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!!
Lordy!!! Today has been emotional! Kids picked up their stuff. Only furniture left is master suite, it goes tomorrow. Told my good friend and neighbor that we were moving into Aviator tomorrow, so no more walking to work together. (I'm working thru year- end). I know full timing is what I / we want to do...

We are considering the possibility of apply to Adventurland. It sounds great with lots of opportunities with campsite plus wages etc. We will not be able to start till the end of May due to Grandsons graduation. But after watching the Spring Tornados we're a little leary, oh okay. a lot leary. Ha...
Does anyone have any advice on a portable gas grill? We grill out almost exclusively when we're RVing (and at home too), weather permitting of course. But we've not had a lot of luck with finding a good portable grill. We currently have one that only uses the small propane canisters, but it doesn't c...
Jo and I are both in the stages of planning for two events. The first will be for our upcoming vacation to the Colorado Springs/Canon City/Cripple Creek area in Colorado to visit family. Both of Jo's sisters have now moved to that area. One week from this evening, we'll be renting a U-Haul trailer so...
I'm exhausted, the house is a mess, it's raining off and on...but we ARE moving into our Aviator! Closing later this week on the loft. I will NEVER accumulate so many "treasures" again!!! What a waste of money! Well...long enough rest, back to sorting, boxing and more sore muscles. :)
Has anyone out there had expierence towing a trailer with each of these systems on them? Both systems are supposed to produce a better riding trailer than springs and I am wondering which one is best. I thought the air ride was best until someone said that they condense water and the lines freeze and the...
We've just started researching RV's, and the potential to live as Full Timers. Shopping around has us thinking a 5th wheel would be the best fit for us. The hubby, Jamie, is a government contractor (& retired Army) and I am a Massage Therapist. We are in our 40's with 2 sons, 19 & 22. In the searc...
This may be a dumb question, but here goes.
When we turn the A/C remote from cool to furnace....will the furnace be running on propane? There is also a "heat" symbol...we never got a booklet on this unit! Does the heat only come from propane...or can it be run on electric too?
I want to go visit my sister in law (shes in Norfolk), pick her up a take her camping for a week or so around Virginia. Unfortunately she has stage 4 cancer so we probably wont be doing alot but would like it to be beautiful Any ideas? ThANKS
Hello Everyone: DW and I will be venturing out Early Nov. 2013 as New FT's. Had a workamper offer as a SOLO worker 24hrs/wk with a 6 mos commitment. DW is on SSD and uses a power scooter for longer distances. Is the issuing of a W2 standard in return for rv hookups? Guess I'm wondering will I be paying taxes o...
Has it been fun, Yes has it been bad, Yes. Will I workamp again, Yes. I guess, as with most things in life, there have been some good and some bad Experiences. I have met some really nice folks, and swapped stories and lies with them. I got a chance to met some of the workampers from other nearby campgrounds...
Ok, this is enough. I've been in the Black Hills of SD since the first of July. I've been in 4 hail storms, none really bad until this evening. Hail the size of golf balls or bigger. Broke one of my vents and put several holes in slide out covers. Also put several dimples in my truck! I've really enjoyed the...
Anyone ever been to the California RV Show at the LA County Fairgrounds in Pomona? I hear that it is a big one and might be a good place to check out all the different types of RVs. I know many have said that it is a good idea to check out the shows to learn more. We hope to get one sometime in the next year or so...
I have to replace the axles and brakes on a TT trailer and am thinking of changing to disc brakes. This will require a electric/hydraulic actuator to be installed on the trailer as well as running hydraulic brake lines from the actuator to each of the 4 wheels. I know that a lot of the 5er's are running hyd...
This month Diane and I celebrated our 15th anniversary!!! We just went out to a nice dinner. But her birthday was also just a few days ago and we bought a new motorhome to celebrate . Well that's my story and sticking to it LOL!!!
Hubs and I are just starting to research purchasing a motor home suitable for full timing. He has no experience with trailers or motor homes other than something he towed behind a motorcycle for a cross country trip many years ago. I have owned in the far distant past TT's form 14' to 35' and for a short ti...
We have a Dometic fridge in our travel trailer that does not have temperature controls. We'd love to figure out to install a control if anyone has suggestions. We are also perplexed by the fact that our lettuce, in the very bottom of the fridge seems to keep freezing and then becomes wilted and inedibl...
Well, after reviewing the Auto Flex System and the Mor Ryde system, determining installation options, etc. Dale decided to go with the Auto Flex System and it's working great!! We had it installed at the TransWest location in Firestone Colorado. We had a 400 mile drive across Wyoming into Utah and D...
Woke up this morning to the news of yet another mass shooting in your lovely country. It is so sad that people can still reach such dispair in a country that offers such love freedom and acceptance to people. Praying for the families of the victims as they grieve. Also praying for the family of the perpet...
This RV site has a great reputation for taking on the touchy subjects without its members attacking one another. That being said, I would like to find out how the RV-Dreams community feels about the 55+ rule at some resorts/parks. I hope Terry & Jo - Howard & Linda will allow this topic to run...
Well it's been January since I've posted. Me and my boyfriend were first looking at a Trilogy then got introduced to a DRV and fell in love. Well I didn't get a DRV (YET!) but I did get something and I did get a truck. The DRV will come maybe in 2 years, we've decided to save up the majority of it and then maybe t...
The RV Safety & Education Foundation (RVSEF) is seeking another couple to be a weighing team on the road. We now have two teams and are seeking a third. This is primarily a supplemental income gig; however, the income can be pretty good for a team that wants to do a lot of rallies (though we recomm...
In the few years I have been researching to prepare for living my dream (when I can finish fixing up the house to put on the market), one of the things I did was to visit every state's dept. of treasury and motor vehicle sites in order to compile a comparative list. I am very happy to share my findings with yo...
Got back Tuesday from my trip to Mesquite, NV for a BBQ contest. Part of the trip put me on I-70 from roughly Green River, UT to I-15 to Mesquite. The fuel prices in Utah and the little part of Nevada that I saw were running $4.06 cash and $4.15 credit or debit. Since I don't carry $1,000.00 around in my pocke...
Hi Howard, I posted this in "Community" but it was suggested you might be the best one to answer this: I would like to share a spreadsheet I created regarding tax and DMV status & requirements for domiciles. I know how to add a hyperlink but not sure how to add a file. Any hints? Thanks!
We have been fulltiming for a year now and just got banned from Escapees Forum today. I was told this was a much better forum so I decided to come this way.
