FMCA ASSIST PROGRAM - FROM OUR FMCA NATIONAL DIRECTOR
by Alfred F. Vormittag
FMCA ASSIST offers emergency medical evacuations for members who are traveling in their motorhome for business or pleasure at least 100 miles away from their permanent place of residence. All active FMCA members automatically receive this benefit. Read more on this on FMCA.com and print cards you can carry with you.This is just another free benefit of belonging to FMCA. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this. Please make plans to attend the CAT meeting at Madison WI. Look forward to seeing you all there.
TECH TIDBIT – COACH RIDE HEIGHT
by Brett Wolfe, VP Technical and Yahoo Discussion Group Moderator
If ride height is too low, the suspension can bottom out on bumps, giving a harsh ride and shocks can be crushed on compression. If ride height is set too high shocks can pull apart on extension and the center of mass is raised. Either too high or too low can destroy the U joints and drive shaft, particularly on a Diesel Pusher. READ THE REST OF THE ARTICLE
2011 CAT RV Club Advertising Program
by Ken Carpenter, SVP, VP Membership & Webmaster
We are in the early stages of creating a value proposition that will encourage dealers to place ads our website, in monthly eNewsletters or in print newsletters. A program announcement was emailed to Caterpillar dealers earlier this month. We are pleased that two Dealers have, in response, elected to participate in the program. Dealers can place a graphic ad on the Dealer Discounts page of our website and display contact information; they also receive a link to the dealer's website and have a MapQuest link for directions to their service location(s). We thank both Altorfer Caterpillar (Eastern Iowa, Northeast Missouri, Illinois) and Foley On Highway Division, (Piscaway, NJ) for their support of our Club.Those eligible to place ads in CAT RV Club media include FMCA commercial members as well as non-FMCA members seeking to earn business from our members. In this latter category, Essen Haus German Restaurant, Madison, WI, has purchased the following jumbo banner ad on several of the webpages on the Club website.
The Club is welcome to suggestions and comments on things we can do to improve this program. Advertising revenue is used to offset club operating expenses.
By Ken Carpenter, SVP & VP Membership and Webmaster

This is also a good time to verify that we have your Engine Number properly recorded. To submit them use the following link: Engine Serial Number/VIN.
