*~Posting suggestions from the Moderator~*

Welcome to the Open Roads Forum.

The first step in obtaining information on a specific Campground, Resort or Destination should begin with a Search. The Search function is found in the upper left of your screen. Type in the location name and read through the threads. Your question may be answered there.

If not, following is a list of suggestions for constructing a post that perhaps will have the best opportunity for eliciting quality responses:

1. Make the Topic name as specific as possible. What are you looking for and where is the location?
2. When asking for campground suggestions, list what is most important for you -- the facilities, the views, the activities, etc. Do you need hookups or an extra long pull-through? Do you require Internet access?
3. List what activities your family likes such as hiking, fishing, shopping, or visiting attractions in the area. On the other hand, perhaps you are just looking for a place to stay for the night. If you have special situations such as pets, let that be known.
4. The approximate date of the proposed trip is helpful since the availability of campgrounds and attractions is often dictated by the seasonal conditions and/or local events in different parts of the country.

Here’s wishing each of you a year full of great camping experiences.

Sandi,

Moderator of Campgrounds, Resorts and Attractions.

  • RV.net need to develop a web-based database that allows RV parks with an authorized ID and login. To update their parks information,

    This same database would also allow RV.net members to add their comments to each one of these RV parks. Also should have some type of rating system.
    This database should be allowed for members only after they login, to run different queries. With advanced lookups, like by state, city, full lookups, WiFi, and etc.

    The comments section would be a self monitoring system to make sure the RV parks only put accurate information.
    Those RV parks that did not play by the rules would be placed in a non-active
    Until they complied.
    RV.net would have no liability in this list, as it would only be provided for member’s convenience.
    I'm sure there's a lot of other ideas you could incorporate in this database that this would be a good simple start

  • I agree with the Admiral! Old slow equipment. Don't need the flashy stuff. I once suggested a seperate place for people to show off their computer and cartoon skills. Then I found and checked the box to make em all go away.
    Cheers for Moderator!
  • Hi, New to this list and I'm looking for a nice park to stay at in New Orleans in a few weeks. I would like to stay as close to down town as possible but I want a nice park as well. Ideas ?? Thanks Chuck
  • One quick suggestion that I realize is a very large undertaking. This forum has a tremendous amount of good information abet it is hard to find exactly what you are looking for at times. Could this forum be broken down by CG’s in either state or region ? It would make it a much more user-friendly data repository.

    Thanks and keep up the great work.
  • I personally like an interesting signature....it adds a little sparkle to the conversation!

  • FunCruiser,

    Hey, don't do it for me. Some people like that stuff.

    My equipment is slow and it takes a whole bunch of needless time to load it up when I just want to scan the narratives.

    Sorry if I sounded curt with the OOOOOOH!! stuff. Please accept my apology.
  • The Admiral commanded and the peasant wrote: FunCruiser,

    OOOOOH!!! Your flashing interior pics signature finally did it!

    I permanently unchecked the show members signature box from my profile.

    Sorry, Just trying something different. The wife is always asking me to experiment with new techniques, whoops, sorry, I got carried away. Anyway, it's back to the old....

  • FunCruiser,

    OOOOOH!!! Your flashing interior pics signature finally did it!

    I permanently unchecked the show members signature box from my profile.
  • My thoughts exactly. Just the other day, someone asked for a recommendation for a good CG in N.O. and what ones to avoid. That's it!!! I had no idea of what they like and didn't respond.
  • Two great suggestions AWV! Topic consistency and lunch! Guess I'll wander over to Carl's Jr. and ponder my prose!
