Trouble With RV.net Am I Alone?

[ron_dittmer]

This past week or two or three, on RV.net alone, I constantly get "Service Unavailable". I have to retry several times to get my posts, replies, and corrections loaded, as well as simply viewing the website. It has gotten so bad that I have been avoiding this forum lately. I was hoping it would clear up, but it has gotten worse, absolutely horrible for me this past few days.

Is this my problem alone, or is everyone experiencing the same?

I also abandoned the RV.net address in favour of
http://forums.goodsamclub.com/
All these portals have the same members, topics and posts so you will be right at home when you switch to a less buggy portal.

after many years and frequent performance issues, I finally abandoned RV.NET portal and switched to trailerlife.com (which I had used occasionally, years ago). Much more reliable performance.

Ron ... try coming in all the time through this port and you might not have the problem:

OP Here,

I will try the portal that pnichols and others have been suggesting. I just reset my bookmark to it. Hopefully the inconvenience is history for me.

So Far, So Good. Thanks pnichols!

Me too. I deleted my bookmark, it helped for a while once I added a different bookmark. My guess is more folks reading since they are home more?

A good forum, with good folks participating.....most dealing with very poor service! These problems do prompt one to visit other RV forums that are much more user friendly! memtb

I had the same problem for several weeks also, and as was suggested here, switched to the Trailer Life portal and now no more problems.

Same here. That was my theory.
It's been issuing "service unavailable" for quite a while. Reload page (usually) resolves.

My bookmark is set to RV.net, and I'm too lazy to change it - I just hit refresh
