I do not belong to any RV related groups there.
I'm looking at a pretty "niche" line of RVs, so joined a group on FB just for the Coachmen Crosstrail RVs. It's nice to have model-specific discussions; and I'm finding the lack of complaints reassuring :-)

There are several specific pages for our coach. Those that might offer advice I warn new owners away from. This is because I have seen three coaches that were probably very repairable go to scrap when the owner took the wrong advice. There may have been more, but I don't read those pages any more. It is too sad.

I dont think anything is killing sites other than people are sick of living life online kinda. Older ya get, a forum chat ain't the biggest thing on MY personal brain, I wanna live and don't care to share social media cause I wasn't raised social media too so???? Dino here definitely..![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile") ... but key being, maybe the young'ins out there on the road that post every single thing which is normal in life HAS to be doc'd online as some kinda normal 'whatever thing' in life it will change....don't know, dont care moving forward actually but then that is generational thing happening?? maybe?? no idea LOL

Well, according to FB, I'm about to be kicked off their site, because I will NOT give them my phone number for "2-part verification". They say it's for "security" - but everyone I know who uses their phone for FB gets spam texts and robo-calls. I don't. Ever.
Aside from missing pics of grandkids doing cute things, I really don't care. At least RV.net lets me hang around ;-)

We still use old-fashioned email to exchange family info and photos. We are on FB too, minimally, but don't share family stuff on it too often.

So just do what the scammers do!
But this is top secret, so don’t tell anyone! LOL.
Sign up for a ‘virtual’ (VOIP) phone number from any one of hundreds of companies. Then do the authentication and then turn off that phone number. See below.
Best free virtual phone line providers. Clicky.

So, whatever number you use will need to be able to forever receive phone calls or SMS text messages, as it will do one or the other to allow you to login.
Unfortunately, you can't once and done it, as you'll need the number later for reverifications as the tokens expire.
