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!!
We're new to the forum, but have been stalking for some time. We have been living in our Mobile Suites for 4 years and will be retiring the end May/June and starting our full time travels. I am pretty technologically challenged and have a question regarding talk, text and data. We currently have ATT la...
So I am looking for a used Class A, about 36 feet. Since I don't want a 40 footer, there do not seem to be an abundance out there. I found an '08 Winnebago Adventurer, but I worried too much about the price and someone else got it. There was an 07 National Dolphin that I just did not love... and I ran when I not...
Okay Well this is a little late, but life was very busy when we came home. I just want to thank Howard and Linda for an outstanding Rally and taking the time to put it on. You guys Rock!!!

We are currently researching insurance companies for our vehicles and 5th wheel. We received a quote from a company recommended on this site and were happy with the cost. When we asked about a rider for our jewelry, we were told that the quote did not include personal property. Question...... What ar...

Whoo hoo, the Sages are on the road after 22 months of hard work and planning. Our first voyage as full timers. I am exhilarated and terrified at the same time. Lots of tears with the goodbyes to my family and friends yesterday. But we have family in NC and Cali. And a whole bunch of new friends I haven't eve...
Last night we picked up our new-to-us truck, a Ford F350 Powerstroke diesel. I have christened it "The Big Black Behemoth." It is already set up for a fifth wheel reciever hitch (that's what it's called, right?) so now the question is, "What type?" I've seen lots of used ones on...

Let me start by saying this is not an indictment of pitbulls or other breeds that are recognized as prone to agressive behavior... to me that is part and parcel of irresponsible inbreeding, poor treatment and inferior training of both dog and owner to handle what can easily turn into a disastrous enco...
Hello all. Doug here. Having recently taken an interest in RVs, I've been lurking around on the forums for the last month or so. Just soaking it all in like a sponge. I've always found the prospect of hitting the road to nowhere in particular to be very appealing, but that whole job-like thing has always...

My previous employer got bought out b...

I have an idea for an impulse item to sell at rv parks and truck stops. Retail it will sell for under 2$ if I can manage it, after buying in bulk, repackaging and distribution. (While this remains to be seen, I am fairly certain I can get this into stores for under 5$ retail no matter what, though I am hoping f...
