Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

I went to the website and it was just encouraging people to rent their RVs. I am wondering how they get someone's information to contact them also. I came up with nothing on the internet other than the page about renting. I would think that if they were paying someone to write articles that they would appear on the main page. I don't trust anything any more though but that is my opinion. You could call the BBB to see what they know about the company.

I have gotten a couple emails asking something similar, don't remember if they were from rvshare or not. I just deleted them as I don't trust random emails like that. Like you said, just sounds like a scam to me.

Yeah, the guy 'read our blog' and offered $50 per article I would write. Sounds too good to be true. In all the blogs I read, I haven't seen anything about this on anyone else's. Guess I'll make my money somewhere else ;)

While it is possible that it could be suspicious, I wouldn't reject it out of hand.  Many websites are looking for bloggers and article writers to draw eyeballs to they website.  The better you are at writing the more they might want you.  Remember, their sites will have advertisers and good, well written articles get attention of web surfers looking for pertinent info. Those eyeballs will see what the site holder what you to see (albeit from the corner of you eye while reading the article. (think subliminal techniques) More eyeballs, the more money the siteholder gets for allowing advertising.  It's a win-win. Advertising is getting quite pervasive on the internet. Heck, a 30 second video story can have a 60 second commercial before it just to get to the story.  And you thought TV commercials were intrusive.no

FWIW, Brian

OK, then, are they contacting people through their blogs because if so, they know you have an RV and just by chance, they are reading, find that out and get you to click on their website which encourages people to rent out their RVs. I noticed in the blog section, there were a couple different writers so maybe in order to keep from getting themselves in trouble by attracting people to their website, they might offer someone to write something. They figure after clicking on the page, you'll either want to rent your unit or be suspicious enough of the blogging offer to just dispose of the email.
