage shed. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted July 7, 2018 You can wait for a while if not using your coach. Remember to renew for as long as you want coverage. You can purchase 3 years and guarantee the $69.95 price. You will need to renew your membership for the same 3 years. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ianbullock Report post Posted July 7, 2018 Yes, if my memory is correct, I believe it goes into effect 2 days after you sign up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaaac1 Report post Posted July 26, 2018 I just got around to signing up today, and wanted to post back to let any future readers of this thread know it is a 72 hour wait before it becomes effective. This works out ok for me as our trip is still a week away, though I would have liked to have had it last Monday, as I ended up stuck on the side of the road while taking my coach into a local shop to get the brake pads replaced and the dash air conditioner fixed. 4 miles into a 7 mile drive to the shop I blew a pin hole leak steel hydraulic hard line and lost all the automatic transmission fluid from my automatic parking brake. Thankfully I was able to refill the reservoir and barely make it the last 3 miles to the shop, getting another low pressure warning light as I turned into their parking lot. (The coach had been sitting for 5 or 6 weeks in its storage shed since my last 1,500 mile trip) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted July 26, 2018 Isaaac1. 6 weeks in storage should not show any ill affects on your coach. Pin hole leak? That's what Gorilla Tape is for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaaac1 Report post Posted July 26, 2018 Yeah, Gorilla tape why didn't I think of that, I even have some in the coach. Just what is needed to hold back 1800 psi of hydraulic pressure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
