Not sure where to post this since its mainly for a moderator. Lately I've noticed folks posting Trip Reports in various places here, i.e. Travel Trailers, Fifth Wheels, Roads and Routes, etc. Has anyone though to maybe having a separate forum title called "Trip Report" possibly under Locations?. I, for one, like to read trip reports - they're usually very effective to use if you happen to be planning a trip in the same area as the author of the report. Plus it's fun to read how other folks manage their trips and see pictures of America from a RVer perspective. Anyone else agree? Thanks.....

AgreeI too like to read about other's trip. It gives me some ideas, as well as some do's and don'ts of RVing. What type of camp ground people like and why. Yes I would enjoy reading this..

The only trip reports I see are in TC.

I really agree. I post reports all the time. When boondocking, I post in the boondocking forum. When we are in a national park, I post in the national park forum. I cruise through several different forums looking for other folks' trip reports (especially the TC forum).But really, why should the reports be divided up in that way? It makes more sense to me to have them in a separate TR area. A report is a report, regardless of whether one is in a TC or a trailer. Regardless of whether one is boondocking or in a campground.So I would encourage the moderators to consider this great idea. I know that it would involve some re-programming of the site, which is not easy. That might be a deal killer, given the difficulty of dealing with legacy software.

Agreed. Mine are posted in the "Campgrounds, Parks..." section.

I like this idea!If anyone has not seen them, I highly recommend the enormous, terrifically well-indexed collection of TRs in the TC forum sticky.

Not to belabor something that was meant in jest.....but, please.....United States AMERICANS own the word America.....even if it doesn't belong solely to them.

Jeez, didn't mean for anyone to get their panties in a wad - I'm not stupid and I know what "America" means. I believe there's quite a few folks that RV in Canada, Mexico and possibly further south.

Cough, right back. "America" includes North America (of which Canada is a portion), Central America, and South America. That fact really was brought home to me while on a mission trip to Peru; if we told the Peruvians we were Americans it meant nothing to them, because they considered themselves Americans too. We had to say we were from Los Estados Unidos.

I agree about a new forum section. I submitted a trip report this month and searched to see where people were posting theirs. Most were in Truck Campers! But I had a TT, so I put mine in the TT section... and wondered if anyone in A, C, TC, or tent would ever see it!
