I have a friend that has a political debate site and I am a moderator there and he is going to give me the software free of charge and it look great as the software that FTE uses..

Now I am building a server that will handle it

You are placing a lot of confidence in someone who has not been RVIA certified or even achieved a journeyman status at this.

I have ONE YEAR of experience.

Well you know your stuff and that is a great part that will make the site fly...

I'd like to see a "PLACE" where an RV owner has alternatives - because so much of the RV specific stuff is crap.

Can we explore materials for repair that might work better? Look at "Other Options"?

Get reports of what other people tried or modified?

- That would be in the true spirit of RV living, wouldn't it?

FEEDBACK from people on the road!

I expect most Coach owners have a clear idea of what worked - and what SUCKED!

What fixes what?

How many times did they go around and around, for a simple fix?

We can explain how to fix it, yeah.

We can't turn the screws or skip steps and come back and ask why though.

A lot of ground to cover.....

It will be a large site.

I can contribute, but I need to go to work in the morning. In the final analysis - I can DO FTE, I may DO THAT, but don't expect me to form it.

I can contribute. I don't think I can make it an occupation. You're talking grass roots - and I need a paycheck better than I have now to convince me. Possibly on a "BY ARTICLE" commission it could work, dunno.

Or just for the pure shear "FOR THE HELL OF IT"....

I just don't know

Not to do it right....

You see, the "FLAT RATE" is set at the factory. Tearing everything apart to get at what is wrong is another story.

We don't have it laid out right in front of us - we have to take things apart to get to that place. Sometimes it's tuff.

I replaced a refrigerator yesterday. it was 24 inches on a side (square).

The entry door was twenty...

We had to take out the dining room window and remove it through THAT, and the new one be inserted the same way.

Give you an idea?

What JACKASS designed an appliance that won't fit through the door?

But they did, all of them are like that.


It's part of the job.

You want another SHOCK? FlAT RATE to remove and install a window!

Here is how I think the site could make a little money and that is to get venders

I think I want to hold back for now.

I have enough going on in my face at this point, a lot of change, and crap going on.

The last thing I need before getting stable is another risk venture, and I am FTE all the way.
