Thank you!

The RV Builder's Hotline takes a very small amount of money and a very large amount of time to produce. I put in the time and the following people have donated the money. Please note, however, that I prefer you donate first to Van's Air Force, which does such an outstanding job of covering our sport, under the direction of Doug Reeves. VAF is Doug's job and I strive to make it clear that the Hotline is definitely not mine (fingers crossed on that, however!) and I am not seeking to draw either traffic or income away from Doug.

It's taken a little bit of hoop-jumping but I finally have a year subscription for Web hosting and have configured the subscribe/unsubscribe functions to be automated. Other than expenses for running around and finding an occasional RV story, I don't see any significant financial challenges.

Presently there is enough in the "pot" to produce the Hotline through the issue of: October 15, 2009. I am thinking, however, of adding some equipment so we can do a weekly podcast with RV discussion. And, say, since I'm on the subject, would you be interested in participating?
