Forum Discussion
When I’m looking for information on truck camping, I want everything in one place—whether it's about the truck, the camper, or how they work together. I don’t want to search through separate categories for tow vehicles or hunt for someone talking about their setup for a truck camper.
Similarly, when I go to a Class C forum, I expect everything related to Class C motorhomes to be there. I shouldn’t have to check the tow vehicle section just because someone thinks the engine belongs in one category and the body in another.
There’s so much information out there on different tow vehicles that it doesn’t make sense to lump them all under one label. Keeping things simple and organized by type would be a lot more useful.
Of course that could be one reason why this forum is getting less and less use.
But again just my opinion.
Couldn't say it better myself. I basically come here for truck camper information. I expect to see TC stuff posted by TCers here, if it's moved, I will miss the post that was intended for TCers, by TCers.
The powers that be have other thinking and it's their forum so.....

Jeff, I have to humbly say that non of the posts you have made, that have been moved, are for truck campers. they are for some one who owns a old ford truck and wants to fix it when they are having issues, which is better served in the truck section. besides you got way more views in a shorter time there so your youtube should have beeter stats also.
the campground ones, post a picture or two of your camper in it or write how it is to do with campers and yes it should be here. but just pictures of you and the wife in a resturant or at a lake with out any reference to truck campers is a regional or campground 101 type of post. I realy enjoyed your camoer rebuild series, but when I come to look at camer stuff what do I care if some one is trying to keep a truck engine alive 20 years after I got rid of the same truck and moved on to a way beter model, yes there will be some people with a old truck like that in the camoer section but there will be a heck of a lot more people using something like that to tow.

I see the post as, for somebody who owns a truck camper and has a similar truck which covers about a 10 year production run to mine, so there are plenty of relic trucks out there being used by frugal campers like myself. This truck is well maintained and although it may be old, it has so many new parts, it drives like a newer truck. The only thing left to do that hasn't been done, is to replace the transmission. No indication it needs replacing.
If you want to move the post, it doesn't bother me so long as the people who know me on this forum, truck campers, have seen the post before being moved to another forum section where it will never occur to them to look, and so my target viewer will never see. Everything I post is posted from the perspective of a truck camper user trying to share what has been learned to the benefit of other like minded adventurers.
