Suggestion on Posting

I'd like to suggest that we post individual topics in Tech or Discussions rather than the general Fire Ring What Did You Do to Your Coach topic. It's gets to be kind of a jumble over there and it's not conducive to searches. Thanks.

Good idea.  That will make searching for a topic in the future a LOT more rewarding.

Thanks Jor.  That topic series was originally started (7 years ago) as a fun topic for minor things (hey, I washed my coach today  ;) )

Moderators and facilitators do try to split things out when there's more than one post on something useful, but your recommendation to start a new topic is spot on as is Brett's reminder that it makes the search function much more useful ^.^d

I like to look ar specific u280 tech..

I put 95 u280: issue I have

If we did this searches would be more meaningful.. it would list all folks who had that specific issue.

I just search the issue and "entire Forum" there is a lot of information on coaches that are not my year or model that I find useful. Don "accusticart" for example had the tail light conversion I am using on his model coach but is universal to many different years and models.

For those who are newer and haven't seen this neat feature discussed before, if you want to start a new topic that's inspired by a comment in another one

Hover over "More" at the bottom right of the post in question and click "New Topic".

This starts a new topic and quotes the entire "inspiration" post.  Edit the quote down to just the part you want to discuss. 

Make sure you give the topic a new title. 

Give the topic the proper destination board (say you're taking a post from Fire Ring that's Foretravel technical, you'd want the new topic to be in Tech Talk)

As one of the "usual suspects", I forget that feature, thanks for the reminder!  ^.^d
