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!!
Hey all,
Some of the computer forums I frequent have occasional "meet ups". We are attending the Tampa Show on Thursday ( 1-18 ).
Would any forum folks care to meet up, say at the food stand under the tent or or by the slide???

Hello everyone,
We figured it was about time to stop lurking and start posting. Having found this site has been very inspirational to us in that we are hoping to go full-time within the next few years. Like Howard and Linda, we are in our 40’s but don’t want to wait any longer. Wh...
Been waiting for someone to start a thread on the experiences they had over the holidays.
Would take a full page to relate the time in Marina Del Rey with my daughter. We did everything and then some more. The strangest was the daughter tricked me into going with her to get a broken...
Anyone been to Hawaii in Feb. We will be in Cal.. in Feb and we have booked a flight to Hawaii, (Oahu) we are still in search of warm weather. And would really love to see Pearl Harbor. Oh well life is short, and I have been blessed. &nbs...
Hi Everyone
We are Tom (63) and Barbara (60) and we live in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Our home of 26 years goes up for sale next week. Needless to say we are a little nervous, but at the same time we are excited about fulltiming and this new chapter in our lives. We have been planning this for more than a yea...
Don't know how many of you watch RV Today on tv....It was a great 30 min. show that came on Outdoor Life channel that is now Versus channel. Well....when Versus took over, they dropped the show. I really enjoyed it. There are no RVing tv shows out there to watch. I read that many RVers are petitioning to Tr...
Wife and I will be visiting Her oldest Daughter in Salem, Oregon this spring. Any suggestions on a nice place to park 5th wheel for 2 weeks. Have done some search on internet but thought if some one has suggestion We could check it out. Thanks.
I have rececntly read where the NPS is going to close some of its National Park campgrounds, due largely to budget cuts and reduction in campground usage.
The question is since most NPS campgrounds were designed and built years ago and can't take an RV much bigger than 35 feet (or less), and many mode...
I'm considering putting air bags on my truck. Has anyone done this? Is it worthwhile? What should i pay for them? How much to install?
Thanks

Bob and I just got back from Lazy Days RV Center in FL., They have over 1,2oo new and used RV's. You have to see this place. They have a RV park with 300 spaces with full hook ups. A camping world, a cracker barrell and a flying j all on their property. We stayed there for a week had free breakfast...
I like to know, If you don't have a storage/garage to keep your RV or fifth wheel in when not in use, and it stays outside, how many of you cover your RV with one of those expensive covers???
I'd like to know what others out there do. Are they worth the money? Do they prolong the life and look of the exterior...
Does anyone have a source of supply for the Transynd ATF that is used in Allison automatic transmissions. My local Allison dealer sells it in nothing less than one gallon sizes for $39.00 , or 5 gallon pails or 55 gallon drums. I just would like to have a little on ha...
Just wondering which cell company is best. Which one gets best coverage for full time??? We are on Cingular and get great service here at home, but are starting full time (YEA!) in April. It seems that Verizon offers the internet card etc. As you can see,...
Am I just slow in finding this url that has started to show on my SBCYahoo home page.

From what I've seen so far it appears to be another good sourse for maintenance info. The info on steps is interesting because that is what I did to repair a stripped plastic gear i...
Hi all !!!

One of the things I am looking for does anyone know if the vinyl is glued throughout ?

I used some Awesome Orange cleaner (from the dollar store, NOT the full strength version) to remove some black streaks that I always get from the drip rail on the top front side where the F/G cap meets the sides. Sprayed the cleaner on, let it sit for a few minutes and then washed it off, it cleaned the blac...
Let us be among the first!!
In the words of an old Celtic prayer,
May the road rise up to meet you,
and the wind be at your back.
Happy New Year and safe travels.

We've been thinking of taking a jaunt down to Baja for a few weeks, but can't seem to find much information on campgrounds and services available.
Since Jo used to think roughing it was staying at a hotel that didn't have 24 hour room service, I'm treading lightly here.
Anyone been the...
As you know,we're in the process of researching fulltiming in a Class A and were recently discussing all the "stuff" we'd have to get rid of. I can part with most of my furniture and a lot of "junk"...BUT what did you all do with things that you can't part with...like boxes and boxes of pictu...
Okay, it's a new day so here's a new topic.
Often you have to connect two sewer hoses with a plastic coupler. We have one of those red ones but the hoses leak where they join with the coupler. Anyone else have the problem? Any solutions? We tie a plastic bag around where they are joined and then dispose...
Does anyone know what the seminar schedule will be for the Tampa Bay RV Super Show beginning January 18, 2007? We are researching (and seriously considering) fulltiming and want to attend everything we can to gather information.
Also, what, when, and where is the Life on Wheels Univ...
I am always looking for new and interesting things that make RV life a little less cluttered. I discovered some collapsible storage bowls on one of our trips and thought they looked interesting so I bought two different sizes. I lilked them, but they are a little expensive (for storage containers). T...

I bought alot of toys for the grandkids. Couldn't help myself, I'm sure most other grandparents will understand.
Along with the required assembly of said gifts, I learned that it is almost impossible to open the toys from their packages without tools, screwdrivers, knives, cuttin...
Does anyone know of a decently priced RV park in the Fort Myers are for the month of March? We're supposed to meet up with my sister and her husband who have rented a condo there but I'm not paying $1000+. The cheapest I've found is $670 but haven't checked to see if there is space availability yet. Just won...
Received a really thoughtful Christmas gift from one of our sons, a new KOA guide book and $100 in KOA Kamping Koupons. As I looked through the guide, I saw the Circus Circus KOA in Las Vegas now charges up to $109 per night!!!
We stayed there in 2002 and paid $18 per night. Of c...
