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!!
Phil & Victoria met up with Howard & Linda about a year before they went full-time. They were so appreciative of their help. They noticed our RV-Dreams.com bumper sticker on our rig. Great people and they said to say hello. They are volunteering as Hosts And loving it here. Sherry & Jess...
I awoke about 6:50 AM; to a room spinning; at least that is what my eyes envisioned. It took a few attempted tries to get out of bed before success. Came in to the easy chair; took my Blood pressure; 155/108; sat and turned on the TV; the motion was to much for my eyes to bear. I then got all my meds together; c...
House closed got our home on wheels. parked in drive, have till Monday to be out. Found out our first mistake was we should have gotten a 50amp instead of 30. This will be our learning unit. My question now what are some of the must have items that you all can suggest we make sure to have as we hit the road. we l...
We are celebrating our first 2 Years Fulltime on Nov 8th. We picked up our Jayco Pinnacle on Nov 8th 2011 and it has been an adventure ever since. We have had a blast and met some great people along the way. Our Jayco Pinnacle has held up well to the miles and fulltime use, we have had a few problems and made a s...

Hi! The time has come for us to stay put for a while and get off the road, so this means that our 2011 Montana High Country 343RLS and 2011 Ford F-250 4x2 Supercab XLT are for sale. They are both in great condition and have been smoke-free, well-loved and well-maintained. We would love to sell as total pack...
I have a interesting problem. I'm hooked up to a friends house for water. When I flush my rv toilet, she hears her plumbing vibrate. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.
I am new to the forum, I have a 1988 Ford Sterling (Made by Glendale RV) 21ft Class C. I was extremely limited by the space allocated to me, and all the 5th wheels & trailers I looked at I didn't like, or were too damn small & cramped. I found this Sterling for $4000 cdn, in very nice shape. The PO had r...

More than 20 yrs ago my husband and I became full-timers. We had no money, no savings, no jobs but we wanted to travel the country. Our first destination was the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. We both found work we loved and stayed there for six months. As a result of my first job in the Valley I received a job...
Hi this is Mike & Jane Sweeney. We have been viewing and learning from your sight for about 6 mos. now. Intension was in 8 to 10 years when retired we would go full timing. Because of 60 hour work weeks we had only been out in class C's three times, but we loved it. I wintered over in Rhode Island in 40' 5ve...
Hey all, I'm hoping to be full timing very soon. My wife and I are putting the house on the market next week and looking at models online and some in person. I've found tons of information on here thanks to the great posters and will be posting a separate thread shortly with some questions!
We've been full time for a almost 4 months, changed addresses on line and made at least 7 calls to Good Sam's and still are getting mail forwarded from the old address to our mail forwarding company. Any suggestions? This is getting frustrating.
Has anyone out there with a newer 2011-2013 F450 had the front factory installed mudflaps tear off at the body line? Mine have each ripped in the bend of the plastic & I am certain I did not hit anything to cause it. I found a thread on a diesel truck forum but the dealer service manager claims he can't f...
I live in my 5th wheel at River's End Campground and RV Park. Also I am a camphost at the Campground. I bought my 5th wheel after I rented a furnished mobile home cabin at the Richmond Hill, GA KOA campground. To get to my 40 foot cabin I had to drive by alot of RVs, 5th wheels, and Class C's and I thought som...

Our middle daughter will be having a pre-term baby any day, we're praying for 9 more days for the least complications, but we will be taking our home to Knoxville for a week or so stay. We've found a campground that's about 15 min. away from her house. We've spent the last month working to get settled, now...
Our next stop will be in Savannah Georgia. Might just have to stay there a couple weeks to take it all in. There isn't a whole bunch on RV Parks Review about the area so does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
please give me your suggestions I am looking for review guides on class A and class C RV's and would like to know which one I should spend my hard earned money on or if there are any other suggestions for getting ratings on RVs Thanks for your help
We just arrived (Tues, 11/12/13} at Rainbow's End SKP Campground this week to do the whole domicile thing. We'll probably be here til the end of November. We're in site 19. If you're down here, look us up!
I often wonder how many people that decide to fulltime RV had been campers and RVers and just decided to take it to the max and fulltime. We did. On our first trip to Disney World, a lifetime dream fulfilled for me, we stayed in a park model trailer at Fort Wilderness. It cost a small fortune but I saw peo...
I have been watching this forum for awhile and love it. I am a first time RV guy with my wife considering the full time lifestyle. We have rented RV's and we are sure that now we want to buy and cut loose for 1 year to try the full time lifestyle. For our first RV we want a used Class A unit that is reliable. W...

Please take a few moments today to honor all the veterans who have or are serving our country. Many of them made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free. Jim
We will be heading South on I-95 in Florida next week heading for Hallendale Beach. Anyone have any suggestions for a 1-2 night stop between Vero Beach and Pompano Beach areas? In my research I came across Johnathan Dickinson State Park, anyone stayed there?
Hi all, I've been going to different RV dealerships, I'm being told information that I'm not certain about. Soo I thought I would ask you all on this forum. I was told don't buy an RV on Craigslist, I was also told at another dealership not to buy a class C it would drive like a Uhaul. I will be a solo RVer, a...
