Recent increase in trolls/robotic postings
elkhartjim replied to richard5933's topic in Forum Support
I think that is a wise choice since they aren't willing to use more moderators. iRV2 has at least a dozen admins and mod's, all volunteers, but the big thing they use is a report button on every post. With that button, every member becomes a jr moderator and by reporting posts the mods can then react quickly to delete and ban the poster. I know there is a report button on this forum but I've reported numerous posts and it is either never or several hours before its taken down. It sad to think a forum of this size is administered by 2 people and one of those has a full time job. You need at least 8 with 2 in each time zone. With all that being said, I'll miss some of the posters since I chose sometime ago to not renew my membership. Honestly - there are none of the benefits I see beneficial other than the Medi Evac and like lots of insurance, I choose to self insure. Good luck guys and gals, see ya down the road. -
Herman, He probably meant Willow Park which is between Fort Worth and Weatherford. The biggest difference I see in Spartan and FTL is the difference in the number of dealers. It seems to me there are many more FTL dealers and I understand most FTL dealers work on Spartan. It would most likely only be an issue for warranty work. All of the newer Dutch Stars are side radiator which is a huge maintenance benefit but you do loose the outside storage bay.

Did they reopen the Canadian border? -
Does anyone know what happened to Tom? Sorry for hijacking a 12 year old thread.

Actually, thats where I would have started rather than on this forum. The OP may find out none are allowed.

I'm still trying to figure out how one can write out H2O, water?

As my post read, "no error codes". Yes it has a lifetime warranty but I need the original receipt and thats going to be fun finding the receipt. I can't remember where I bought it.

I unplugged from my portable Progressive EMS and plugged direct to the pedestal and all works well. No error code on the Progressive EMS. I had a similar problem about 6 months ago. I had a bad blade on the male shore connector or so I thought. It would work fine if plugged into the pedestal but not if plugged into the Progessive. I changed the male plug and its worked until now. When I unplugged the cord from the Progressive, I noticed one of the blades was bent so I'm wondering if the Progressive has a bad female plug. 120VAC on L 1 & 2 verified with EMS and VOM. Like

I've been losing shore power on and off today. I start my genset and use until the power is restored. The last time it would not switch back to 50 amp shore power. Everything works as it should on genset power but when I turned the genset off, it goes to inverter rather than shore. The inverter seems to be working fine. Could it be the transfer switch? Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

The state parks in Texas have handicap specific sites. Newmar has a HC floor plan and its my understanding when a used one hits RVTrader , its gone almost immediately. -

Help me out, Herman. How is discussing upgrading the FMCA software a political discussion; unless you're referring to the FMCA internal politics, which I have no knowledge of or interest in discussing. -

First rule of business, if you don't have the financial and manpower wherewithal, you don't undertake projects like this. One has to wonder what the benefit of this new upgrade is and can it be financially justified. -

Just out of curiosity, what are we supposed to start praising? -

elkhartjim replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
As I read it the software upgrade to be done was the software running the "corporate" side of the business and the forum software wouldn't be involved. I guess I can't expect too much from a IT group that takes several weeks to upgrade a package. I wonder how they are managing their accounts receivable and payables not to mention payroll during the time their systems are inoperable. It may be Big Chief tablets and #2 pencils time. -

I agree, Wayne. Corporate America upgrades, revises and changes software systems regularly and most users never realize it. Usually this takes place over a weekend. Ross, if they have 3 IT staffers and they can't complete a change over in a few days, they need a different 3. Having beta users test the new system would cost nothing so that shoots the financial reason out the window. -

We're in the Gunnison National Forest area where I took this photo at Lost Lake yesterday. The aspens are really showing their color. -
I had the exact same issue with my 2008 Fleetwood. Freightliner sent me a new wiring harness that I installed and never had another issue. Call the 24/7 help desk and explain your problem. It was a none issue during those years. Good luck.

Pertaining to Buc'ee's allowing RV'ers, all the locations have signs at each entrance "no trucks". According to management, this is t stop the 18 wheelers from using them as rest stops. I've used the following Buc'ee's for fuel with no problems: Bastrop, New Braunfels, Katy, Texas City, Luling, Waller, Wharton, Madisonville, and Richmond. The store in Luling is too small and always very crowded.
