Hi Dennis- I’d be interested. I don’t use Facebook and the only social media I use is VanAlert, which is great and doesn’t deviate from the topic. I think this list is great and even though I don’t post much, when I have I have gotten the sense that no one saw it. So a more robust platform would be great, but I would hope everyone on here would see the value of being on ‘there’.

Then came Facebook with Vanagon Owners Group and Vanagon Cafe; personally these are my favorites....so easy...and no I am not inundated with spam and ads maybe because I use Firefox with an AdBlocker.  Almost every post includes pictures, some even include videos.
