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!!

This morning I was taking a walk around the job site and spotted a coyote. The job site is in the middle of one of the most populated areas in Southern California. It is on top of a hill so there is some open land with brush and trees. In 10 years of coming to this site that is the first larger than a squirrel an...

Has anyone taken the plunge and tried Binge On thru T Mobile? It sounds great in that you do not use your data to watch tons of shows. My question is, if I have to buy a 4G LTE tablet which one should I get and can I stream it to my TV with any of them? Carol K
I realize if we have any emergency issues on the road we can get medical or dental care. Yet I am concerned about routine medical checkups and dental cleanings? If we are going to be on the road full time, I am curious how other people take care of these needs. I guess we could always go back to our embark fro...

Another couple went with us to PPL yesterday. First time visit for all of us. WOW! First the good. There is a huge selection and prices seem reasonable. The greeter is excellent at juggling many things at once, and she must be able to remember everyone who has ever been there. She gives each group a map an...

We will be moving soon to Soldotna, AK from AZ. My question is...Should I buy a fifth wheel from Phoenix, which looks to be cheaper or buy a fifth wheel in Anchorage? Also, I plan on installing a Quadra Fire Castille pellet stove in the rv for heat. Has anyone installed a pellet stove in an rv before. And I h...
We have been camping in our Coachmen Catalina Class C for over 15 years and each trip or camp out never seems to last as long as we would like so we are considering taking a year out and enjoying the USA. Our 2 oldest are now in college and we just sold our house (living in a rental until we decide what to do) so...
