Tiffin, Ohio

FMCA membership number:  F167162. We joined FMCA in 1993.

FMCA chapter membership: National RV Great Lakers

We decided to buy a motorhome because:  We wanted to travel.

The best thing about motorhoming is:
The people you meet and make friends with

When we’re not motorhoming, we’re:
Taking care of our property. We travel approximately 10 months per year.

Our favorite motorhoming destination:  We go to Florida ever year.

Our all-time favorite motorhome trip was:  Alaska. We also have great memories of trips to Branson, Mo.

Our worst motorhoming experience was:
When we hit a retread that had fallen from a semi trailer and it dented our right front hubcap and knocked our Banks power system off completely. It also dented our right rear hubcap, and either the retread or the dislodged Banks system damaged our towed car on the grille and shredded both right tires on the car.

Our dream trip would be:  Taking a circle tour of each Great Lake

The best thing about our motorhome is:
We are able to go anywhere at anytime we want to.

The best alteration or addition that we’ve made to our motorhome is:
Our Gale Banks system. And, our electrical system has a special safety feature: If we have our air conditioner turned on and want to use the microwave oven but are using too much power, the air conditioning will turn off until the Microwave shuts off.

Something about motorhoming that we know now but didn’t know when we started is:
How many friends you make and all the fun you can have and the sites you see around every corner.

If we could change one thing about our motorhome, it would be:
Put it on a Workhorse frame.

Our favorite thing about FMCA is:
It offers so many benefits and friends.

If we could appear as contestants on any TV game show, we'd choose:
The Price is Right

A motorhome tip we'd like to share with other motorhomers is:
Have good road service and good insurance.

Our hobbies are:
James: camping, traveling, walking, bike riding. Sally: curves, cards, bingo, dominoes.
