Fellow rv.net forum member in the site next to us

There are a number of members I'd like to meet or camp next to. I'd even settle to see pics of some of the people I've gotten to know on the forum. Lots of good folks here.

How do you determine if someone is a rv.net forum member? I haven't seen anything on RV's that would indicated that they are a forum member.

To catch a fish, you have to have bait. You put a sign by the front of your RV....I am a RV.net member, let me know if you are?

Might work?

Once upon a time, the owners of the Open Roads Forum provided stickers that could be displayed, they looked like this.

The stickers were hot item and a fairly expensive proposition, since they were mailed out upon request. After several printings, that didn't last long, they were no longer available. RVSnowbird, a now deceased moderator, provided the above image for any who wanted to print their own.

Simply get to know your neighbors when RV'ing/camping and mention rv.net forum and they will tell you If they are members also and you exchange the forum names you go under. Some will have their rv.net forum name on their RV unit. We do on one of our RV's and our first names and our dog's name on 2 of them and have a map of where we live. Works wonders to break the ice and start a conversation going in most areas of the USA and Canada.

We are very outgoing and friendly, will greet, and talk to nearly all our RV neighbors when traveling or RV'ing. Have gained scores of long time friends over the years doing so. Have even met up with many on various trips and/or have RV'ed together with several to various places or gone to each others homes or towns and give local tours etc. Have remained good friends with several for over 30 years now.

Hide in your RV and you'll hardly ever meet your neighbors!

I am one of those guy's that likes to walk around the CG several times a day. If someone is outside, I speak. This often leads into a few minutes of conversation. Like where are you from, where are you heading next, I think I saw you at my last stop, etc. In this manner I have made friends with more people than I can count. We often exchange calling cards. I have shared many times that I am rv.net forum member and have never in my 13 years of fulltime and 16 years being a forum member met another that has stated that they were members. I may be staying in the wrong places. :B
I have my forum screen name "rv2go" as my vehicle license on my motorhome. As most CG's I visit are back in, I guess I should put it on the front next to my FMCA and WIT numbers.

Their nickname.....Come to think about it, everyone we camp with is a RV Dot netter, holy cow!!!!!

I think a simple sheet of paper with your screen name above RV.NET, placed in your front window would get the message out.

Sure do miss RVSnowbird. He was one REAL nice RV'er and fellow forum member. :C

I've never met another fellow RV.net poster, but I've seen a few rigs (namely Diesel Pusher - truck combos) that I recognized from some members signature pictures and such, namely last summer at Normandy Farms I saw one guy who has a King Aire with a blue F150 FX4 in tow.
