I am pleased to hear that you are appreciating the forum and have expressed interest in expanding it. The forum as it is presently structured is, as the introduction indicates, a "support forum for Keystone owners". So in that sense, it is already dedicated to and intended for owners of Keystone RV's.
Personally, I think the forum in its present form, meets the needs of the majority of Keystone owners regardless of the model of RV they have whether it be a Trailer, Toy Hauler or 5th Wheel. There are, I believe, sufficient categories that cover most areas that are of concern to those who own an RV - Passport, Raptor, Laredo, etc. I am not convinced that there would be any advantages to be gained by splitting off into separate forums: one for Passport owners, another for Cougar owners, one for Raptor, etc.
I enjoy reading posts not specifically related to Cougar - our model of RV. Many of the posts and questions submitted by non-Cougar owners are extremely informative and worthwhile. If these non-Cougar owners were to leave and form their own group, I would be missing out on a lot of valuable and useful information.
I believe this forum is a better place because of the wide variety of opinions, questions, and expertise that owners of all makes and models have contributed. We should, in my opinion, stay together.

Rallies, while they do bring people who share common interests together, are very difficult to arrange and to organize. As you probably are aware, we have members from all over Canada and the United States- from east to west and north to south. Not only are they widely dispersed but we have members who "old and retired" and "young and working". Some members like the concept of rallies others do not. People's vacation times vary. I am not trying to to discourage those who would like to organize a rally of some sort from doing so but merely trying to point out that it is a tough sell and shouldn't be put off by the apparent lack of interest. It just isn't "convenient" for many members to participate.
In many cases, the interest is there but in reality it just isn't going to happen.
I haven't really offered any "suggestions" that you were looking for ---- just throwing in my 2 cents. Or is it 5 cents now?
I applaud your interest and enthusiasm.
