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!!
Is this something everyone just gets or does it really work ? Our new home feels solid as a rock but all the other fulltimers in the park we are at have either a tripod or bipod setup on their kingpin. While we are on the subject, how about those wheel locks ? You know the ones that look like a automobile sc...
We have friends that are camp managers at Yellowstone and are putting out a HELP wanted to anyone that would like to workcamp between April and Oct. Any length of time is fine.

Whereas you have a truck and a fifth wheel, do you tow the jeep or follow behind. I know it soulds like a dumb question but I have wittness people towing trailers with boats being towed behind the trailer. Buy the way, I am new to your site and I found it to be one of, if not the best so far. Keep up the good work....
We stop at a lot of truck stops and rest areas.We have been running the generator for 3 or 4 Hr to have TV is this ok or should I install a inverter if I do do I need exter batteries and what kind of inverter do I need
We have two HDTV"S in our 5th wheel and I am able to get a stronger signal on the living room TV than the bedroom set. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this in their rig and whether it would be caused by the length of the cable from the booster to the TV, or the tuner in each se. Thanks, LIKENIT
I have been wondering if our Realtor was ever going to get a contract to us and get the For Sale sign out front! We started talking to her a month ago and it seemed nothing was getting done. So, GC took this morning off to talk to the people putting the foundation in and she brought the contract for us to sig...
We have a 2006 37ft pace arrow a lot of the time we stop for one night and only want to put the tv on for 3 or 4 hrs.We have been running the generator to get tv is it better to get the inverter installed or just run the generator every night.
Last year we bought a Garmin streetpilot C330 for our first extended trip to the southwest. Worked fine. Now this year we have purchased the tripod sat. dish for starchoice & Internet. Just realize that the GPS unit does not show the Lat & Long. I called their info line and was told not al...
I am considering the 2008 Microsoft Streets & Trips with GPS, but wonder how we will be able to see the screen. I have a DEll Inspiron E 1505 laptop and it is difficult to see the screen in daylight. Am I missing something about my screen readability in light? Thanks, LIKENIT

HI I'm in need of some help. I work for a RV manufacturer and we are looking at making a few floorplan that would be accessible for someone in a wheelchair.

First I would like to thank Howard and Linda for sharing their trip with us all. It is just wonderful that you take the time to post the journal entries so we can keep up. Second, I would like to thank whomever donated to help defray the cost of the internet access during the cruise. Never thought an intern...
Hi All - Just wanted to introduce myself before I jumped in and started trouble in the forum! Angie and I are fulltimers of almost one year! Our first ten months have been the most incredible adventure of our lives. We are looking forward to many more years of this. I work full time from the back of my Monac...
OK, we have the tri-pod, dish for tv/internet. Two coach batteries. If we hope to dry camp for 5 days at a time, what can we expect to be able to use.? Can we simply purchase an inverter to run the modem? The laptop of course can run on battery. I'm assuming we will not be able to run the tv though. ...
Hi... My husband and I are started the research into full timing. We missed the Hershey show this year - daughter's wedding, but would like to try to get to one sometime, somewhere. We are going to be in Tucson in March. Does anyone know of any rallies or rv shows near Tucson? thanks, Loralie
Howard, Your treatise on Social Security was great! Thank you. The maximum wages that are taxed for social security are something like $85k. If you earn $100k for a few years, is that counted into the total wages, or do they cap it at $85k each year for the sake of the calculation. Thank you!

Ok, I don't post a lot, but I'm in the cleaning up and selling portion of our "getting ready" to fulltime. I just found several board games. I can sell, donate or take them with us. Now, if I take them with us, do people still play board games, like monopoly, Trivia, Yatzee, backgammon...
How are the following items usually handled when part-timing?
Closing up the house, i.e. water, thermostat, etc.
How do you handle bill paying if on the road for a couple months, mail?
What else have I not mentioned?
thanx
After reading numerous posts on numerous forums, I bought a Food Saver at Costco yesterday. I haven't opened the box yet. I guess I'm still trying to justify purchasing it. I've gotten along just fine with ziploc bags all these years and probably could continue to do so. The only purchas...
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this topic, but it was a tossup between this one and Finances.We need your feedback and information on RV insurance to cover our new Winnebago Adventurer. The vehicle is registered in Ontario, Canada. We both have an Ontario driver's licence. I received a q...
