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 have started the fulltime lifestyle and are having problems getting DirecTV. When I called them to cancel our home subscription and go to mobile, they said they don't do that anymore. They referred me to Winegard or King Controls. All we want is a portable DirecTV antenna. I know there are peop...
Hello Everyone, I'm not new to this website but it's been awhile since I've visited and there's a few big changes in our life that I would like to tell everyone about and would like to hear other people's similar stories. Our acreage in NW Iowa has still not sold and remains to be a large burden to us as we tr...

In January when I introduced myself, I stated we would be in the class of 2011. Well, 4 months later, the house has sold, we have our rig, I've given notice and we have a camp host gig lined up for the entire summer. Now, it is just a few days until our adventure begins. Thank you all for sharing your experi...

Linda and I would like to wish all of the mothers out there a "Happy Mother's Day" Also, if you still have your mother with you, be sure to wish her a Happy Mother's Day too. Both Linda and I lost our Mothers quite awhile ago, and we sure wish we could call them today. Jim
Hello All, my name is Tom. Some may already know my better half from her website at http://dtraill.blogspot.com/. We met Howard and Linda at Brazoria Wildlife Refuge a couple of years ago and then recently (on their trek to Florida) again at the ???National Park north of Houston a few months ago. It's...
Hello there! I have been following the RV-Dreams Journal for quite awhile now and thought I should join this forum. Currently we are living/working/traveling with a carnival in the Pacific Northwest. This week the carnival is in Sequim, WA on the Olympic Pennisula. This week we had some motor home...
I'm getting real close (weeks) to moving from OH to CA to meet up with my SO and start our RV life. I'm leaving behind my 34 year old son and many belongings. The rest of my family is in NJ, way far away. I find myself alternating between excitement, fear and sadness. Was going through lots of old pictur...
Now that our 5ver is crammed solid with "stuff", I'd like to find out where I'm at with respect to the truck & RV weight capacities. Can someone tell me what to expect when going through a weigh station? Specifically, does it cost anything? If I do happen to be overloaded, are the 'weight...
Hi everyone! As you probably already know, I live in a stationary fiver in an RV park in Half Moon Bay, CA. I gave a bike of mine several years ago to a friend of mine, and she would like to give it back to me. Actually it's a good thing, because it's a great bike and I would like to ride it around here. Howeve...

We were very fortunate to be able to attend the 2010 RV-Dreams Rally in Myrtle Beach. As a result of the wonderful seminar "Every RVer Needs A Blog" by Geeks On Tour, we learned how to create a blog. We are new to forums and blogs, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We plan to...

Did I get your attention? Good! Say we are overnighting for one night in a Cracker Barrel parking lot or in an RV park. One night only. Thought is to put out slides, hook up to shore power and water..perhaps or perhaps not to sewer, depending on need. Do you stay hitched up, unhooking the power from the...
We are a bit abnormal when it comes to our adventure full timing in an RV. We are avid rock climbers and mountain bikers and as a result will have about 300 lbs (I'm guessing on the high side) of climbing gear, bike parts, bike tools and sport specific extra clothing for 4 season play. Right now we are lea...
Have been reading through the forums a bit and it seems like most people here have bigger coaches and 5th wheels. Are there other Class B owners that hang out here at all? Don't mind being in the minority, just curious really :) -- Edited by Vantramp on Wednesday 5th of May 2010 05:46:24 PM
Does anyone ever set up an easy-up, probably with sides, at an RV park, next to their motor home? I do sculpture and have been hoping to figure out how to take it along. I can work outside, but I need a large table area and am vulnerable to wind. I was wondering if I could set up my easy-up tent as a studio spa...
Our 2 yr warranty comes to an end on the "in sevice date" of our 5th wheel (2008 Designer 36RLTS) on May 27/10. We are now facing the question of whether or not to pay $2500 CDN for an an extended warranty for 4 more years called "Secure Trailer" underwritten by the Soveriegn Gener...
I recently discovered thru an email that our friend Scott Gad has been diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus. Scott was at the RV Dreams Rally in Branson and is a poster on this forum.

Does anyone know much about these little suckers. When I switched over from shore power to my new solar power there eminated from the GFCI in the bathroom a low buzz. I was testing my solar power and therefor the switch over. I believe all my electric receptacles are tied into this GFCI as when I turned it...
The house has been on the market only two weeks and we recieved an offer. We countered it because there were a couple items missing from the offer. The counter offer was accepted yesterday.
