FMCA

[Dave5Cs]

Haven't gone to a mall in 20 years. Buy our food at Costco, Winco & Whole Foods. Clothes on line if needed. When that magazine comes it goes in the trash because it sit around for days and no one wants to read it. It seems only to be about big fancy plastic fantastic s that cost way more than we have of would want to spend. We only joined to get Coach-net. Their tire program is not that good. We found good tires new for a lot less than their program. Their medical is way higher than ours. for some it might work but it didn't for us.
We got Good Sam's years ago also and have never used anything but the trash to throw away all their paper waste they send us. Just saying.
Now the only thing we see with FMCA is them going to bat for us to keep RV rules in line in every state with the Government entities.

We buy Coach Net insurance every year without being a FMCA member.

And I use Good Sam Road Assist without being a Good Sam member.  No magazine, no trash advertising in my mailbox.

I used to be a FMCA member prior to 2003, and I'm a Good Sam Lifetime member (prior to Camping World). I don't get anything of value from either (unless you count the Camping World "Discount").

[Dave5Cs]

Camping World is no Discount. You can get anything they sell anywhere else for less.

  FMCA is like many other organizations,,as an all volunteered organization, it depends on members becoming involved thru participation,,not just sitting back on your @$# and waiting to "get your value in return" (for doing nothing).>>>Dan

Where did you get Michelin for a lot less than their program? I'll be buying tires this spring and only use Michelin, even though every other brand is better and cheaper......

You don't really save that much by the time the dealers get through with all their fees,I bought a set I paid Michelin direct for the tires,they shipped to my local dealer that was honoring the program 60 miles away and he wanted $125.00 plus taxes per tire to mount the 315's .FMCA's Cooper tire program is a lot less trouble IMO

Michelin's seem to crack and dry got faster than others, here in the desert southwest, lvmci...

Yep Michelin's do crack here in the desert,mine cracked bad the 19.5's on Sonja's Trek and the Michelin rep told me that was UV cracks nothing to worry about just drive it.
BS we blew one in Wickieup 2 weeks later and it took Michelin 9 weeks to adjust the tire at a huge discounted pro rated price.We have Toyos on the front now   

[Dave5Cs]

Cheesie don't have Michelin's, Wouldn't buy another set of them. Had them go bad on coach and on our Buick at home also. We also now have had Toyo's on Coach and Hankooks from Indonesia on car and Jeep. Nice riding. We had Hankooks from China and they were a harder rubber to the touch and they shredded on our Jeep while towing it. The replacements were from Indonesia and you could feel the difference, more rubbery and a smoother ride from Walmart.

 Dave,, If you figure your bus will make it from Roseville,,then be sure to get your application in ASAP,,it's always a madhouse at the gate when we don't have the time to plan.. Over 50% of attendee's arrive unannounced and it's a headache.>>>Dan  (We now have more parking and it looks like a big one this year)

[chessie4905]

I mount my own tires, don't visit deserts and coach is stored inside. That should take care of some issues. There's a lot of good tires at much better prices. This set will be the last set I'll ever buy I expect. I happen to like and use Michelin on all my vehicles since the 80s.

[windtrader]

You guys have an enormous amount of experience with heavy truck tires so I take your less than kind comments about Michelin tires seriously. I do notice so many of them on fleet vehicles though. Is it maybe not as much of an issue since they wear rapidly while in daily commercial service so things like UV issues just don't show up? It seems certain that fleet managers are closely watching the tire wear, defects, and cost to purchase tires that provide the best performance for the least cost.
