This used to be a really active group, with lots of people posting daily.. where have they all gone? In addition, I answered a post here with what I thought was useful information, only to never recieve an acknowledgement. Where have all the good people gone?

Unfortunately this group has just petered out over the past 2 years or so. I actually no longer own a camper, but still monitor this group and occasionally give my opinion on questions. -- >> This used to be a really active group, with lots of people posting >> daily.. where have they all gone?

Yes it used to be busy with lots of info. Unfortunately I only use my PU 2 times a year now. Used to take 2 neighbor kids camping often but they are all grown up now so I don't have much need for the PU buts it all paid for so its costing me nothing to keep it. I have asked a few questions of the group and have received several good answers from the more experienced PU'ers. Hope we can get it back to normal here..... I guess we all need to throw in our 2 cents and make comments here. I use my PU for ham radio field day week-end and 10 days camping in the Poconos. Used to keep mine in indoor storage place for $17 a month but they went out of business so its back in the driveway now. Have been checking other storage places but they want $50 - 75 a month to store it out of the weather. How do you all store yours?

When it was my camper, I stored it in one bay of my three-car garage, up on blocks to spare the wheel bearings. We used to camp as a family (started with tents, with 6 kids!!) but did less and less camping as the kids got older :-(. Now the old PU gets lots of use in Maine...at least half of the weekends of the summer! I am so happy that it is still in use by devotees! Y -- > How do you all store yours? For the last few years, I've had mine in an unused dairy barn about 3 miles away. Only $160/yr and I store it there all year. But, now I have to find a new place, as this deal ends next spring. -Brian I think the biggest reason is that Usenet itself is waning... A number of ISP's don't even carry newsgroups at all any more, so if you're not a die-hard fan and find a server, and know how to use the program, etc... It's a pretty safe bet that Usenet isn't getting many (if any) new users these days. Anyway...reason #2 is that someone needs to post a message and start stirring things up. You know, just like you did! I've got a nice 1983 19' travel trailer up for sale if someone is looking to move up from a pop-up. ;-) Wesley > This used to be a really active group, with lots of people posting daily.. > where have they all gone?
