The admins of this forum threatened to ban my account if I didn't pay to be a vendor because they said I was advertising my business. I disagree with them, and it really killed my motivation to continue updating this thread or to maintain it. Maybe someday when I have some free time I'll fix the broken photo links.

That's strange. I have watched most your videos. They are excellent. At no point did I get the impression you are promoting a business or that you are going to start selling campers.

Yeah... the admin folks here are nothing like they were when I first joined many moons ago. Now they get their panties all wadded up over trivial nonsense.

I think it’s that they never had power in any way shape or form before and now they abuse the little they have as an admin via the forum.

I’ve been on ExPo since basically day one and it’s gone downhill pretty bad.

There’s still some good info to be found, but the articles announcing $400k Tacoma campers and the like are so overbearing and annoying, it’s to the point now it’s just annoying spam...

Part humorous, part pathetic

NOTE: I love your vids and ageee with @Victorian, I never once got the vibe you were selling anything or even trying to

Well, cry us all a river. How much money did you make off the YouTube videos? It seems like making YouTube videos was your business. Did you stop to think about that? Seems like the entire point of this thread was to promote your videos. Seems like a business to me. Don't pretend to be naive. You knew exactly what you were doing.

If you want to build a camper then build a camper but please stop begging for attention while you do it. JFC.

No way. They interacted and answered questions as much as anyone. Their content was great quality, on point, and very informative for anyone thinking about building their own rig. It takes real work to do that... if they are making a few $ on youtube, then that's fine with me.

Agree with @rruff 110%

You’re completely off base @Lance990 and coming across as an ignorant donkey

I’m guessing you likely yell at the neighbor kids to get of your lawn?

TrailtestedMFG is promoting their YouTube channel which is a business.

I've watched your camper build and never felt as though you were advertising in any way. I think your videos offer a lot of motivation for others that are contemplating a build.

It's pretty funny that they threatened to ban you! Just send them a link to this previous build of yours that they featured on the front page haha. https://expeditionportal.com/expedition-portal-classifieds-1969-jeep-wagoneer/

Wow, if that is the case then there are a lot more people that fall under the same category. I guess I will stop and not mention any names so they do not get told to stop promoting themselves. This place will become a lot less enjoyable without content like this.

There's a different intent when someone starts publishing YouTube content 2-3 times a week.
