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!!

Howard, how many mikes have you logged since you started your journey and how many sets of tires have you gone thru, on both your rig and your two vehicles, just curious,   thanks mark.   it appears your F450 and Cambridge are still with you.

Hey Mark,

Since we went on the road Aug 3, 2005, we have put 62,000 miles on our truck.  Before getting the Jeep, when the truck was our only vehicle, we put 27,400 miles on it (two years), but only 34,600 in the 5.3 years since then. 

We have put 41,000 miles on the fifth wheel (a 5,600 miles-per-year average).

We bought the Jeep in July 2007 and have put about 83,000 miles on it (about 15,600 miles per year).

We have changed tires once on the truck.  And we've changed and upgraded the tires and upgraded the wheels on the fifth wheel once.  We put new tires on the Jeep when we bought it and have changed them once since. 

Yep, both the 2005 F450 and the 2006 Keystone Cambridge fifth wheel are still with us.  However, we did have to put a new engine in the truck this past summer.  And, in addition to the wheel and tire upgrade on the fifth wheel, we upgraded to the Mor/ryde Independent Suspension and disc brakes.
