Is this forum dead, wow

I've been at the Forest River Pop Up forum as it's been the most active, but now Pop Up Portal seems the most active so I'll start sharing my time there as well.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yeh, the fighting, flaming, name calling got to be old here so I stopped visiting as much. But with moderators that can be changed so I'm all for strict moderators.

Even with the fighting here, it always was very very busy and if I didn't want to join in the fighting, I could always read what I needed and only respond to that thread. Now that's not even an option.

Agree this has become a real problem here.

I also have been gone for a few years because of getting a TT but recently have gone back to a P/U and this site is really slow. Hate dealing with Photobucket and there where quite a few rude people here. Hopefully "we can all get along". Life is too short.

Yeah forums dead, popups are dead. I finally got my estimate and total information on my 07 Jayco 1206 that got t-boned back on 7/13/19. Paid $2k for the rat and got $6300 lol. Goodbye camping as a norm with kids in sports now 80 percent of the year.

Yeh, I only visit here rarely anymore. Just had an awesome time in my new Pop Up.

It is definitely not what it used to be. I only get on once or twice a year and rarely post a reply, but will ask a question once now and then. I posted a question today and was amazed to see only one page of new questions and only 5 active pages. I did not quit coming on because of the moderators, very few issues with them. Mostly it was the hostile replies especially to the new members. Why did you not do a search, you are an idiot for asking that question and etc.

When we had our tent trailer they were rather inexpensive and lightweight. Our first weighed only 1000lbs fully loaded. We pulled it with a small Suzuki Samurai which did great. Our 2nd tent trailer weighed 2000lbs fully loaded and was very roomy. Pulled it with ease with small Nissan truck (much smaller than todays Nissan/Toyota trucks).

Todays tent trailers are mostly high sided with all the bells and whistles, weigh considerably more and are priced close to what small hybrids or travel trailers cost.

I tend to think many feel at the weight and cost they might as well buy a hybrid or small trailer.

Like I said in an earlier post, used to have a popup but still like to follow.

That said, I wanted to share my story and I think I have the picture to go with it posted below...I think. We bought this tent trailer in 1988 and had it for 17 years. Last year my youngest daughter told me that they were looking for a tent trailer but couldn't afford much. I went to Craigslist immediately and found our old one! It was December with snow and ice all over. It had been neglected but things were fixable. I brought it home, cleaned and fixed things and finally put new canvas on it as the screens were deteriorated and frankly, not safe for our energetic grandson. Anyway, I hope the picture comes through. I have first dibs on it when she gets ready to sell.

I've been here since 2004.

All things change, and this website is no exception.

(Aftermath) my brother had that same trailer.It looks really clean, did you repaint it or is the paint just in good shape.
