This forum was extremely helpful when we bought our first trailer...had tons of questions on towing, hitches, and everything RV-related. We used to have some lively characters here on the forum that would argue about anything at the drop of a hat.
I went through the cycle of learning and then sharing what I learned with the noobs coming up behind me, but like everyone else got turned off by the aggressive moderating. Tech Issues and Tow Vehicles are still great places to have a good conversation, got loads of good advice when I bought this truck in May.
General RVing and Around the Campfire may as well be deleted as far as I am concerned, they are so over-moderated that the only thing people argue about is the moderation. Would be better off un-moderated with a disclaimer on the main page of "what you see may offend you."
After a many-year hiatus, I am active here once again as I try to learn all the ins/outs about Truck Campers, and I am thankful for all the guys that took time to help me. I see several guys are currently involved in, or have already undertaken restoration projects, and sharing info is a huge timesaver.
One BIG service to the members that Camping World REFUSES to add is a classifieds section. You wanna hear some real crickets, head over to
the irv2 forum...zzzzz......
