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!!
I just found this forum and I love it! My husband and I love to camp. We go at every opportunity we have. We live in the mountains of East TN and have so many beautiful places to camp within a 2 hour range. I can't wait to read all the topics on this forum! Also, I would love to introduce my new blog www.campina...

As full time RVers who work as we roam, keeping online is crucial to live our lifestyle. We work remotely online, and are always tweaking our technical arsenal to get the best signal. About a year ago, we had an idea for a mobile iPhone/iPad app to help - so we created it. It's called 'Coverage?' - and i...
Has anyone replaced the 3m film mask on the front of their MH. Mine has some minor damage and I was thinking about replacing it. Not even sure it can be done.

Hi Everyone, I've been lurking around here for a few weeks and am ready to introduce myself. My husband and I have made the decision to RV full-time. Funny thing is, we don't currently and never have had an RV. We just know it's what we want to do. DH is 57 and I am 49. DH is medically disabled and had sev...
What is that saying about life goes on and things change??? Well, I'm not a new member, but many things have changed and I thought it was time for a little re-introduction. When I first joined this forum almost 2 years ago I had a dream of going RVing fulltime. I had a significant other with a 5th wheel and...
One HUGE step closer to our goal of fulltiming! Everything closes on March 16th and we will stick around here in AZ for a 2-4 months in order to get our rig and truck. Just need to finish up with my clients and than it is all open roads for us. It is really exciting to be getting this close. Oh, I still need to l...
We're getting ready to sign up for Direct TV to go along with the sat dish and receiver that New Horizons is installing in our new rig. I've looked through the forums and gotten a bit of info and also reviewed Bill Napier's TV on the Road he gave at the rally in TN last year…but still have a couple of question...
Has anyone had any issues installing the equalizer sway control, 4 point hitch 1000/10000 to an Evergreen Everlite 27RB? Not asking how to install it - just if it fits this unit effectively as I know on some trailers there are location of propane tank, etc. issues. Thanks.
If this is the the place to say hello, then, hello y'all. I don't have an RV but I will. I don't full-time but I will. I'm not a Workamper but I will be. I havn't seen the northern lights but I will. I haven't lived in all 50 states but I only have 46 to go. I'm here because I want to meet and befriend like minded fo...

We made it! Left Florida March 19th and arrived at our final destination April 12th. One year ago this month we were attending our first RV-Dreams Rally. We had been following Howard and Linda's blog for several years. Now here we are! Lots of work and planning went into the transition of working fullt...
We are looking to buy a vehicle to tow behind a 40 ft diesel pusher which we are currently shopping for. These look to be the easiest to tow with all wheels on the ground. They do not indicate any upper speed limit when towing or any fuses that need to be pulled. Any input would be appreciated. We closed on ou...

I am pretty anxious about driving a class A or towing a 5th wheel with what seems destined to be a dually. From your experience, was it difficult to learn? Do you have any tips? I've seen posts about classes for driving the beasts and will be looking for one when we finally get our RV. I also keep wonderi...
My husband and I purchased a 2012 Everlite 29FK. Minor issues have been resolved but have had audio problems since day one. Trailer has a Jensen 19" 12V TV model JE1909 and a Jensen AWM970 stereo. There is a low level hum through both sets of interior speakers when using the AUX2 and DVD. The D...
Just received my copies of the Mountain West and Est Directories. I have a question for MH and/or tractor trailer drivers. In reviewing the directory I have noticed several roads with the warning "Tractor-semis over 30' kingpin to rear axle not advised". How does this warning pertain to...
Hi All, We went RV shopping today. Initially we were looking for a class A but quickly ended up looking at 5th wheels. Two of the makes we like are Komfort by Dutchman and Cedar Creek by Forest River. Does anyone have experience with those makes? We plan to full time. Any information would be helpfu...

Hi folks. I may have a unique chance to get an RV on my hands, but I need some advice from the experts as it needs a major repair. It's a 1985 Winnebago Elandan 32'. The dealer has told me straight out that the engine overheats and that they (the sales team) found water in two of the valves (?) so they believe t...
