Camping World Take-Over of RV Sales Here??

What happened to the rv sales link here? It seems to lead only to camping world now. I haven't check that link in years, but now that I have, I have to say that's a monopoly that retracts from the free-exchange of information.

I emailed about this last week, and received what I'm sure was an automated response, but haven't *really* gotten an answer, so I'm asking here.

What happened to individuals (and other dealers, for that matter) being able to list their rigs here?

    If I recall correctly, that sight was part of the "Blog" ....kind of an experiment. It did not last long, refining the site was a priority. Progress.

    Good Sam did not "take over"...it has always been part of the "family"...consolidation........

    But this was not always so....back in 08 when I was shopping around, the sales listing site was wide open.

    So when did all others have to take a hike? ie: when did good sam either take over or shut others out?

    The site is owned and run by Good Sam Enterprises of which Camping World is a subsidiary. The for sale site conflicted with their business model. Simple really. I thought everyone realized that given Sams picture at the top of every page!
