Thank you Funsters for being you! (1 Viewer)

[Hettie's Crew]

The amount of help and knowledge gained from this site is immeasurable. Technical, practical, money saving, what ever. No one claims to be 'the expert', there is an open accepting friendly attitude to all views and people who do put technical items on do so from experience of having done it, demonstrating they know what they are talking about. We've gained information on all manner of subjects related to motor homing without ever being made to feel stupid or ignored.
We now contribute to the advice having gained experience on several technical issues and always feel listened to and appreciated.
The reason I'm writing this is that I just tried to offer advice on a different forum, which I won't do again, and was met with ignorance of the technical issue, dismissal and an overall sense of clique, with one particular person who clearly knows little of the subject setting himself up as 'the man that knows' and a couple of others supporting him. It concerned me that members of that forum will listen to this person because he 'says' he knows what he is talking about rather than demonstrating it. I think this is a problem with smaller one make clubs/forums.
Motorhome Fun, is in our opinion by far the best forum going and I think it's down to the eclectic membership, all makes, all price ranges, full timers to rarely used. Life long to just starting out.
Thank you!

What a lovely post. Put a smile of delight on my face. And you are right.

 

[Jim]

Yes Funsters make this a lovely place to spend time, to learn and laugh and play.

Mirrors my experience on here as well.
(But my doctor advised me to steer clear of threads on Brexit or Scottish Independence )

 

[Silver-Fox]

@Hettie's Crew creep all you like you won't get a discount on your subs from @Jim I'm sure

Many have tried and failed











To be fair your post is spot on

 

[Wombles]

When we try to explain to others what is so good about being a member & part of this forum we call it "the spirit of Fun" - bit cheesy but it's about members helping each other & enjoying life

Well, we're coming up to 6 months MH ownership now and when I say " I've been on the forum and.................." my friends eyes glaze over.

Luckliy mine don't and I can only echo the OP's sentiments.

We've made loads of mistakes already but I dread to think how many more we would have made without my visits to the Fun factory.

 

[PP Bear]

What, what......you mean there are other forums outside the Funster Shire

Don't stray as there are nasties out there waiting to get us, better off staying put as there's always talk of ale, sunshine and the occasional bad jokes too

 

[mart]

No doubt that this is the best site , learning from everyone's experience, the technical advised has been invaluable , the places and sites to visit, and sometimes there has been a joke

I learn a little most days but it makes me smile everyday.

 

[Anthea M]

Lovely post and the funster ‘family’ is the best! Always there if needed for help, advice , banter and friendship!

 

[yodeli]

@Hettie's Crew OI ..... I beg your pardon.... I claim to be an expert ... You just don't know my main subject .... yet !!!

Always amazes me how many motorhomers are not on here, when in the forums it would make you think everyone with any sort of camper is on here, but when you get out and about it hits you we are a very slight minority and very rarely meet another funster but saying that we have met about half a dozen on our last trip over the water.

 

[graemegoingsouth]

What a great thread!. I'm reading here to get enough knowledge when we get our first MoHo to
ensure we are on the right track.
Thank you all for your input.

We're all brilliant on here ( including you)
I bet there's not one thing in life that you need to know,that you can't find out on here!!

From money, law, business, travel, fashion, to whatever else you may need!! I do believe there's even a magician on here!!

For the sum of £15.00 the help you get is rediculous!!! Better value for money than being in the Freemasons! Lol xxx ( and lighter to carry than the encyclopaedia brittanica!)

SWMBO misquotes that statement from Diana, Princess of Wales;
"There are three people in our Marriage, Me, you, and Motorhome Fun"

Don't think she could use it in divorce proceedings But???

 

[WynandJean]

I really believe that all of the above is true and it is all down to the astute 'management' of Jim. It's almost imperceptible but when needed he steps in to sort out any situation without being heavy-handed. Funsters know that they are fine as long as they stay within the (fair) guidelines and the whole ethos is positive and for our mutual benefit. Pity the whole world couldn't run this way.

Wonder who will build the cabinet

Certainly not someone as politically incorrect as me !!!! Perhaps a cabinet maker? Lol

[rosalan]

I would love to be in the Cabinet. We keep the drinks in there.

 

[Chris]

Jim for Prime Minister then!

That would be a gas wouldn’t it?

The Fun Party.

I reckon we would have some weird policies.

Alcohol tax would be £0

 

[Minxy]

Wonder who will build the cabinet

Why @Terry of course to keep him out of mischief!

[Deleted member 29692]

I do believe there's even a magician on here!!

I’d be careful about taking advice from him though.

He thinks Fray Bentos pies are food

Ah, but being a magician @JJ probably turns them into some sort of food before scoffing them ... he just chooses not to let use lot into the secret of how to do it that way we don't buy them which means he get to buy them at massively discounted prices when they sell off their excess stock!

 

[On the road again]

Wouldn't that be good!!

We could all be in the cabinet!!!

Things would change overnight!!! Lolol.

There would be endless discussions as to-

where is the best place to put a cabinet
what hinges to use
side opening or raised door
which locks to use
what to keep in the cabinet
how best to secure items in the cabinet
how such items will affect the payload
how to prevent damp in the cabinet
what to leave in the cabinet in winter etc etc etc.

then there'd be splinter groups forming as the cabinet, designed by committee, broke up.
