I was searching around today and found a newsgroups called
"REC.OUTDOORS.RV-TRAV" Notice no "el" on the end. Not many posts, but I was
trying to figure out why the new news group with such a similar name.

Monday, good friends of ours left the Chapter 6 rally at Centreville,
MI, headed for Monroe, Michigan and serious surgery for Carole.
A little History. These folks have been fighting the battle of their
lives for the past 3 years. Carole had breast cancer, and completed

No, this isn't off topic folks. I just Googled back to
'95-'96 in the rec.outdoor.rv-travel newsgroup. Didn't find
any political crap. Did find many current posters and they
all, including me and Will Sill, were civil. I'd like to

Hi gang,
Does anyone know if Baton Rouge campgrounds have power and spaces?
Does anyone here have a driveway open, with 30 amp service?
I'm headed there before Pensacola, they are in a mess with the horses

I saw one of those ultra large International pickups about 15 minutes ago.

Buccaneer State Park sustained surprisingly little damage considering it was
RIGHT on the beach.  It appears the wave missed that section and the only
damage is wind. (qualification views from on high are deceptive -- I'll post

tailgate.
Who is to blame?  The truck manufacturer, or the camper maker?

Hi Gang,
Yesterday I went south on 71 past Bastrop TX.  Somewhere along the way
I noticed a campground and in it was something I haven't seen before.
I'm not sure if it was a truck camper, like a Lance, or a Class C. I

Hi. I am a newbie about to buy my first RV. I'm seriously looking at a
used 2002 Sunseeker 31' Class C coach. Wonder what the thoughts are for
any Sunseeker owners out there. Anything to REALLY watch for?  It has
only 7,500 miles on it.
