REPORT FROM WESTERN AREA RALLY
by Danny Quarisa, President
Danny, Dick & EarlSeveral of our CAT RV Club members attended the FMCA Western Area Rally in Indio, California in January.  While there, we were able to promote the CAT Club as well as have fun doing it.  We signed up 10 new members and gave out many more applications during the Chapter Fair and the CAT Maintenance seminar. 
 
A personal thank you to Earl and Marie McPeak, Dick and Joyce Jones, Al and Bobbie Vormittag, and my wife, Marcie, for their time and participation.  A special thank you to Johnson Power Systems (CAT Dealer) for putting on a great seminar and allowing us to promote the CAT RV Club. Also to the Beaver Ambassador Club and Freightliner Chassis Owners Club (FCOC) for allowing me the time to talk to their members about the benefits of the CAT RV Club.

MAINTENANCE SURVEY RESULTS
Thank you to those who responded to our questions about service work and parts purchased from Caterpillar dealers and how much you spend with them.  Invoice totals ranged from around $300 to $3,000 with the average expenditure being around $750.  Most spent enough on parts to easily justify the $15 CAT RV Club membership fee, that is without taking into consideration all of the other benefits of membership.

A common comment was that dealer personnel were not familiar with the program.  If you run into this problem, simply call (or have them call) 1-877-777-3126.  All they have to do is provide the Caterpillar program number on the back of the card; they may have to look the program up on their Caterpillar terminal.
