We have had an increasing number of posts in this section of the forum that are wildly off topic, raising hackles and causing an unreasonable level of rancor. It has been disheartening to witness and has reduced the generally pleasant vibe of the MyGrandRV Forum.

Most people have long ago formed opinions and will not be swayed by further debate. This toxic back and forth spills out into other sections of the forum and reduces the helpful and friendly discussion that is the hallmark of the MyGrandRV forum. Your volunteer site team is tired of patrolling the covid playground; quelling dustups that serve no real purpose and we ask for your help as we do some remodeling in the covid forum.

The Covid Forum will remain open but with new regs.

Topics should be directly related to RVing and RV travel issues. Specifically we won't allow posting that just discuss such things as statistics, disease rates, sources of such information and the like.

We have closed most old covid topics leaving a few that appear to be on topic. Please read the new restated rules below before posting in this section of the forum.

Posts that run afoul of the rules will be deleted without explanation. Older threads and threads that begin to wander off topic will be routinely closed to avoid re-infection.

You can help: There are plenty of fine places on the internet to engage in general debate but we are an RVing forum. Help us stay focused on the the thing that we share in common - an interest in RVing. When discussions begin to wander astray, make a choice to not engage. Instead, hit the report post button on posts that seem counter to the intent of the covid forum and let the site team manage the issue. Let's get back to discussing RVs, RV travel, repairs, modifications, travel experiences and the like as they relate to RVing.

Covid 19 Forum Rules (in addition to existing site rules):
Please read carefully:

All Community Rules will be enforced in this forum and this forum has some special rules. Posts that run afoul of these rules may be closed or deleted without notification based on the judgment of the moderators.

Covid Forum Special Rules:
All regular MyGrandRV forum discussion guidelines apply in this section of the forum plus these additional rules:

  • Covid topics must be directly related to RVing and RV Travel concerns for RVers. These might include boarder crossings, campground rules, RV safety, regulations that affect RVers, etc.
  • There are many places on the internet to discuss pandemic politics and personal liberty but we are an RVing board. General posts about vaxed or not, personal restrictions or not, vax safety, etc. will not be allowed.
  • Political debate and vaccine safety debate will be off-limits.
  • Posts about covid statistics, rates, or sources will not be allowed.
  • Posts that exhibit fear-mongering, politically charged statements or other anti-social behavior may result in the author’s posting privileges being restricted.

There has been a lot of very useful information and perspective shared here on this topic, but unfortunately also a good bit that doesn't align with forum rules. Please respect your fellow members by thinking through this before posting:

- Is it factual?
- Is it helpful?
- Is it kind?

If you have any questions about this, feel free to message any moderator.

Wishing good health to all,
The Site Team
