Why is there not a "craigslist" type forum where we could go to post RV-camping only items we wish to sell?

Most of the items we have are specifically for our RVing family.

    You shouldn't be putting your phone numbers into the ad's! Just use the built in email exchange system to get the negotiations going....

  • We used to have a section for that but it became overrun with spammers and links for porn.

    Monitoring it became too time consuming so we killed it.

    Just as simple as that.

    They make their money by selling RV related items.

    And maybe, they don't to run a CL type site.


    Exactly! Bingo! They want you to purchase from Camping World (supplies, parts, and RV's), they don't want competition from private individuals. They might loose a potential sell. And I most certainly understand.

    There are other places, including CL that is designed for just what you're asking about.

    If you owned a gas-service station, how would you feel if someone put up a booth on your property where people could swap, pretty much, any automotive item they may have? What would that do to YOUR sales?

    Why not just post your stuff on CL and sell it? It's the first place I go for everything....

    or try the irv2 site.
