Like just about everybody, I never see the home page -- I come straight into the Forums. The new look is only for new folks to RV.net. I never saw the old home page so I don't know how this one compares.
That said, it looks pretty good...not overly busy or too simple.

Like the others, I never see the header page. I was satisfied with the original. I would settle for a portal that isn't soooo slow or non-functional many times. Many times the RV.net portal is very slow or not working at all and I use other portals that at least allow me to log on and get to the information. I think you should work on that problem before you start changing page layouts.
