When someone starts a thread asking for advice or with a question, I see a lot of folks jumping in and changing the subject. A thread might start out with a question on an awning, someone adds a comment about a satelite dish, then somoeone else askes about a favorite camping spot, etc way off the subject.
This is known as hijacking a thread and is considered rude and amatuerish.
Easy to start your very own thread, go to the top and click new and have at it.
It makes it harder to help when there are all kinds of threads running off on tangents that have nothing to do with the original posting, good questions, answers, advice all rolled up together with absolutley nothing.

Good thoughts. Another action that one should try to do is to post the question or comment in the appropriate forum to begin with. You'll get more exposure from it and hopefully more involvement.
Thanks again for your thoughts.

When we had a motorhome, I never would High-jack it to the point that the wheels lifted off the ground.
Seriously, most threads stay on topic for a while and some eventually may wonder off...much like sitting around the campfire with a group and having a good conversation.

Does anyone know what the proper Tuesday air pressure would be for my spare tire. I found the correct Wednesday thru Monday air pressure in the manual but I can't find the Tuesday air pressure? Did someone say Marshmellows?

This is one of the most entertaining threads I've seen on this great site yet! Nice to know that Winne (or any RV) owners have great senses of humor! Let's face it, we all need a sense of humor at times per dealing with RV's...
And for marshmallows: does anyone know what happened to the 50's treat (my favorite!), Carmallows (all wrapped in waxed paper with the marshmallow center and carmel coating)??

All is not lost.
Many of our old favorites are still available HERE.
They even have one of my old favorites, Mint Juleps at 10 cents each.
50 years ago they were 2 for a penny.
Sigh.

In cleaning out my car I found a gas receipt from 1999, regular gas was $1.29 per gallon.
