I'm surprised there's not more posts here
With TTs under 20 feet becoming more and more popular with the V-6 SUV crowd, I'm surprised a lot more posts don't appear here. Is it because folks don't know about this forum? I'm guessing that's pro...
Forum Discussion
I think all of the posts of the sub-forum show up in the general "travel trailers" listings.
Is it true that postings are down, overall, for this site? I have not noticed that, but maybe it is true. If it is true, it would be nice to blame it on Facebook, rather than on the fact that people might be scared off by the occasional rudeness. ;)
I think that traffic on the trailer forum (and maybe others) is seasonal -- during the colder months, half of the country (or more) is not able to camp, and so there is less to talk about.
The other problem, mentioned above, is that there are glitches in the message posting software. The site administrators are doing their best, but the software is pretty old, or so I am told. So there are times when (for example) we will compose a long and detailed answer, with some embedded photos to illustrate a technical point, only to find that the system chokes and will not let us get past the "captcha" barrier.
When that occurs, I try posting to rv.net, to goodsam, to trailerlife, etc., in an effort to get around the barrier. Sometimes that works.
But the hassle discourages folks from anything but the briefest replies, which cuts down on the overall traffic. It also cuts down on the depth (and hence the usefulness) of the discussions, since detailed posts are the ones most likely to be screened out.
I doubt that any of this is going to change, since it is so expensive to rewrite the code that runs the site.
