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!!
My wife and I have been full-timing since 2009, but unfortunately a family medical issue has led to an unexpected end to our travels. In an effort to make the best out of our circumstances, we thought it would be nice if we could help out some folks that are thinking about hitting the road full-time and a...
Where did the time go? I can't believe it's been 100 days (102 actually) since we embarked on this journey of a new lifestyle. I can't say it's been a lot of FUN, as we had several repairs to make and a dislocated hip to deal with most of the time. We are currently in our third campground and still trying to...

Hi, Folks, I'm planning to retire soon, and my wife Mickie and I are thinking about RVing at least part time--maybe segueing into full-time.

This morning I turned on the hot water for a shower, about 2 seconds of water then nothing. We have good pressure on cold side, but no water on hot side from any tap. Have tried both city water and holding tank. Hank flushed the hot water heater 3X and got a small amount of sediment, but not much. We are g...

I did a search and didn't see anything covering my issue. I have a 36' Excel Limited Edition, 2012. I've only used the RV a couple times since purchased. I noticed a slight surge when turning on the water, hot or cold. After hearing an occasional thumping from the water lines, I installed a pressure guag...
I was shocked to read tonight that Amazon is closing their KS facility in February. I think it said they had been there for 15 years. I do think they had trouble recruiting employees in the local area, we lived in SE KS and I know why that happens since many other businesses end up in the same fix. I do won...
