Site for checking on RV Quality

I swore that someone had posted a site so that you could get an idea of the quality of a particular RV.

Anybody know what site that is ? or was I just on cheap recreational Pharmaceuticals that day.

There's a CD you can buy that rates them like Consumer Reports but I think it's somewhere @ $100. I bet if you ask over at RV.net the name of it, you will get some info pretty quick. If your planning on making a huge investment in a RV, $100 ain't so bad.

Every time I go to that site my blood pressure goes up. Too many know-it-alls who think everything needs to be "by the book".

What do you mean "by the book?" Weights and tow ratings? Licensed Electricians and Plumbers only? I am tired of that stuff everywhere. I am fully capable to wire and plumb my own stuff, and can keep within any code asked. It shouldn't be a detriment to do things yourself.

A little bit of everything, but the "weight police" as they call them are especially annoying. For example, if you post about that great new blender you bought for making your special recipe margaritas they will find a way to tell you your truck is overloaded.

Like Joe said, wade through the crap and there's good info to be had, but there's a lot of crap to wade through, and it seems to be excreeted mostly from the same group.

Take a small can of frozen limenade, pour contents into blender, fill can with beer and pour into blender, fill can with tequilla and pour into blender, add line sherbert (app. 3 scoops) add handful of ice and blend.
