If you have noticed a lot of the owners forums have the folks that participate with a title under their screen name such as Winnebago Owners Forum or Fleetwood Owners Forum.

A lot of the older RVs are now orphans and do not have an active manufacturer. Would you be opposed to having a Karma Title Such as "Vintage RV Owner" added by your request. I know, for one, that I would like to have the "Vintage RV Owner" added to my name.

We could so far as the brand such as "Vintage RV Owner-Silver Streak" or "Vintage Silver Streak Owner".

An RV would have to be at least 20 years old to be classified as Vintage.

Let me know your thoughts.

Ken

I don't think it will let you vote twice. It goes by the log in name.

I voted for Vintage title. There's probably too many obsure manufatures to be able to cover them all.

no you can't vote twice. The vote is made by screen name. Vintage owner would be easier i think. But brand name would be neat!! Whichever works!! Dan

I wanted to check and see what the thinking was on this issue from the owners. We wondered if there would be some segration by having an "older" RV as opposed to one less than 10 years old. I have the trailer listed in my signature anyway.

I personally am proud of my older RV...it is better bult than the newer ones and still going strong after 29 years and a lot of highway miles. We obtained our Silver Streak from my Father in law and from his records, the trailer probably has close to 200,000 miles on it...all over the US, Canada, Mexico and Alaska.

We have the go ahead to add the Vintage RV Owner to the Karma if you would like it. It is optional and an RV has to be at least 20 years old to qualify.

Send me a PM and I will add it to your file.

we love the older RVs. It is not at all unusual to have total strangers ask to see the trailer. Always love to show off all of the features in an oldie.

But ours is pretty new compareeed to yours.
