Are RV forums dying?
Seems to me we get less and less participation in this forum each year:
Forum Discussion
I do a lot of fabricating and mods on my coaches, including residential refer installs....it's the hot rod I always wanted. I use to post the improvements, but no post goes unpunished.
I recently installed a simple shield under my Freightliner XCR chassis that diverted the air flow off of the ground and eliminated the dust storm my side radiator made going into a campground. At least two dozen people copied the mod on another forum. I posted it here and immediately had two knuckleheads tell me my fan wasn't running right. I pulled the post.
On another post, the OP was looking for solutions to his steep driveway. I have the same issue. I posted a photo of the concrete ramps integrated into the landscape of my $650K home and had some idiot post that my house looked like a cheap track home. This came from a guy driving a $1500.00 motor home.
So.....people are tired of the abuse by heroes behind keyboards who don't have the skills to interact with the public. There are many reasons for the reduction in posts, but abuse by others is probably the biggest reason.
