RE: [FMCMotorCoach] Parts and information sources30

Thanxs again, I called the other people and I am having a new shifter priority
mailed.  Talked a long time with the lady, she told me the little history that
they had for my unit.
Why did they (FMC) advertise auto leveler when it was never installed on my
unit? The dash buttons are all there.  Ron Schooley

The corrected number is 1-800-821-2266. They are open from 8:00 am to 4:30
pm. M-F. The corrected portion is the "821". It was originally posted as
"921" which is incorrect.

Recreational Vehicle Service (RVS)

10900 Monterey Rd

Morgan Hill, CA 95037

800-921-2266

Motor Coach Restoration (MCR)

P.O. Box 513

1377 - 1200th Street (rear)

Lincoln, IL 62656

(800) 786-1536

RVS was originally set up as the factory service center for FMC coaches when
FMC got out of the coach business in 1976 and is owned and operated by Jim
and Jackie Black (son Mark is now also part of the business). Jim worked
for FMC as the factory trouble shooter at the time. He worked in the
factory during the entire time the coaches were being manufactured.

MCR was founded by Leslie and Karen Hoagland as they owned and enjoyed their
coach. Leslie recently passed on, but the business is being continued by
Karen and their son, Chris. They have provided FMC parts and service for
many years.

You didn't realize that FMC's have this kind of service available for parts
or service even though the coaches are 33 - 36 years old.

Stephen Heinrichs, 1046

Apparently the lever had broken before and had been 'mended' , lucky, others
have had same problem. They say RVS? &MCS? have replacement parts.
