Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Road/Truckers Atlas


Hey Howard.  When you were at the Escapees Rally in the Fulltimers Forum you mentioned the Atlas that you use.  My husband didn't write it down and asked me to send you an email.
So if you don't mind......we would really appreciate it. 
Thanks.....

The book I mentioned is not really an atlas.  It is a directory and description of mountain passes.  Actually, there are two of them.

Mountain Directory East & Mountain Directory West for Truckers, RV, and Motorhome Drivers

These guides let us know about mountain passes and grade percentages so that we know what to expect and what to avoid.

I'm pretty sure Howard uses the Motor Carriers Road Atlas from Rand McNally that we use.You can find them at just about any truck stop for around $ 20.00. On edit I see Howard posted right before me.The two he mentioned we have also.The one I mentioned tells you big rig friendly Highways and secondary roads.
