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!!
From many other threads, it seems the consensus for full internet coverage is a combination of Verizon and AT&T. Currently, in my S&B, we don't own a tv (cable is too expensive). We get our entertainment via Netflix (don't mind watching stuff if it's not live - in fact, it's much better withou...
Hi, my wife Jenny and I are about to become full time campers. We will be retiring next month! We are life long campers and have raised 4 sons who are also campers. We are looking forward to camp hosting for a few months out the year. We have not had the opportunity to camp host until now. We are excited abo...
I have been (obsessively) reading the blogs, posts, etc. and getting so excited about the prospect of RV living! I am following advice: I just subscribed to Trailer Life magazine. We have been to a couple of dealerships and are going to the Hershey show next week for some seminars. BUT we have never eve...

In preparation for spending the upcoming winter in Baja boondocking on the beach with my little travel trailer and the pooch, I JUST finished putting together my very first solar panel - 100W Renogy with a same brand (although looks very generic and inexpensive) charge controller. It was fun puttin...
Around here all the campgrounds are going to close very soon for our long Arctic winter... I need to know where I could eventually find a safe place to hook up my travel trailer at least to get power in it... Any suggestions? Thank you! MURIEL
I have been studying and thinking and planning to be a full timer for some time. Retirement date is in one year. I already eliminated house and all related accouterments 6 years ago (last storage locker emptied in July). Family are in many parts of the country and the hope is to be spending MORE time w...
Hi! I am new to this Forum and a new widow. I have a question about my Honda eu1000i generator. I hope to go to Mexico for the winter with my little 16' travel trailer and the pooch - boondocking a lot on the beach. I have recently learned about the evils of ethanol gas in small engines! :( But the generator i...

Just jumping in to say "WELCOME to the Best RV forum on the Planet.! I have been neglecting the RV Family for awhile now! Wow! This sure has grown since I became a member. I don't know if we are the Largest' but believe we are the Friendliest!

I'm in the process of buying a class A but still need some input. This will be our first RV and we don't anticipate to change every 2 or 3 years therefore our choice needs to be the most accurate as possible. I still hesitate between a DP and the gas powered Canyon Star 3020 from Newmar, I'm affraid not to hav...
I apologize if this gets long, but it's sort of complex. We have been planning on buying an RV for a while now. We were supposed to do it next spring, but we've got some wrenches thrown into the fan, and I'm just looking for objective opinions on how you would proceed if you were in this situation. We are an a...
Well RV Family; finally got a little financial windfall that will help get some of my back indebtness paid off. When I checked my bank account yesterday I practically fell down; got weak in the knees and started sweating. I've waited so long for something to come through; and I had almost giving up hope...
Some have been talking about going to RV shows and I was wondering how many of you have seen "The Long, Long Trailer" with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez? If you haven't seen it, you really should. I have always loved the movie ever since I was a child. I never fail to be on the edge of my seat when...
Hey friends, Since I have never had to do this on my own, I need help. I have a 2008 Honda CRV and need new tires. I have no idea what kind to buy or where to go.. Can't believe I only have 27,000 miles on it and the Bridgestone's are almost bald.. I bought this vehicle used last year so don't know what these tir...
We were told yesterday by the owner at the campground we are at, that using our own wifi affects the wifi offered at the campground. Somehow it causes the campground wifi to be less effective if there are alot of campers using their own wifi. We use the Verizon Jetpack. Has anyone heard of this?
How often should an rv rubber roof be reseal. I was told to check the roof every 90 days. A dealer told me a roof should be reseal every year. What do you think. jt
Hello everyone! First a little background... Hubby and I are 60+, have been happily married for 40 years, and are blessed with good health.

Realtor just called and thinks we will receive TWO different offers on home this week. One is from a new moving to our town and second from a local engineer. I'm not sure how I'll survive the next few days!!!
We need some advice from the experienced full-times to choose between two RV site options- 1. Army Champ Camp where we are currently parked with 50amp full hook-up service. There are approximately 25 RVs currently parked there (a few full-timers and some only show up for the weekends). There is a c...
Let me start by saying how thankful I am of this forum and community as a few more out there. I spent 2 years learning everything I could about the rv lifestyle before we took it on. Probably one of the biggest lessons learned was the fact of how little we really knew before we started our quest. So lets sta...

Hello, I am new to the forum and hoping that you all know the right source for me to find a used diesel RV to convert to veggie oil or one that is already converted. A school bus would be OK as well, though I was hoping for something just a bit shorter and easier to park. Here is the ad I wrote that gives more in...
