I've been a member here since 2004, and have learned a lot from this forum, and I still monitor it for new info, and to help newbies when I can.Lately, I have been astounded by the number of members who have been on here for many years, have many posts, are labeled as SENIOR MEMBERS, and are asking genuine newbie questions.Had one today where the OP is a "senior member", with almost 500 posts, has been a member since 2015, and his question was how do you fuel a gas truck with a trailer connected?I'm like, how have you been doing it for the last 10 years? I mean, really? And this is not an isolated issue. Of course we are deluged with newbies due to the Covid rush to RVs, but did our senior members take a break during the pandemic, and while off, forget everything they had already learned? I could understand if the post was a tech problem that just occurred but fueling a truck pulling a trailer?:h:?

You have to hold them by the hand nowadays. Being a kinder gentler world can be beyond comprehension, makes you wonder how they get dressed in the morning.

Peoples RV lives can change dramatically with new equipment and new challenges. Much becomes unknown again. That is what makes life fun ;)

Well, he has a point really....but maybe he left off he has a diesel or other something..who knows. I pull my 37 ft. trailer with my 2500 gasser and it is quite the challenge to find a gas station I can fit into. 57 ft long when connected and stations today are not set up for vehicles pulling longer trailers, even the newly built ones. How can a company ignore putting in at least ONE RV friendly GAS lane. I have become pretty good at sizing up a station I can fit in. The biggest problem I encounter is others do not give an RVer the room they need to maneuver and will park you in so you have to wait on them to get done and move.

Larry, everything changes.....I towed a TT with a2500 Suburban for many years. Then sold both and bought a diesel truck. First diesel truck and I had some questions. Then we got a truck camper, never had one of those before and had lots of questions. Then we sold that and got a 5er, never towed one before and had questions.Maybe the guy asking about gassing his truck with a trailer attached had a motorhome for many years...so not new to the forum but new to towing.Lots to know and nothing wrong with asking questions.

Where do you put the dog bowl at home? Out of the way so you're not tripping over it.

Where do you put the dog bowl in a RV? Out of the way so you're not tripping over it.

The question about dog bowl is a ridiculous and stupid question. C'mon, really? Are some of you going to actually sit here and defend that is not a stupid question.

Where do you put the trash can?
Where do you put your shoes when you take them off?
Where do you put your coat if you don't want to hang it in the closet?

Where does it end?

All of these questions have been asked and answered by a lot of members here.

Many of them have shown the mods that they made to do these things All that I have seen since I have been here are thoughtful and in some occasions very inventive.Also all the technical questions that are asked and answered.

Is this not what this Forum is supposed to be?
To share Ideas and be helpful and share the many collective ideas and wisdom of the members,

if not then the ones that seem to be bothered by this should go elsewhere to spew their divisive rhetoric.

That would make this Forum much better.
Just my take on this.

We generally get good information or feedback about pretty much anything we ask on this forum. We generally read positive posts. We generally ignore negative posts. Luckily for RV.net, we get many more positive posts than negative.

Let's keep it that way as long as possible. :)
