I was looking at the roster earlier and had a thought that I would like to share.
There really is no Chapter in FMCA that is attractive to me. I would like to propose that we start a Chapter for the FMCA Members that would include Older Newells, Blue Birds, and possibly Prevosts!
Could be some work but.....................................

Now, now Marc, they let us in on their deal so we could get cheap fuel etc.! On the subject of Newell snobbery though, we have an "odor control" switch on our black tank. I always thought this funny. As Newell owners, our poop is not supposed to stink!

Speaking of odor control.. Does anyone add odor control to their holding tank?

Marc,
My Newell manual specifically says not to use any odor control chemicals however; it does say you can add a teaspoon of salt to help the active odor control system work.

Hi Steve,
I would probably join a chapter. My local friends own Prevost, MCI, GM buffalo, and Tiffin. I enjoy learning how different manufacturers engineer the systems in these motorhomes/conversions. I've been in FMCA for years (FMCA #232958). I would like to go to a rally but haven't been able to fit it in my schedule.

I would go if a new Newell is accepted in such a club. I do have a old FMCA # 5763s for what it's worth I grew up clubbing and we still enjoy our local clubs today
