It’s never too early to work on boosting your brainpower and fighting back against the ravages of Father Time. It is far easier to prevent memory loss than to restore it.

If you understand what happens to your memory abilities as you age, you can take steps to keep your brain operating at peak performance. Seminar presenter Jeanie McKay has more than 20 years of experience as an adult learning specialist. She will explain many techniques you can use to help keep your brain and memory sharp.

RV WEIGHT & TIRE SAFETY, SEMINAR 5

The seminar will focus on "speaking the language of weight," providing the RV owner with the knowledge required to assure that the vehicle is operated within all safety limitations. The maintenance and care of tires, and the selection of the proper inflation pressure for optimum performance and safety is a major emphasis of the program. Did you know that under-inflated tires are the number one cause of tire failure? Spend an hour with RVSEF and have a safer and more enjoyable RV experience. Topics will include weight-related definitions; weight disclosure labels; towing components; stopping assistance; tire markings; tire load/inflation tables; new RV considerations; and tire pressure monitoring systems. There is no charge for this educational seminar.

In addition to the seminar, the RVSEF Motorhome Weighing Service utilizes certified scales to determine individual wheel position loads. Owners complete a worksheet that includes all critical weight and tire ratings. Scale readings and ratings are entered into a custom computer program that generates a weight analysis report, detailing safety margins on each component in terms of whether or not a rating is exceeded or not yet reached, and by how much. Owners receive a preliminary weight report at the weighing site, followed by a comprehensive report in the mail including tire load/inflation tables (allow four to six weeks). The retail cost of weighing is $49. FMCA Member Benefit price is $34. To have your coach weighed, sign up on Monday, February 25, at the Information Center located in Building 9 beginning at 7:00 a.m. Appointments are limited.
