Forum Question
With so many doing restorations on older campers, why do we not have a "Restoration" forum where those who wish can follow their progress? I do not know how big of a need their might be for it, so I thought I would ask.
Forum Discussion
- I think the bad side of what you are asking is after the forum gets around 1200 or more submissions then where do you look for things... No way i can find enough time to start scanning the forum from the start to find what I need to look at. You would need some additional search options. How many of us have read the whole HONDA GENERATOR forum threads haha...
I posted picture of my off-road popup on the photo section and though I would post the page numbers in my signature block. Then I find out those get changed from time to to time... I havent looked at my identified pages in awhile and they are probably not valid anymore haha...
Hmmm just looked and I am still good with PG 52 but page 56 has been killed by picture not found anymore haha..
I also found a photo I was looking for to what a couple of hanging oil lamps would look like if I removed my dry rotting bag awning. Glad I looked haha...

That's where the forum "Subscription" systems works well. Using it, you can easily track changes in specific threads.
Correct, I subscribe to threads I am interested in. I have the bookmark on my computer set to the "my forums" page so when I first come onto the site I see my subscriptions.Dtaylor wrote:

That doesn't cut it, as a restoration is really neither of those....
Sounds like a good section to me unless the restoration is done by someone else and is a downgrade. :B- How about posting in that section and start it off with "Restoration: (followed by what it is)" and then once there are a good bit of them going, then recommend a section or a sub section like in the Class C section.

Ohhh, I sure wouldn't say that to some of the forum members here that have restored some real nice RV's. And have posted pictures of all their long hard work restoring an RV from the ground up!
And this IS the forum where they post it on.

That doesn't cut it, as a restoration is really neither of those. I have a friend who is currently restoring a 1973 GMC MH that has the front wheel drive and bogey wheels that would provide lots of info for others.- There's already a forum for "do it yourself modifications and upgrades."
- I was just thinking...Gosh, our present trailer is fairly new and I'm always doing some kind of, "restoration," on it.....:E
