The complicated rules: Terms and conditions of use

This discussion forum is provided free of charge to individuals interested in RVing and related topics.

Commercial advertising of any sort, with the exception of postings in the RV marketplace categories, will not be allowed. The RV marketplace may only be used to advertise RVs for sale or trade, and RV specific items, as defined by the rules posted within each RV marketplace forum. Commercial postings in the general forums, spamming, the collection of e-mail addresses for mass marketing, and any other related activities are prohibited.

The focus of the discussion forum is intended to be RVing. All aspects of RVs and RVing are fair game. Posts, pictures, or links that are political, religious, sexual, or government-related in nature are not allowed on the forum. Posts or topics primarily intended to create controversy or dissent are also unacceptable. Please stay on topic when posting and responding.

Please note that anything you post will be visible to the general public, so be careful with private or personal information. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the contents of posted messages and are not responsible for any messages posted. Escapees RV Club cannot guarantee the accuracy of claims or the true identity of users. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message.
