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!!
Hello all, we are so excited.... we've made the decision to become fulltimers when we retire in about 6 years from now...

Morning Dreamers, I'm researching dental insurance plans. I checked the older posts but didn't see anything specific to my quandary. Dental insurance is about $100 a month or $1200 a year for the two of us. I'm considering not getting dental insurance. For those of you who don't have dental insu...
Thinking of replacing microwave with a convection oven. Those of you with success with a convection oven, which brand and model do you use and would recommend? We don't use the micro wave and the oven burns the bottom of everything and is so small it really is not usable.

Have you added a seat belt? We took our three 12yr olds grandkids for a ride yesterday and there are only seat belts on one side of the dinnette. One had to sit on the sofa. I would love to change that but don't know if I can. I wish at least they would have put one seat belt on each side of the table instead o...
My name is Dennis and my wonderful wife is Janet. And we have a furry little aussie child by the name of Pearl. We currently live in our fifth wheel in an RV park and love the simpler life as opposed to our S&B place. We still work full time jobs but the wife retires next year. I have to work a bit longer bef...
The internet is great. My 93 year old dad lives and RVs with us. He suffers from dementia and has a catheter due to an enlarged prostate. I have found two miracle remedies. I saw an article about coconut oil helping to improve the cognitive function of people with alzheimers & dementia. I star...

I just bought my RV approx 4 weeks ago and placed my home on the market. It is already under contract (after only one showing, woo hoo!) with expected closing date mid-Oct. Wow!! It has all happened much faster than I expected. It works for me though...fits my personality. Once I decide to do something,...

This website and forum have been so useful to us! We learned about which truck to buy that fits out budget and safe towing needs. We learned about a great dealer to purchase our rig. We've learned so many safety tips. We've found recipes, humor, generous sharing, products to buy and then about Wholesal...
Ok, so you know from my previous posts we are in countdown stage to fulltiming - Sept 17 to be exact. The house is pretty much packed up and working on the dreaded basement (crawlspace). I now know why they have crawlspaces - a great place to hide all the junk you can't bare to get rid of at the time and then...
When we lived in Virginia in our pre full time days we had a vanity license plate on our motorhome: "R SANITY". Since we've hit the road full time and now are SD "residents", using a personal mailbox address, we tried to get a SD vanity plate when we changed everything over to SD. ...

I went there for lunch yesterday and ordered the number one combo with a large drink. The total came to $6.91. I handed the counter person the gift card with a $5....

They replaced my a/c, saying it was messing up my generator. The a/c that was replaced was r-22, kept it very cold. This was not the problem with the generator. They installed a r-410. Generator did the same. New unit does not cool near as good as the last one. NEED ADVICE
We are currently experiencing something we haven't in months. As I write this, we hear rain falling on the roof of our RV and little streams of water running down the windows. I had forgotten how soothing the sound of rain on an RV roof could be.Hopefully, our drought will now be over, and we pray for th...
