The purpose of our web site is to keep our family and friends informed of our misadventures in full time RVing. We have been quite surprised at how much it has grown and the number of non-family that now read it each week from all over the world.
We never meant for the site to be commercial and had not considered seeking out sponsors. Anything we have reviewed on our site has been items we have had personal experience with and we have been honest about the pros and cons of those items.
Recently, we had three companies inquire about sponsoring our site. We have not done any business with these companies nor heard of them before. We felt it might be a good time to address this issue and we may have to start thinking about the possibility someday of taking on sponsors if these inquiries continue.
If that does happen we will be setting some ground rules. First of all, we will not accept a sponsor that we have not personally done business with and can honestly recommend their product. After all, it is our reputation and good name. We would not want to mislead anyone reading our blog and have them pay good money for something we wouldn’t use ourselves. Second, it is OUR site and not the sponsors. We will not allow any sponsor to dictate what we post or do with our site
If we never get any sponsors, that’s fine with us. If we do get sponsors that follow our ground rule, well that’s just icing on the cake. As said before, this is a website made to keep our family and friends updated on our misadventures. Nothing more and nothing less.
Be safe and well.
