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!!
We plan to visit Glaicer NP the first two weeks in September and have heard they close the camp grounds that time of year. I am looking for suggestions for a camp gound out side the park. We like to boondock, but don't mind resonably priced camp grounds. We will also be visiting Yellowstone after that, d...

So we left Indiana on 5 Aug en-route to Grand Junction Colorado. We decided to detour down into Kansas just off I70 and pay a surprise visit to our kids and grand kids. When we left there on 17 Aug, I was getting a little worried about the truck performance and climbing up over Vail. Now mind you, we have n...

I was just wondering if anyone travels with fish. How do you keep the tank secure? Is it truely possible to have fish in an RV? I have always wanted to have fish. But I just wonder if anyone else has found a way to have fish and still be fulltime Rvers.
I was sitting outside at the campsite yesterday when a 5W pulled up to a site. The individual dropped a couple boards for leveling one side of his rig and then spent 20 minutes backing up and pulling forward trying to get the tires onto them. After getting into and out of his truck half dozen times to check...

I'm thinking of storage in Florida for Nov- until March. I'll drive or fly down from the NE once a month and use it. I'll tow it to a camp use it then place it back in an outside storage lot unplugged. What should I expect? Should I crack windows and roof vents to prevent mold? I store in CT here in winter and s...

We are a family of 6 and would use it primarily for 3 hour drives to the inlaws and an occasional 1-2 week vacation around the midwest.We have come across a 1994 Winnebago Vectra 31' with a GM chassis and 454 gas motor. The unit is in very nice shape with lo...
We have a 2011 Fuzion 302 5th wheel trailer we just bought three weeks ago and there are lights on the floor as you exit the camper that stay on when the door is open. They shut off when the door is closed but also come on at night and stay on all night. Is this normal and does it drain the battery? The dealershi...

Many are miserably suffering thru the heat wave attacking most of the country. HOT ain’t fun, but perhaps we can make fun of the situation.

This is one of my big questions, I currently live in So. Calif. and by all accounts I know I don't want Ca. to be my home state. But how did you select a home state and if I'm going to buy a 5er and a truck - selecting a state with no sales tax could save me 1 to 7 % of the cost of the unit. Besides the annual smog fees,...
