Jayco/Thor Forum?

Any planned changes to this forum now that Jayco is part of the Thor family? Lots of others are probably part of that group. We saw a very nice Redwood camper at the Tampa RV show. They are Thor also.

When we purchased our current SOB, a Thor product, I quickly joined a Forum for that particular brand. Compared to this GREAT Forum it is basically dead. Very little chatter and, it seems to me, not nearly as friendly. Perhaps it is just because my heart is still with Jayco.I appreciate all the tips and friendly advice on this Forum. I am a firm beliver in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Thanks to everyone here for allowing me to remain part of this wonderful Jayco Family.

Good question, but I personally don't see any reason for any changes due to the Thor purchase since JOF is primary an RV brand specific owners forum....., and not directly sponsored by Jayco (or Thor).

Our last RV, a Keystone Premier, is part of the Thor family. We belonged to the Keystone forum, which was HUGE. Now we have a Jayco, and this is our forum. This forum would be so large if Thor products were included that it would be impossible to navigate.

If all Thor products were included the Jayco brand would be swallowed up in a large, impersonal mega forum IMO.

Thor brands include;
Airstream
Bison Coach
Breckenridge
CrossRoads RV
Cruiser RV
Dutchmen RV
DRV
Entegra
Heartland RV
Jayco, Inc
Keystone RV
KZ RV
Livin Lite RV
Redwood RV
Thor Motor Coach

Sort of like www.IRV2.com which is a great set of forums (owned by the same as JOF) but somewhat impersonal and not brand specific.

*We were members for 10 years.

Almost like the Forest River Owners forum......

Not to mention excessively moderated.

The way companies are swallowed up, there wouldn't be a distinction between them. No need to change the forum.

I have a Jeep Wrangler, and belong to a forum in that name. Nothing changed when, Chrysler, Daimler, etc. bought them up. Its still a "Jeep" forum, not a Fiat forum.
