Coming soon: training seminar for LMTV in Florida

[Lmtv772]

We are planning a seminar for LMTV owners and those in the market for one. We have vehicles on site on which you will be trained. We have military instructors for all aspects concerning LMTV
You'll learn what to look out for before purchase , PMCS , driving on and off road , we board the attendees nearby. It's going to be educational and fun. ( it's Florida after all with beaches within 20mins)

Sounds interesting. What is the approximate date (month) for this?

A focus on troubleshooting the electronics would be nice. That's one of the things that seems to make this MV different from what people already know.

 

[Lmtv772]

Probably January 2016
And yes, electronics will be a heavy focus. But also what to look out for when you purchase your truck.

Would love to attend this. Great idea!!

 

[Lmtv772]

We had a successful recovery for one of our members, which would have been impossible, had that person tried to recover the truck himself.
the Instructor had to
-fill all fluids
-new batteries
-fix electrical issues whilst on the road. (truck shut down)
it shows once more how important it is to know these trucks in and out , to even attempt a recovery while driving the truck home.
That is why I always advise to have the LMTV transported on a flatbed, especially if it's the first MV ever owned.

Electrical troubleshooting will be extensively talked about at the LMTV seminar.

Yes, sir. If this seminar goes well (which it should) . We are planning to do a fall seminar as well.

Where in FL are you planning on hosting the seminar?

 

[Lmtv772]

In Port Saint Lucie, Sir

 

[OktobrVega]

This is very good for us FMTV owners future owners.

But without spare parts out there yet, or if ever. Thats what makes this vehicle scary to consider buying or driving.

 

[ODFever]

Thank you. If you'd like, I can send out the details of the seminar to the people on my Central FL Events Mailing List. Please keep me posted.

 

[Shark Bait]

Gentlemen, I think it is a good idea to use this post to update on the Seminar , so subscribe to it
We have some very exciting things in the works

It would be a great get together but I live in Nebraska and the only way I would go to it is to drive my LMTV. I know for a fact that my wife would say... your kidding arn't you.... there's no way!

In January, the first 600 miles would be the hardest and then we need to return.

Question... How many LMTV owners do you think are in the lower 48, that drive them regularly?

 

[Lmtv772]

I know of a couple that are driven by other members
But we have 4 M1078 and an M1088 at the academy, which will be used for the seminar. The idea is to get hand on training, and if you like one, you'll be more than ready to drive it home.

I would go for sure, being a recent purchaser of a 2003 M1078A1 here in Wauchula, FL with plenty of electrical problems. Finding parts has been very difficult or even manuals specific to the A1.

 

[infidel got me]

It takes 20 min. to get to the beach if you live on Hutchinson island lol. I would be interested in attending, how much is the cost, and is it a one day class -- I know things are still being processed
Thanks,
WILL

I may be interested, based on dates and cost...
