I wasn’t sure where to put this, but I wanted to make it known that VTT & Larry’s videos are making a difference! I used to spend quite a bit of time browsing through the vintage camper groups on Facebook, but I recently quit reading through them a couple months ago because I got fed up with the abundence of poor advise that was given. A couple days ago I started browsing through them again just to see what was happening, and FINALLY I’m seeing more & more people saying “You HAVE to start from the outside in, pull the skins, and replace the rotten wood”, “Check out mobiltec’s videos on YouTube...they helped me trendously”, “Check out VTT & vikx’s book”, etc! These sort of responses used to be very few and far between, but they seem to be on the increase!
And I’ve found that the first responses to requests for help seem to set the tone for most of the follow up responses, and the person asking questions appear to be more likely to agree with the earlier replies. Once those early replies set the tone (whether it’s right information or wrong), it’s difficult to shift the momentum the other way.
So vikx, Larry, all of you others that are are posting excellent results of a CORRECT build/restore/repair...you’re making a difference!

I keep on facebook for that reason.. people give terrible advice on there, but when I get a chance I try and point them in the wrong direction.

Well it sort of suits the conversations that happen on Facebook, everyone pointing each other in the wrong direction! Do what you need to do. ☺️

What is this Facebook? Sounds like a fad that will fade away Facebook is where you will find the most hideous lies in the world. Nothing but garbage on FB... I don't even own a cell phone any more. Got tired of it real quick. |
