FWIW:
We're life members of Good Sam and have been since it was offered. However, as we always have 2-4 RV's and sell or buy a different RV so often, our round GS logo stick-ons went bye bye many years ago with the RV sale (we don't trade in but sell it ourselves). Besides, there are so many Good Sam etc members but only a small fraction are also rv.net members or readers. How would you know which are?
I have to agree that having the term "rv.net" or "rv.net forum" and/or your forum name (handle) on your rig somewhere very visible would be nice and help members to meet or recognize each other quickly.
Our basic ident is on the rear of the Lance TC in an 8.5 X 11 thickly laminated double stick taped sign with large bold black in a pattern letters along with an 8.5 X 11 thickly lamintated black outline of Michigan map and a star where we live including the city name in bold black letters. Same is on our other RV units. So many other forum members have come themselves to our site and said they'd seen the signs. I real ice breaker!
So simple, quick, and cheap to do with your own puter and about any printer. You can use about any printing or publishing program or Word etc and design your own and as fancy or plain as you want. Years ago, I made ours in very bright colors with fancy graphics etc but the colors quickly fade in the sun so now they are black ink on white 24lb or 28lb bright white paper and laminated. The black ink holds up for at least 8 years and the paper is sealed against water or moisture intrusion totally. Shouldn't use thin under 5 mil laminate because the sign will be floopy looking and not stay flat. I use either 5 mil or 10 mil thick and it looks and stays professional in appearance. I have a very good HEAT laminating machine but if you don't have one at all, take it to a Staples or other office supply store and have them HEAT laminate it with thick clear film. The heat pressure rooled film melts together for a true seal and also to the paper and makes it look so bright and truely professional. The off the shelf sticky adhesive film pouches doesn't keep the moisture out and the sun rots the adhesive real quick.
Total cost of an 8.5 X 11 sign is about 50 cents including the paper, ink, and laminating film. If you have an office supply place do the laminating it may be $1 to $2 more. Our Staples charges $1 for a 5 mil 8.5 X 11 lamination. $1.50 for 10 mil. Double stick 3M etc tape is cheap and it's behind the sign and not affected by the sun. One has been stuck on for 8 years so far and is still stuck well and flat too. I do check them each year though as there's no guarantee but none have been loose yet.
