I don't think I've told anyone here this, except for maybe Howard and Linda but I sometimes get called into service by the FDIC to help them "resolve" failed banks. Essentially what that means is that I have to talk to a lot of borrowers who had loans with the failed bank and help them move them to another...

The significant decrease in activity on the RV-Dreams forums over the last year or two saddens me. I respond whenever someone posts a question and I think I might have something useful to say, but I'm also guilty of not starting new topics on this forum as often as I should. That said, the RV-Dreams spri...

Is anyone headed for the “BigShow” in Quartzite on January 18-26? We are planning to camp out on Paloma Road in the 14 day free camping area for 3 or 4 days in the middle of the week.

There have been numerous threads here about exit plans so I figured I would pass along our decision on our exit plans.

Most of us put a fair amount of thought into what it would take for us to become full-timers. We thought about what to do with all of our stuff, what sort of RV we needed, what sort of towed/tow vehicle we wanted, where we would go, and what we would do. For a lucky few, all has gone according to plan. For most o...

Many people use outdoor rope lights around their rigs for different purposes. Some say they prevent or at least reduce visits from mice. Others just like the looks.

You can do it! Stop being the unwanted guest of the campground. You can socialize your dog and get them in obedience classes (along with you, the owner) to train your dog to stop barking at every living thing that walks by your RV. Please. I beg of you. Do this.
