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!!

Hi all, I am researching selling my home and buying a 33' Keystone Montana TT with polar pack. I don't want to do dual hauling or I would do 5th wheel. My purpose 2 fold, be debt free in 5 years and be able to move quickly because of computer jobs are scarce and short term. I am concerned about several thi...
Gonna have to make a decision on my truck pretty soon. We've already decided on the fifth wheel (Montana 3400RL) so we know we are towing 15,700 loaded. We have pretty much decided on a 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel quad cab or maybe mega cab. We were pretty sure we would go with DRW and 4X4. Here is the data fro...

I have the Charge Wizard installed in my RV and I am not sure how it works. There is a green light that flashes every 5 seconds and a button next to it that is marked "Mode". When I turn on my house battery the indicator reads "good" but when I start turning on lights or turn on the furna...
Does anyone have a cable stretcher? Seriously, my power cable is about 50 feet short of an electrical box located in my back yard. Trailer is parked in front of the house. I can either purchase a couple of 30 feet extension cables or install a 50 amp recepticle about 60 feet away from electrical panel. T...

It seems like the most common location for brake control units is to the right of the steering wheel and low. While I can still reach my brake control unit, it is difficult to see. Other than testing the emergency control lever, I not had to reach for it while towing. However, due to currrent location, i...
I've had my blog up for awhile, but have been hesitant to post the link. I don't know why, except that unlike most of you and most of the blogs I follow, I just don't think I'm a very good writer. But, here it is: Doris' and Dave's Excellent Adventure! Come and visit sometime! Doris
Spent the last few days working on our new Mobile Suites and wanted to keep very cool. Outside temp was in the 80's so not very hot. I set the thermostat down to 70* but could only get the temp down to 77*. Not much water running off of the roof. What direction do I go from here. The selling dealer is 190 m...
I've seen pictures of 5th wheels that have the tripod (don't know the real name for it) underneath the hitch pin. Is this a necessity or only on some units? Thanks, Mel
I have been tracing a leak for sometime in my motorhome. Today, I decided to take a forum member's advice and check the roof a/c bolts (the 4 under the cover from the inside). Wow! I could move them by hand with little effort. So I got tighten happy...later realizing maybe too happy. I know that if I tighte...

Will the rising gas prices change your plans? We remember when gas was about $4.50 a gal and we drove from NE to TX and it took about $1700 to see our girls. We are to go from FL to MI in a few months and wondering how many will make the trek from east to west or north to south. Will you stay or will you go?

I have a 5er and it seems that when we have to level the trailer ( boards uner one side of the wheels) that the trailer seems to wiggle more when we move around inside. We just use the cheap yellow wheel chocks for the wheels. They seem fine when we are on level ground. Do I need to invest in a better wheel chock...
We need the help/insight of some technical experts. We keep reading the info about the Winegard CarryOut and we can't figure out if it will meet our needs or not. We have 3 HD Dish recievers in our RV. We would like to keep this set up but move to an automatic aiming satelite option. Will the Winegard Ca...

The other night our LP detector suddenly went crazy and woke us at around 4 AM for no reason that I could determine. After 3 rounds of muting and going back to bed just long enough to get back to sleep, I disconnected it. Following morning I read the manual (I only read manuals if I have to) which infor...
