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!!
Dave and I have been on the road for less then a month....April 25th will be our month anniversary! Even though we have lived in our 5er for a year, it has been in one spot just outside where our S&B's was. Being on the road AND not having regular jobs is sooooo very different. I have, of course, lear...
Found this informative tutorial and spreadsheet for calculating the true towability of a truck/trailer combo. A real help for buyers. Might even be worth running through even if you think you have this topic all sewed up... Happy towing... http://www.klenger.net/arctic-fox/weight -- Edited b...

We're considering starting a food business on the road to make money to travel. We would try to attend RV shows, boat shows, home shows and fairs (larger). Is there anyone out there that already does this? We've done some research, but we're having trouble with the rules for selling food from a &quo...

Newbie here again. Busy getting ready for our first cross-country trip and a bit perplexed about having enough power to dry-camp for 3-4 days at a time. We have a 36ft 5th wheel.

I saw in yesterday's forum that Linda is having problems with her Keurig. We have had a Keurig for a couple of years and we really like it but it does require cleaning of the water ports with a paper clip from time to time. We had purchased the reusable filter basket so that we could use different coff...
All: I am new to this. I have a popup camper. My problem is with my propane system. When I use the gas stove in my camper, sometimes it works, but sometimes, it does not. I know my propane tank is not empty. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Twister

Okay, so since a lot of people don't seem to like FaceBook (where we'd originally wanted to do all our blogging), we've made a blog. We also want to start reading other people's blogs as well. The link to the new blog is: http://jonesjournies.blogspot.com/ I've only managed to put up two posts. A b...
I noticed that I mistyped my forum name as laubental when I registered instead of laubenthal as it should be. Is this something that can be fixed or do I just need to re-register with the correct info? Thanks.
This is mainly directed toward those of you that are currently full-timing. How are you compensating for the increase in gas/diesel prices? I know the typical answer might be sit longer in one place but is that enough? Are there any other pointers and hints as to how to cope with this ever increasin...

Well folks, Some of you know, we came back from our "road-life" because of the cold winter affecting even normally warm areas of the South. It was a tough break and we really hated doing it. The camper hadn't been ready when we left, so we thought we could make it until the summer, camping o...

Well, we talked about it, we watched others with them, we just never really thought we would really be pet parents. Until, we went to the Dr. and he suggested getting a dog because they eleviate health conditions and they are constant companions. We talked with one of our daughter's, who had just be...

Hi Got an o5 Winnie with a norcold Elect/Propane refig. works great but when I plug it into my outdoor 115VA GFI protected outlet with the frig on it trips the GFI, turn the frig off and everythings hunkey-dorey. The elect part of the frig is nothing more than a heater element that heats the amonia solu...

Woke up this morning and the "cute and fuzzy bunnies" were out in the yard feeding... I love the fact that tinted privacy windows allow you to get close to nature. We have deer, the bunnies, and birds that visit now and then. Unlike house glass where they spook as soon as you appear, they her...
