Is this Site Declining and losing Members?

The other day I posted a rather innocuous rhetorical question on this forum about how I felt the RV manufacturers were missing what I believe to be a small but significant market segment.

To my complete surprise this thread went for 100 posts and over 3300 views. ??

Yet at the same time in Modifications and Upgrades I had posted something really important, or so one would think, about the renovation of my trailer and the re-do of my bathroom where I tore out the entire vanity and sink and replaced them with "Real" fixtures and new flooring, and tiled with real tile the new countertop and backsplash all with photos and explanations. Few were interested.

So when posts like these attract many many if not hundreds of participants and a hard information post like my trailer redo goes virtually unnoticed what does that say about what truly interests the most people here?

Yet many who praise the site do so citing posts like my bathroom one.

Many posters have laid the alleged decline to others imagination and or "Winter", writing something like; "Well it's just winter and it's always like this"

Then during Spring and Summer I read the same comment Just insert the appropriate season. "Well everyone is busy actually camping and not on the Forum"

There are many of us who full time and are very active on the forum ALL YEAR. And if thought is given to it it would make sense that Forum activity should go UP when folks are not actually camping but getting ready, during those long winter months and when putting the beast away.

I think the winter argument is baseless.

Different strokes for different folks. I come here to read mostly about towing and camping, not modding. I have no interest in doing any more to my TT than I have to for proper maintenance. For me, it's a camping trailer, and I bought what I needed for that purpose. The bathroom is the last thing I'm worrying about. The toilet will rarely even be used, as long as I'm in a CG with at least a pit toilet. And for a 2 or 3 day trip, the full shower is not needed, although it provides a good place to take a sponge bath.

My wife and I can easily make a full week on the 42 gallons in the fresh water tank, and since we almost never camp with hookups, conservation of all resources is our mantra.
