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!!
Do you just plow right on through big cities with creeping traffic, construction zones, potholes, Etc or do you go out of your way on secondary roads to avoid them at all costs? When you're headed to a destination. BTW, avoid the interstates in Birmingham, AL At all costs!!!
We will be in central Florida - Orlando / The Villages area in April. Can anyone let us know of any large RV Dealerships with lots of used RV's in those areas? We are looking at Class A DP's and 5th Wheels. Thanks in advance!
put in a residential frig in 2013 palomino Columbus ,want to add inverter to run it while traveling and maybe overnight stop if we have no power ive studied diagrams tv is on same circuit which is great . do I run inverter power thru whole breaker box or can I pick just one breaker circuit?
For some of the newer members here, There is a wealth of information available in the pages of this forum. While its great to find a subject that has been written about and has had various answers posted, its easier to start a new topic and start fresh than reviving a dead thread. As people come and go,...
So we think we've found the unit that works for our year of FT travel around the country. We're looking at a 2017 Tiffin Phaeton 40QKH with 9,900 miles on it which means ~1.5 yrs or 26K miles of warranty remaining from Tiffin. Given that we'll be FT for a solid year, likely 15K+ miles over that time, wha...
Hi, My wife and I have been living full time for about 8 years now. Let me back up just a little. I have been RV camping since I was an infant. (thanks dad) I was raised as an explorer, maybe that was part of the reason I enlisted in the Army at the age of 17. after a bit of time, I got out and worked for the Veterans...
we just got a new Livin Lite trailer and are happy with it. For now we love making small trips 3/4 days to our gorgeous coast, mostky boondocking. The trailer came with a microwave convection oven with a turn table. I don’t use microwave ovens and want to replace it or not. Most of the cooking is done outsi...
This is for those of you who have an Instant Pot and like wine. There is even a pic of a nice wine glass in the post. https://foodnservice.com/instant-pot-wine/ I have not tried this so good luck.
I was wondering if anyone is planning to attend the RVillage rally in Elkhart Indiana, May 17-21? We are going and will look forward to meeting other "Dreamers" there.
I purchased a 2017 Sanibel 3601 fifth wheel trailer ( made by Primetime/forest river)that has water damage so I need to replace the flooring, the flooring in the slide‘s is ok so I’m trying to find out who makes there flooring. The dealer said he can get the carpet but not the Vinyl I’m hoping to find the m...
Howard and Linda, we are singing your praises! We travelled from Van Horn, TX to Lordsburg, NM today, and the only part of the trip we were dreading was the drive through El Paso. We had researched a few options to taking the I-10 through the city, and in doing so, stumbled across your Dec. 11 blog post det...
Hi All, Jeff and I haven't been around much. We've been pretty much in the throws of work and life in preparation for his hopeful retirement in about 3 years. We happened to be in Florida right before the Tampa RV Super Show so extended our trip for a few days to attend. We figured it was one of the best p...
We finally made the move to change Domicile after checking into it before making the move of course. We choose a mail forwarding services and next as a member the mail forwarding service provided the necessary forms to get the wheels in motion. Our choose was Florida. We of course have all our vehi...
OK, we now have our fifth wheel, it is a 2016 Bighorn 3570RS, we are getting rid of our too small 2008 Ford F250 6.4L Turbo Diesel and in the market for a (not new, but recent model) Ford F350 6.7L Turbo Diesel Dually. The Bighorn has a dry weight of 12,800 pounds and a GVWR of 16,000. Once we have the truck w...
It's our first major destination. What's bizarre is until a couple weeks ago, I didn't know it existed. I'd seen it in "2010, the year we make contact," but I hadn't even a shred of a clue. No, I didn't see the movie "Contact" until last week. I will dine sumptuously in PIE!!! TOWN!!!, crash near Datil and...
We had this issue ourselves. as I was hauling boxes out of storage we opened up our Crystal (that we bought in Germany) and couldn't part with it. so I had to configure a way to safely store them so that they don't break while in transit. so we have a set of long stem wine glasses, Champaign glasses, tumbler...
We stopped by for a night's stay at Nevada Treasure RV Resort. This is the site of thìs years Spring Ŕally.
It's a very upscale resort. The landscaping ìs amazing.
It should be a great location.
We will be picking up our first fifth wheel in March and I was wondering how many of you use a tripod under your fifth wheel kingpin. I have seen some that use them and some that don't. I am curious to hear what some of your opinions are on their value. Our fifth wheel is a 2016 Bighorn 3570RS with 6 point lev...
Hi Everyone,As many of you know, we are having a Boondocking Rally in Quartzsite, AZ March 5 - 12. We will be located north of town off of Plomosa Road. Though the Rally is sold out, any RV-Dreams fans in the area are welcome to stop by for a day visit anytime (although you may want to check with us first to ma...
Hello. I am very new to forums so please pardon me if I am not doing this correctly . My husband and I are in the process of going full-time (about a year and a half out). We have already purchased our truck (Ford F-350 Dually) and are currently researching 5th wheels (boy is it hard). We have made multiple...
We are in need of new tires for our 2013 GMC 3500 Dually. Reading previous posts I see a lot of recommendations for the Michelin XPS Ribbed however when I search for them I cannot find them in 235/80R17 which is what we have on the truck now. Any other recommendations?

We will be spending this summer as first time campground hosts in a state park. My husband is a be prepared kind of guy and had a thought that one thing we might be asked for is band-aids. But beyond that we would be concerned that any first aid might be considered practicing medicine with out a license. So...

We bought a used RV and the metal sidewall is pulling away at the front of the trailer causing a gap inside. Not sure how to seal it back up. Can anyone help?
Howdy folks! My wife and I are in the process of listing our house, buying our first RV, and roaming the country for a year before our daughter starts kindergarten next year. We are VERY fortunate in that my wife works for a health and happiness company and can work from anywhere, as a petroleum geolog...
This weekend I installed something that I feel every RVer should have in their RV. A toilet....not just any toilet but a toilet equipped with a bidet. I have researched for months and finally found the right combination. Due to the design of RV toilets most add on bidet attachments won't work. No on...

It is our first motorhome and first time camping since tent camping around the Southeast during our honeymoon 41 years ago. My wife is retired and I guess I am to. I've been working as a contractor for d...
