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 there! After finally getting around to reading thru Howard and Linda's RV Forum, decided to avoid being a 'Lurker"! My name is Sherry and the hubby's name is Mark. We've lived in the Dallas Texas metroplex our entire lives and currently live just East of downtown Dallas. I just retire...
We have two TVs in our house; we are thinking about ordering 3 or even 4 in our Class A. Is that nuts? Do you use all 4 or do you wish you had not gotten one for the outside, one in the windshield, one by the refrigerator.. Any thoughts? Thanks Randy and Pam
We will be leaving for Florida December 5....as Larry's last day of work will be December 4. He will be retired and off we will go as fulltimers, and we are so happy, and excited. We've got the MH packed and ready, and other than filling the refrigerator with stuff we are ready to roll. After 38 years wi...
We're on our way to Rockport/Port Aransas area for a few days on our way down to the Rio Grande Valley and wondered if you guys had some good recommendations of campgrounds in that area.
Was reading some campground reviews and had to let ya'll know about The Ponderosa in S. Central CO. It is on Hwy 17 about 15 miles west of Antonito. Beautiful campgrounds, backs up to national forest, on the Conejos river (with lots of trout). They are closed now. I think they reopen in May. You do n...
Saw this on another website and bought a couple. It is an inflatable wedge pillow. Really comfortable (think it was designed by a physiotherapist) and deflates for easy storage when not in use. We use them outside and on the couch when watching TV. You can check it out at www.wondawedge.com. L...

We are still trying to sell our home and are getting very nervous if we will ever sell to go fulltiming.. my question is, i have since gotten bad acid reflux.. I have had it for years and take medication but now it just seems as if i have a lump of peanut butt...

Hi All, We went to the Hershey show and found that some of the fifth wheels had hydraulic slideouts while some of the full time fifth wheels have electric slideouts.I know New Horizons, Carriage... had electric while Excel, Doubletree had hydraulic slideouts.Talking to the "dealers" t...
I know this will be hard for many of you to help without actually seeing our problem but was just thinking that maybe someone had experienced the same thing. We have a 5th Wheel. The carpet by the steps going up to the bedroom is getting wet. We can see no water on the walls any where and of course the under...

I am interested in your thoughts and recommendations regarding extended warranties. I have never been a supporter of extended warrenties for cars, however a house on wheels is a different animal. We drive a Winnebago Diesel...your thoughts? Thanks for the input!

Hello Howard I had just asked you some questions in another post about your electrical and solar system. That post was called generator size with solar system.You and Jack Mayer gave me some great information. You two must have a lot of patience dealing with unknowledgeable peoples questions su...
I believe I have already settled on the Fifth Wheel as the most suitable for my needs...what I am confused about is tow capacity. I hear conflicting remarks on what truck should be used with what fifth wheel. I want a fifth wheel I can tow easily with no more than a F350 truck. But, I need a fifth wheel that i...

Has anyone done or seen a box truck (i.e. Ryder or similar moving type truck) converted into an RV? If it is done right it would look just like a factory RV, have plenty of head room, and be affordable and durable.

Hi folks, I was reading the recent posts and someone mentioned moving into a parkmodel, in one of their favorite spots, when they decided they'd had enough of the road. The question is this, has anyone out there done this? It does seem like a good alternative to quitting the lifestyle, at any po...
Hi Howard We were reading the section you wrote about phasing in the solar system.You said you bought your Onan 5500 when you bought your fifth wheel and something about not really knowing any better....being new to rving..What would you have done different, in hindsight?Do you still need as big a g...
Jo and I took a trip last month with two purposes. One was to take pictures of Fall foliage in NE Oklahoma and Western Arkansas. The other reason was to check out a Mobile Suites 38 foot fifth wheel on an Arkansas dealer's lot. (His was the only dealership in about a 350 mile radius of Oklahoma City that...
