RV.net
I "frequent" three sites: Jayco Owners, Escapees and RV.net...
The last month or so, I am unable to post anything on RV.net; I have emailed them and received a standard reply "we are experiencing difficulties". Anyone else experiencing an issue with them?
Not that I have much to offer (I rarely have an original thought), but, I have learned from lots of mistakes and can share those experiences with others in similar situations...

I haven't been having any issues with rv.net. Maybe your problem will correct itself.
I have had a problem with Escapees (I'm not a member). They have blocked the option on their forum to check for new messages. That link is now covered with a link to join Escapees. I don't frequent that site anymore.

Once I found the Jayco site I rarely ever go over to rv.net - nothing against those guys, but it is really hard to get a good answer without folks bickering.
I say just grab a cold refreshment, a nice comfortable char, and make yourself comfortable right here

I've never had a problem with RV.Net. I check RV.Net every other day or so ever since we had our pup, but prefer this one much more. This one I check everyday. People seem friendlier here.

And you certainly don't want to ask any question over there about towing capacity. The weight police immediately come out from everywhere.

They have been having technical issues on and off for months. But lately I have not had any problems.

I go there once in a while to see what the new issue/fight is about. I like it here and on the Montana owners forum. The members are just nicer here.

I agree that this site is a lot friendlier; here we all have an additional common interest (Jayco). On RV.net, I have actually used the "ignore" button on a knucklehead or two. I do chuckle at some of the weight-police threads.
Escapees has its own flavor too...

I have to agree with others. Visiting here to me is like putting on an old pair of shoes. It just feels good right away.
Keep up the good work all.

I am new to the entire experience of TT and I will say that I started at RV.net but now rarely go to the site. The weight police jumped all over anything I asked. Here, everyone is very friendly and always offering advice. On this site people don't create more problems but give you many solutions that may or may not work. We just bought our trailer and this site has made the experience easier.
Thank You.

I agree much easier to post here. If you want drama over there, just look into threads about Chinese generators, Buying from an internet dealer or local (I`ve gone a few rounds on that never ending debate), Towing with a marginal TV (weight police), Ford 6.0 diesels, WD hitches and who has the best, Walmart camping, firearms in RV`s, Dumping grey water on ground, and so on. Here the most drama I have is trying to keep up with tafische!

I also tried RV.net. Much nicer and less stressed here. I almost feel like I know some of you out there so here is where I will stay. We have a good thing going here.

Please keep up the good work to all involved here.
Recently I posted details of a good experience with DirecTV here and on rv.net. On rv.net the facts as I reported them were attacked implying I didn't know what I discussed with DirecTV. I tried one more time to explain what happened and how positive the experience was. It didn't help, the attacks continued - I really didn't know what I was talking about and what was discussed with DirecTV.
I will admit I lost it and unloaded on the group. The last two words on my post were "good night". Believe it or not, there hasn't been one more post on that thread. Maybe the admin locked it. Either way I got my point across but I do like it here much better.

IMO....
Within some forums (perhaps RV.Net and other large size forums), there's folks who's main mission in life is to circle above and when they don't like something, they purposely "dive down" and attack. They attack, abuse and must be the winner - even when they know they are wrong. Their inner souls are mean spirited, spiteful and they get an inner high feeling from puposely hurting others. They cannot do it physically. Thus, they hurt others emotionally instead. The larger size the forum, the more they love being watched - as they go "in for the kill". These folks were like that as kids. And, they will continue to be like that as adults. Sad to say but true....
I love this specific forum because its smaller in size (compared to others). With smaller size is most often "quality without drama". Quality contents increase because the folks want to help others. As some might say, "the givers - not the takers or the abusers". Hopefully, this forum stays small for many years. IMO, the smaller the size of forum, the higher quality of folks. Folks who simply want to help others - because someone helped them in their past... "Pay it forward in a positve way" thing....

Guess it is kind of like deciding if you want to live in the city or the country....both have merits, but it is a personal choice. I really dont want to say anything bad about rv.net because that is where I first joined as a newbie and got all my info to get started. There are some really good folks over there - so lets just leave it at - it is different.
Thanks Rolly and Healthi for all you do over here to make this enjoyable....and a little fun too!
PS -- What is that supposed to mean?
