We’re at the same place in snowbirding.
Sold our down south 5ver last spring prior to heading north with our 28ft 5ver. After eight weeks on the road, a tornado where we heard the train, two flat tires in one day. A cancelled AAA service call requiring me to drive 50 miles while the rig was on the shoulder of the toll road too get a tire since the spare was on the rig. Mounting the tire on the driver side while knuckleheads past within 18 inches of me doing 70 to 80 mph.
That was all prior to a blown brake line requiring a double knuckle tow off the highway, an overnight hotel stay then telling the tech how to fix it without taking the whole cab off the truck. At that point I figured I had enough “fun” during the last 10 years of mobile RV snowbirding. I’m sure all the old expert snowbirds will say “been there, done that.”
Might return to RVing, but trying other options right now. When I see a post that I see I might affect a more positive experience for someone newer then I’ll make an attempt. Or when I see someone posting BS based on limited traveling experiences thinking one area fits all.
Current snowbirds have much more user friendly and technically efficient options at their disposal. No need to relive the road atlas/good Sam book heydays of now aging bingo playing park model/condo owners. That’s why I think you’re seeing a decline in old school forums that require picture servers and cut and paste backdoor HTML logic.
