Robert,

Thanks for your answer. I am adamant that my works are provided free to the public and that no one makes any money from them.

I will hold off for now to see where this goes.

I was traveling yesterday so I did not have a chance to respond until this morning. By the way, James is for formal things and Jim is what I go by so no problem.

To the best of my knowledge, we have not heard from RG as to any situations regarding the site. I would think he would be notified if it was closing.

Thanks again,

Jim Exler

I retrieved the files and posted presentations on how to preserve all the information because Yahoo will stop access and ultimately delete the content and because no one else seemed to have a solution.

'Because the "Attention" notice from Yahoo states: "Sending/Receiving email functionality is not going away, you can continue to communicate via any email client with your group members" , methinks both old and new Safarifriends posts will be available on line, (at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Safarifriends/conversations/messages), as they have been since 2000.... If, Mr.G, the founder/owner/moderator, makes no changes.

However If a change is made I will follow Safarifriends to wherever it lands.

Taylor,

I was a union pipe fitter and welder and tinker with electronics, model railroad, photography and of course, my RV. I taught myself AutoCad and have used it for years; both in my trade as a piping detailer and at home.


When I bought my Sahara used in 2007, the previous owner gave me his accumulation of data which was extensive. I felt lucky to have this data and decided to share it. I found Safarifriends and the rest is history.

Since that time I have added to the collection by redrawing some of the factory drawings and of course making many of my own as needed. I also take pictures of everything I work on, particularly that hidden after the unit is ready for service. The internet
is a great source of information and I spend hours sometimes "lost" looking for answers.

Thanks for your note.
