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 will be 62 solo woman in 5 yrs when I retire and go FT. Just wondering if any out there that can give me the good, bad, ugly of doing it alone. Im sure I can learn how to hookup everything in due time. Was also wondering how long it took to get the RV ready once you pulled into a new spot.
Sherry and I are spending our first Christmas as full timers in Texas. We are parked in Guadalupe River Rv Resort in Kerrville till January 4th. Then we will move down to Mission. This sure beats the Indiana winters. Merry Christmas and Safe travels where ever you may be.

Did a search but didn't find the information. I am interested in purchasing a pretty heavy 5er (20,000 # GVWR) and was wondering if I decided to go MDT (Sport Chassis...etc) or HDT (converted Volvo 610...etc) if it would require a Class A license. Thanks
