I was yesterday talking on the telephone to two motor home owners, one (motor Romin aka Rick) and another person ..no names to save any blushes he may have) and it became clear that we talk in about things and often it is clear we do not make ourselves clear or the meaning is lost in a post.
There was Rick and I chatting about things in general and he has like us owned a motor home over many many years. Both our memories stretch back over 20 years of having a vehicle.
The other call was with someone who was new to the motor home life and was clear he does not understand all the issues. He is learning and learning fast. I hope he calls again so we can continue to fill in some of the gaps in the knowledge base he has.
But the interesting thing that came out of the conversation was for example he was not fully aware of what an Aires was of how they worked and how you got tokens for them. As we moved on in our conversation he was having learning pains with various parts of his newly aquired vehicle and that was making his life harder than it needed to be. Of course I directed him to certain suppliers and workshops which may assist him better than I can.
Would it not be nice if (you hear me JIM?) if we had a learning tree that would explain a lot of the simple things about owning a motor home. Things we take for granted having used them for many years.
Now I may be an old hand at motor homing and I have owned more than one yank, but I do lean from others on this site. There is a wealth of information out there. We almost need a book, a bit like the dummy's for computer that will introduce (paper or PDF file) which would answer many of the questions without the need for someone to feel uncomfortable in asking or thinking they are asking to many questions.
For me, I am always happy to talk on the telephone to someone that wants info. It is up to him or her to use it or ignore it. Same as I welcome people asking qestions on the forum.
OK we have our mad half hours, and that makes it good for me, but it is also a informative place and that is the best thing as well as making loads of friends.
So come on pitch in and give your views to the world at large...
