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!!
Hello All, My husband, Dave and I (Candy) are from Iowa and have been RVing in an Airstream since 2001. We are not full-timing it, but on weekends and vacations. We LOVE RVing!! We are considering going full-time once we retire, hopefully in about another year. At that time we want to purchase a 5t...
We had the opportunity to tour four factories this week. My DW and I toured the Airstream and DRV factories together, and we split up at Heartland. I toured the Landmark, Bighorn, and Big Country factory while she toured the smaller travel trailer factory. Most interesting! This is something that e...

We are setting up an 04 Jeep Liberty to tow behind our 37' Fleetwood Diesel pusher w/air brakes. I see supplemental trailer brake systems and I am wondering if they are worth the extra cost?
I want to make a switch From HM to 5er. Main reason is 8 MPG at best, and living space of course.Can anyone suggest a truck and weight of 5er to get best MPG.Gas or desiel I've been told I won't get any better MPG, gas or desiel, I find this hard to believe. So what better place to ask than from good people wi...
I just bought 8 tickets for the Rose Parade next January 2nd. We will probably do the overnight paid parking a few blocks from the parade route, but I'm also looking for an RV park for us to stay at a few days before and after. We are real newbies and will probably be renting an RV for a couple of weeks. (Al...
OK. Me and my wife have come to the conclusion that south Dakota is going to be our home state. We were just wondering, those of you out there using SD as your home state, which cities you would recommend. One of our primary concerns is finding a city or town that has decent health insurance rates. Kim is Ty...
As I noted on the recent active post about state residency selection decisions, it just became super important topic to Evin and me. We just SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!! We have been going back and forth with a young couple through agents for over a week. They came to see the house four times. First time was over a...
Everybody make sure to do a complete safety check before heading out. This headline just reported in Colorado: PARACHUTE - The Colorado State Patrol is looking into a fatal crash that involved an RV and a truck near Parachute Tuesday. Troopers responded to a head-on crash on Highway 6 east of Parachu...
I'm planning on putting a double scooter carrier on the back of my 2008 Georgrtown MH. I feel it might be better than pulling around another vehickle. Does any one think I will run into problems with this idea. I figure my better half and I can ride out 20 to 30 miles out into the surrounding area to see the s...
We have a Motosat Satellite Dish & receive Direct TV & Hughes Net Internet service on it. We have arrived in South Dakota for the summer & are able to lock onto tv but the dish will not lock on the internet & keeps circling round & round. We called Motosat & they had us update our s...

Any good spots you have been along the way, We should visit ? I hope to take 4-5 days to get there. -- Edited by Rusty on Friday 17th of June 2011 02...
Hi Folks! Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I'm Denise. My husband, Todd, and I are fulltimers living in New Market, Alabama. We are currently the camp hosts for Camp MACOBA, a rustic, primative campground that belongs to the Madison Baptist Association. We've lived up here in our 5th...
The sign is up, the listing is on the internet. Feels pretty weird but the house is officially for sale. We have a showing scheduled for tomorrow. Please keep your fingers crossed that it will sell quickly! Cindy T

I'm only getting 8.0 MPG with triton 10 nothing in tow. and that was my best 2008 Georgrtown Can anyone suggest the weight of a 5er and vehickle combo that has worked best for them for the best fuel economy.

Our 5th wheel has gone into the shop for some insurance repair while we are staying at Mike's sister's house taking care of his mother while his sister is away in South Africa. Damage was done when we first arrived in April at the campground here in Rhode Island late at night. The owner knew we were comi...
Well I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to start something on this topic! We have 3 kids ages 14,soon to be 13 and 11. We have been taking them camping since they were small...around ages 4, 5 and 7. We started by borrowing my parents big motorhome then we decided about 4 years ago that we needed our own so...
We've officially passed our 1 month mark of living in our 5th wheel. In a lot of ways we love it but it has had it's moments. Mike at 6'8" is adjusting to itty-bitty living space. I'm adjusting to itty-bitty kitchen. We've been through storms. At first the rain hitting the roof was annoying bu...
I've got a question for everyone. Once we get our house sold, we will be living in a mobile home park for an extended time until we retire. Doing such, it would be nice to have a sewer sytem other than expandable, flexible hose. That way, when the tanks are dumped there would be no holding water in the "...
Not long ago I could add a hyperlink by using the handy little chain link icon in the editor and now it is grayed out and I have to use HTML. But if you try to edit anything with HTML in the visual editor you can easily lose the hyperlink. Am I the only one seeing this? This might have started when I let Windo...
We are in the market for a new 5th wheel and we are considering Carriage RV. What is the Good, Bad and the Ugly of these units?We have both researched them some what on thier web site and it seems to be a well built unit. But we need the people's opinion. Are they worth the extra money or are they just a better...
Anyone wish to share places for us to eat, drink or visit while we stay in the keys this summer? We know about the sunsets, sloppy joes etc but are looking for some out of the way special places you may have visited.
