Chuck, that means its a thread that will stay at the top of the forum.  Normal topics will drop down when they don't get replies in a while.  The maintenance manual thread is a sticky so it will stay at the top.

This is a great subject.  The "manual" would be a valuable resource and it is a shame to let it get lost in all of the other posts.  I'm thinking either a "sticky" in the Maintenance Topic or (the suggested) RV 101.
Or, maye better yet, a "subforum" of either of the two - to keep it clearly visable.
 
But, again, it's YOUR forum.....what do you want?

Very good.  I envisioned it a place for Q&A for beginning RVers for questions, answers and discussion of basic RV stuff....how do I do this, what's this for, how does this work (or supposed to work), etc.
 
Another topic idea:  "Techno Camper" or "Gadget Geek" for the plethora of accesories one can puchase or some, even make yourself (such as the lantern stand that Outbound made).  Again, Q&A, what do you think of this, has anybody tried one of these things, etc.  Can I hook up my smart phone to the Television and watch movies and how to do it.  Did you find a cool 12 volt coffee pot?- tell us about it.

This would be something good for the RV 101 sort of topic.  First - to have one and second, what to put in it.  Pet owners might want to consider any special needs of their pets, too.

David, I also like the idea of various topics.  With the expertise of many things on this forum from all of the members, we could all gain a world of knowledge about RVs and camping.  I know there are alot of great chefs out there, I would like to see a topic on outdoor cooking and grilling, to include not only receipts but also the kind of cooking grills that people are using out there, should be very interesting.  Thanks !]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2011 20:31:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1993&PID=18382#18382 OK - it's your turn : David, I like the topic ideas... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1993&PID=18380#18380 Author: Hodge-PODge

David, I like the topic ideas you mentioned:
a) hitching and towing
b) basic stuff for the new pod
 
All the newbies seek that info, and some of us other members need refreshers or reminders, or just need expert advice on hitching and towing.  Good thinking -- another A+ for you!

OK....I see I can't get you all riled up over the afforementioned items, so let's see if I can get you growling and bristling over this!
 
Camping with kids and Camping with pets threads see very little activity.  What would you think about replacing them with something like:
Hitching and towing (we get a lot of posts about this subject)
RV 101 - Basic stuff for the new Pod or TT owner
OR...(your suggestion)

This program has a spell checker (upper left hand icon when writing a reply) but, I'm too stubborn and mule headed to download it.  I usually just sit at the keyboard and slam something out - hoping that it ends up "able to be understood without great difficulty". LOL
 
When I want to do a "good" post - "good" meaning that I want to give the appearence that I am reasonably intelligent and have, at least, a modest command of the english language - I'll usually type it out in MS Word; then cut & paste.

David, I agree, but you are right this is what we have.  One way that I think is easier is if a user already has a picture hosting service (Photobucket, etc), then you only have to put a link in your post here pointing to the picture.  Instead of jumping through hoops to upload it here first.

I really can't add much to what the others have said. In regards to "hogging" you all are the glue that holds this bad boy together. As a new owner I personally want to let you know that between the moderators and a very active participation by the members of the forum, our first few months have been great. This forum and its content have truly enhanced our experience. Even when things have gone wrong there's always a moderator to get the support going and get the membership stimulated. And considering the amount of compensation y'all get, we're getting a pretty good deal for our dues. Now where exactly did you say I was supposed to send that dues check?]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:55:37 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1993&PID=18303#18303
