I agree.
I don't have a camper but who knows .... maybe someday (sigh).
Many times, when searching the archives, I find the right questions but
no answers. I can only assume that those questions were answered
directly via p-mail.
I have received, via p-mail, really great answers to questions that I've
asked. Too bad that others, searching the archives, will be denied the
benefit of that information.
