Re: Truck Camper University Sticky?
Older thread but thats how often I log in now... TCU thread still here but majority of the links are broken. M/C's S&S thread also but most of the older pics are gone? Recall him building the cribbing to support nose. Related Content panel shows links to other of his threads. https://community.goodsam.com/discussions/truckcampergroupforum-board/truck-camper-university-projectsrepairsreplacements--tips/270921Re: Truck Camper Dually Jack Stabilizer Brace
Good job! Been a few months since I logged in. Wobble stoppers, whether purchased or made offer unbelievable stability to camper. I did this back in 2013, primarily for raising and lowering caper. But when off loaded camper doesn't weave. Torklift makes some but at $400 out my range plus I also wanted side to side along with front to back. I have swing out brackets, so does require disengaging. Front to back braces swing up and stored on legs, side to side swing in stored on camper front wall when on truck. It might take 5 minuets to deploy but well worth it. Tons of threads on adding these, search wobble stoppers ( but in the travel trailer group where most of the truck camper content got moved )Re: Truck camper University subject matter posts will not come up.
Few issues..when forum moved to this new format everything was merged under the travel trailer group, all the links broken. IE the original TCU thread was http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/25966285.cfm With forum change it became https://community.goodsam.com/t5/travel-trailer-group/truck-camper-university-projects-repairs-replacements-tips/m-p/270921 Llink has been updated, moved to truck camper group now resides https://community.goodsam.com/t5/truck-camper-group/truck-camper-university-projects-repairs-replacements-tips/m-p/270921 However most of the content is still in travel trailer group and as noted most links don't follow to new address. Some of the TCU links do work and will open original topic but again they are under travel trailer group. While updating the links wouldn't be that large of task, issues arise as the content is moved from travel trailer to truck camper group. (unless links will auto forward to new directory). Main issue is editing... topics no longer stay open to edit. I briefly looked at updating but... Same with the trip reports thread. For the moment if link in TCU doesn't open thread your interested in, you can search using threads title... bottom line IMO is RV.net is more broken than it was. Years of accumulated info very difficult to find. At this point in time I'm unsure, with the numbers of members active since the forum change, if its worthwhile to make the effort. Second though I know folks used the resource members stopped contributing 2-3 years ago. That and DIY / problem solving doesnt seem to be as prevalent as it once was. I havent totally given up on the forum yet but logging in mostly reinforces what we lost. I havent been enjoying the new forum software, even a little, just a struggle. Keep thinking it will become comfortable...still waitingRe: Sorting by newest post? Truck camper restoration?
Ahhh-yes. Hadn't looked but new response to older post puts back on the 'recent' list. Rv net was also like that. I guess because there are so few actual new posts (verse replies to older posts) that I assumed it wasnt sorting-my error. That and the way topics are displayed. As far as moving content-nothing particular, just when scrolling back in TC forum just not a lot of content or jumps several years. Would be nice if the topics page for given 'group' displayed title, date and last reply date instead of including first few lines of post (or the option). Just takes to much space. but... still trying to get comfortable with the new forum....Thanks
