I now pay $50.00 per year for ERS, administered through the policy by Continental Car Club whoever they are. It covers the bus and my other vehicles. The wife has ERS through Alltel on her vehicle. As far as I can determine, there are no maintenance exclusions and are towed to the nearest qualified service center. Until this post was started by Howard I paid $7.00 per year, I had to pay the bill and get reimbursed. I relied on my maintenance. That has been 3 years. I hope I never have to use it. Just for info, during my lifetime, unless a vehicle was financed, I only carried liability coverage. I have saved thousands, but it only takes once I guess. It's self insurance to some degree. For 35 years, I never carried in-flight insurance on the airplane for obvious reasons. How does that compute? Been quietly tell'n ya'll I'm out there on some things.

I haven't decided yet, so add one undecided lol. I plan on joining FMCA, but I haven't gotton that far yet. I'm insured for the purchace price of the bus, I did that to get it home, but I plan on adding more before I leave. When I asked to speak to the Motorhome expert at my insurance co, the gal I was talking to claimed she was the one. I told her I wanted awning insurance, incase the wind blew them away, when parked, and she asked " Oh, this will be parked"? Then she told me " Auto insurance don't cover that. That's covered under your home owners policy". Maybe I'll have better luck talking to FMCA.

This is what I received today. tom warner vernon center,ny 1985 PT 40 Dear Mr. Warner, I spoke with the head of our Technical Department, and he reiterated the fact that there are few incidences that are deemed maintenance issues. Those listed in the benefit guide are the most common: As follows: 1. The use of alternative diesel fuels cause problems, because the engine was not designed for the alternative fuels. 2. Accidentally putting gas in a diesel engine. 3. Improper draining of the fuel separator. Which should be done by a professional. 4. Failure to maintain the battery: the life of the battery can vary depending on conditions, but there is an average lifespan of an RV Battery, and it should be replaced within a certain period of time before problems arise. 5. Failure to maintain the battery during storage. There are procedures to follow to maintain the battery during storage. 6. Prolonged periods of non-use. can cause wiring an fuel filter issues, as well as dry rotting of tires.
