Why is there not more?

Pretty much what everyone else has said, is the reason more people aren't on here. It's not widely advertised. I only stumbled across this site in a google search. The forum thing is not for most people...

As far as media goes, for younger people *cough*, "forum posting" is somewhat passe and low on the social interaction scale. This particular forum format here is pretty antiquated in comparison to say the VBulletin type format. I understand for reasons of bandwidth, they have to keep it simple. YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter etc., are just more popular to use and rightly so. Nowadays, people want to see what you're talking about. They don't want to sift through hundreds of written postings. That's likely why we see the same questions come up over and over again. Not just about RVing, but across many forums.

Prior to a couple years ago I had no idea this website existed. When the wife and I were in the "what to get?" and "new or used?" stage, we happened upon Sean Michaels 'Long, Long, Honeymoon' and 'The RV Geeks' YouTube pages. Sean was advertising RV.NET. Came here, looked around, started reading, and decided on a TC.

THEN came the daunting task of narrowing it down and selecting one. That wore me out almost to the point of giving up. Maybe that's part of it? There's inherently more to consider than just hitching up and driving off with a TC vs. a TT. I'd be willing to bet, a lot of folks just lurk a little, get some basic info., and either decide against a TC or they go buy one with limited info. Unfortunately, those people also tend to learn the hard way by not properly researching their truck/camper combo and eventually have problems. Okay, I'm starting to ramble on and on......Maybe I should just go make a video about it. LoL :B
