While sharing stuff is nice, the real value is the ability to keep a far flung community in touch, and to share GMC specific experience and knowledge. Its like having next door neighbors with GMCs. While distance makes helping with the wrenches impractical, the advice is priceless.

This is what drew me in to the GMC, the idea that there is a community to help you along. Technical knowledge, the black list, specialty vendors to sell replacement parts that fix original shortcomings - These things keep buying a 40 year old motorhome from being absolute evidence of mental instability.

Or, why you shouldn't tee people off....
I had noted I broke my turn signal lever.  In the mail shortly thereafter, (after a confirming phone call) came a replacement presumably from a coach which was fitted with a new crusie control.  At any rate, most thoughtful... and as soon as he provides me with the value and shipping costs I'll send him a check. <hint>.
It behooves us to not alienate folks who help us out.  They certainly don't have to, nor do they have to withstand the background noise when it becomes overbearing.
