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!!

Should you need to go on dialysis due to kidney disease or failure or for numerous other reasons. You can still have a fairly active lifestyle of RV'ing while on peritoneal dialysis or PD as it is known by. You do have to have a machine about the size of an old electric typewriter and storage area for a 4'x4...

I've been wondering whether to purchase a combination tool box and diesel fuel tank to sit behind the cab. I'm not sure that I really want to add the extra weight, so, I'd like to know what everyone thinks about it. I'm thinking combination fuel and tool box so as to have a little extra room for tools or wh...
Susan the Travel Bug here. I LOVE to travel. Even though I work full time, I go on vacation every chance I get (even if it's not paid). My husband, Bob, took a six-month trip around the U.S. in a Chevy van in the '70s with his then wife and three-year-old son. They worked along the way and stayed with relati...

Just joined the site today and the first thing I saw was I'm considered an RV Dreams "lurker." Heaven forbid, I'm anything but a lurker. I couldn't find any mention of full-timers with cats. We plan to start RV'ing full time in about 3-5 years when we are in our 60s. We have three young cats who...
Currently the Nexaira BC2 is the only router we offer official support on, however, Cradlepoint has released beta firmware for the MBR1200, MBR1000 and CTR500. The downside to any of these solutions was the fact they only worked in a 4G area. We now have a tool available for download, which will allow...

I would like to thank all of you.. I've enjoyed reading this forum for a while now. Thought the wife was on board, but over the past month I notice her resistance to the idea and her demands for FT are beyond what we can afford to do and way beyond what I'm willing to comprise. So short of divorce...I gue...

We are getting ready to leave Florida and head to Las Vegas. Our plan is to take the southern route across the country to hopefully avoid snowy roads.

Retirement is fast closing in on me. I have worked in the auto industry for most of my adult life. With another two years to go I am looking at taking a long trip around the U.S.A. and visiting new places. I don't expect to be full-time in the sense that we want to do this over the period of a year in one gian...

She is the 1/2 owner/office manager a...
We're planning to stay in the Phoenix area near the end of February for about a month. Does anyone have a recommendation of a reasonably priced, quiet place to stay.
