Michelle - as  "newer" members let me add our hearty thanks and Happy Birthday.  As we hunt for "our" FT the site has been a textbook of knowledge and comradery.  And as I count the days to retirement a welcome respite from the "how much longer till we get there" ringing in my head from childhood! :D

Michelle and Steve,
It has been a short time for me on this forum, but a valuable one.  The knowledge shared is irreplaceable.  It is through this site that we can all accomplish so much on our coaches.  Thank you for all of the invested time and hard work to keep this forum going. It isn't easy, but worth it!  It is so much appreciated.

I remember the transition well, the discussions getting this forum started (& naming it) and in particular, the angst transitioning from Yahoo.  From the beginning, the Foreforums was superior, all hands down and it's only gotten better. 

Good work, Steve & Michelle and thank you for creating it!  ^.^d

I too remember the days that the Forum was in transition from Yahoo to FOREFORUMS, lots of discussion and many many opinions on whether it would work out. Obviously It has, I wonder how many Forums there are that last this long and are still informative and useful.
Thanks again to Steve and Michelle, even tho I no longer have a FT or am able to travel I still enjoy reading the information passed here, and look forward to at least another 7 years.

Thanks Michelle.  This forum actually convinced me to buy a FT.  I knew with this resource I'd stand a good chance of a win when considering an older coach. The camaraderie, wisdom and fun members are just awesome.

Thanks for everything!

As a fairly new FT owner I can say this forum has been a godsend for me. I owe the administrators and everyone who posts here a huge debt of gratitude.

Oh, and along with all of the expert technical advice and "been there, done that"  posts I even enjoy the opinion/editorial commentsâ˜ș

Thank you Michelle and Steve!

As a owner of a sob that reads this forum often you have a great asset here. I wish their was something like this for Country Coach owners. Some useless info on Amazon if you invested 1k on 5/15/1997 you would have $638,000.00 today.

I spent 1.5 years on the Yahoo Foretravel Forum which resulted in the purchase of my 96 U320 in April of 2010 from MOT.
One month later came the transition from Yahoo to FOREFORUMS, a very uncomfortable transition for me.
Today, I find great value in this forum and feel indebted to both Michelle and Steve for all the work that they do to keep it running smoothly!
Thank you Michelle and Steve.

I would also like to acknowledge Barry, from BeamAlarm for his technical resource library.

Amen!
 
However, lately I have not been able to print from the various pages I find in my research. All I get now is a single blank page.
 
I am sure I used to be able to print them. Anybody know how to print pages on his site?

Always a possibility, at least the format/function.  This was created from the old Yahoo Group as was Diesel RV Club, an FMCA Chapter and the new Lazy Daze Owners' Forum forum
