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!!
Why is it necessary to place planks or strips of wood under the tires on RV vehicles when parked? I understand the reason for wood under the leveling jacks and can only assume that the same practice should be used to prevent the RV from settling. Any information and suggestions on what is the best materi...

We left Las Cruces on May 21st for the summer out in our fifth wheel. We had a great 3 weeks in Cloudcroft NM even after a week of camping with our 3 oldest grandchildren.

My #2 gray water tank showed full. Opened dump valve confirmed some liquid draining through hose. The monitor still shows the tank to be 2/3 full. Any ideas why?

We listed our home with a realtor this week. It will go on the market on the 4th of June. So, now we are serious about our purchase of a motorhome.

Well, we have spent five nights in our new fifth wheel. It has been fabulous!! We took delivery on Aug 22. We are so happy with our Americana. The quality of workmanship is wonderful. Several of our "stick" house neighbors took the tour when we were parked out front of the house loading up all...
Well, in the final analysis I have decided to forego the flat real estate market here for now and rent my house instead of waiting for it to sell. Very serendipitously, my daughter, who lives nearby, has branched out into property management at the same time. So lucky me, I will be able to leave it in ve...
So here we are in beautiful GREEN Pennsylvania, our birthplace and we hate it. Since moving to New Mexico 12 years ago we have become acustomed to sunny skies and dry climate. We are here visiting family and friends and rented a FHU site at Treasure Lake in DuBois, Pa. We planned to stay here a month but if...
How do you clean your wood floor? Do you use a Swiffer or something like that on the floor? Is there a wax that you can use occasionally? Also, do you use rugs in your rv on top of the carpet? Any suggestion as what kind and where to get them? Thanks for any suggestions. Jeanne

I have to say, I have never been in a place with so many Judys. Must be the age group. It is a dying name but it may come come back-who would have thought Grace or Hazel would become popular again? All you Judys, lets hear from you! Maybe we could have a Rally!

I have a 95 Travel Supreme fifth wheel with electric brakes. I don't like the jerkiness when braking, I can't seem to get the brakes to brake smoothly. Is this common? Does anyone have disc brakes on their fifth wheel and how do they perform? I am going to search the internet for other posts but I thought I...
We also have a Splendide vented unit in our motorhome, but I have not used it as yet as we just bought the MH. I have not read anywhere which laundry detergent is best to use with it. Any suggestions? Thanks Arlene

I am considering buying a pressure pro. Has anyone found any place to buy one at a good price? I saw that Flying J had one advertised for $582, is that a good price or should I look elsewhere? Do the sets come with enough sensors to handle all the tires on a fifth wheel rig, -truck and trailer?
