Several members have pm'd about http://gmcmotorhomesforsale.com/ --it was out for a total rebuild. It's now back online, but with big changes.
It's not intuitive at first glance, and I haven't yet written an instruction page, but the home page now keeps a rolling roster of US States which have CL ads, grouped by the date they were posted. Clicking the state will show another rolling roster (newest at the top, oldest age out and are deleted from the bottom) of the individual ads posted in that state's CL. These now link directly to the corresponding CL ad.
The new system is built to speed the editorial review process while tackling the significant spam problem caused by overzealous GMC sellers.

I like it RC. The only suggestion I have would be to change the sort to state by date rather than date by state. Folks that are looking every day will know which one's they've looked at before and folks just starting won't have to keep scrolling through the whole country every day.

>change the sort to state by date
I'll see if I can set that up as an option. I also plan to have a "national view" page that shows every CL ad at once. (This is more for blue-sky lookers because the majority of looking is done regionally, but it's fun.)
Here's a cheat for those who want to watch a specific state; a state's page is always directly accessible via url, so just bookmark that. The syntax, using North Carolina as an example, would be
http://gmcmotorhomesforsale.com/forsale/NC/
A state's page is available even if there are no CL ads within the last month, it's just blank
http://gmcmotorhomesforsale.com/forsale/WY/
FWIW, there are 84 'good' ads nationally now. 'Good' = most duplicates & false positives (usually class c GMCs) removed.

Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to strip the site down to bare bones while I tinker.
