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!!

Mary and I are full time and working on our 3rd month. It's a learning experience but all we can say is "THIS IS GREAT". We started our journey by staying a few days near our old stick and brick house at a nice park. Then we pulled down to Tennessee and have been just a few miles outside of the Smoky...
I had posted here some time back when we were in the process of going full time and we have now been "on the road" for almost 6 months. We sold all of our furniture and gave the kids what they wanted and packed up ourselves, our clothing and supplies needed and here we are with our two dogs.Dave an...
Hey everyone!!My name is Gabrielle. My fiance Presley and I (lesbian couple of 3 yrs), have been looking into RVs, wanting to hit the road and live an adventure!

I have a 10 gallon Atwood water heater. Is there some way to regulate temperature? The water is hot enough to burn. The faucet in our bathtub has started making a whistling noise when we use the shower. It starts when you pull up on the lever for the shower. Can this be fixed or will I need to replace it? Than...
Here is the RV-Dreams Forum Policy on selling, commercial links, and spam.1. Since Linda & I are RVers that have to earn our way as we go, we are sensitive to other RVers trying to earn a living. So, we allow our RVing (or future RVing) Forum members to include links to their business sites in their...
When we set up camp and lower the levelers everything seems fine. All four deploy and level the coach. However after a day or so the front left seems to lose tension and gradually drops that quadrant down. I have checked fluid level and that seems fine. What do I do from here?
I was a full timer for several years up until a decade ago, but there were four people and a dog in the RV. Now it's going to be just me. I have thought, on the one hand, I will miss the interaction of having family with me, but on the other, communication is so much better now with easy access to cell phone serv...

I tried via the forum's "search" function to see if any thread like this one has already been started. However, I didn't find anything. So, I'll add one.The idea of this is for each of us to share tips and fixes that we have done or heard of that will make things easier, safer, or otherwise be...
I was wondering if anyone has traveled from Chicago area to Philly area during this recent snow. I have to pull my 43'er at the end of the week and wonder if there is a preferred RV route. Any suggestions? Kyle

I asked this question on another forum but didn't really get a definitive answer. It seemed most were talking weekend/vacation camping. We won't be boondocking per say, and are currently Resorts of Distinction members so will be utilizing this a lot. We're looking at a Mobile Suites in the 36 or...
I'm curious to learn what some of you are doing for Thanksgiving and Christmas if you are not spending it traditionally with your family. This will be our first holidays away from family. We are going to be in Jamestown/Williamsburg, VA for Thanksgiving. Even though we did not plan it this way, I can't...

I'm currently retired and waiting for the wife to retire in 5 years. We currently have a 29' TT that we use as much as her time off will permit. I usually am able to camp a little more by going to the nearby campgrounds a day or two before her and get set up etc. Once she retires the plan is to get a 5th wheel and s...
We plan to full time by the middle of 2012 and will purchase 5th wheel after sale of our house. In the mean time I have been doing as much reseach as possible. Right now I'm intersted in the basic electrical systems on a 5th wheel. Does any one know where I can get a good description of the elecrical systems t...
Well, this is our new home on wheels. It's a 31ft 1999 Fleetwood wilderness with slideout. Very roomy for the two of us. The previous owner made some repairs that went awry. I am trying to sort them out now. But she is dry and sound. Towing it home for the first time was a scary ride indeed. I was white kn...
