"How can you tell if a fellow forum member is a real RV'er or NOT?"
Well, if someone gives information and it makes logical sense, then it's good information. If it seems odd, doesn't sound right, or quite obvious just wrong, then it's ignored.
How many RV salesman sell RVs from respective RV dealerships who have never spend a single night inside one of the camper they are trying to sell?
How many RV repair shops attempt to fix RV problems and have no clue what they are doing either?
It happens. It just happens. We all have to just use our own common sense to not be taken in by bogus "wana-be's".
Folks new to RVing, who have never owned one... well, I've learned from this and other multiple forums, that newbies to RVing, especially first time RVers WILL NOT listen to even the soundest of advise from those of us who that lived through it! The only way they can learn is to make their own mistakes. After a while, we have no choice but to give up with these bull headed people who feel they know everything so much better, and let them sink in their own muck. They eventually learn too. But they pay a price. We really can't help those type of people.
