A place to "vent."

IMO the best place to vent is in the forum that fits your rv type you want to vent about. That way the venter gets feed back from those that have the rv or those that have experience with the product or has been through the process and can give out contact info/numbers/names/etc.

Boy, what a controversial topic to start. Sorry to have brought it up. However, listening to people relate to others about their lessons or history concerning a topic is how one might learn.

Jeep has been the go to vehicle for towing 4 down for decades.

IMO the towed vehicle which is the very best suited for towing behind a motorhome is the 2009 4x4 GMC Envoy. Is there a specific place where I can post high praise for this product? Well, it won't do much good,.....GMC quit making it,....2009 was the last year for it.
IMO the best brand of motorhome ever made is Country Coach. Why did they quit making it?

Good to have a front hitch on them too, since the Envoy/trailblazer lines were some of GMs poorest work in the last decade or so. The folks I knew with them used them as toads too, more often than they wished. But usually towed behind a wrecker or on a rollback.

Venting is acceptable and encouraged (within reason) so vent away... :)

The worst that might happen is getting a thread closed or if really bad, result in you being "dis-membered"... :E

Refer to forum rules for venting criteria!

Wondering what you have for a RV and how is the resort coming?

Quality and taste or what one thinks looks good are two different matter entirely!

I'm talking about trailers that have garbage frames like Lippert. I hope your really not trying to argue that Lippert frames and such are good? A small amount of reading will tell you their NOT!

There are know junk and good stuff on the market.

I do the same as your example with Amazon reviews. Do the same with trailer reviews and you can get a very good idea of what is junk and what is not.

How about to warn new comers? To give them a fighting chance to know what brands are junk and what brands are good. Thanks to reviews and venting I did not throw my hard earned money away and bought a great brand that will serve me for many years.

Warn "newcomers" of what?

YOUR "perspective" of "quality"?

Your perspective of poor quality may be of the only one choice of the ugly wall covering print for the model you like.

Someone else may "love" that print but hate the layout.

Another one is one person hates a rear kitchen in the only size they want where others may love the rear kitchen but wish it was offered in the model they want.

In reality, the "Bad Brands" that get vented over is the ones that BUILD AND SELL THE MOST RVs.

This in effect skews the whole idea of trying to "warn" newcomers and muddies up the newcomers ideas and they just might totally avoid RVs or ones that they really like because of YOUR "OPINION" of what is "quality" and what is "JUNK".

Using reviews to mold your mind about things is a pretty sketchy way to live your life. It is easy to post shill reviews which run a brand down (competition) or put positive spin (manufacturer padding the happy accounts to gain sales).

Amazon is a good example of how this can get out of control, look around at the reviews, I take the top and best reviews and toss those out and read the MIDDLE REVIEWS. The MIDDLE REVIEWS are where the truth lies, not the worst or best.

Worst and best are way to subjective.
