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!!

Has anyone found a reliable shredder-y'know, one that actually shreds?

We have a small one we got at either Staples or Office Depot. The hole is the size of a CD/DVD and it can shred those and credit cards. To shred an 8x11 paper you fold it in thirds. Shred for 5 minutes, let it cool for 10 and it has been going strong for about 3 years. It comes with its own basket for the shred. It is labelled an "Executive Disk Shredder".

I found an eight-page, cross-cut shredder at Staples (SPL-826X) that has it's own "see through" basket (So you can see when it is getting about full). It also has a slot for credit cards. I have been very pleased with it as I clean out our files in preparartion for full-timing. It has not over heated yet. As I recall it was $50. or so.

Just to follow-up.  I bought a Dynex cross-cut shredder (DXOP7CC) at Best Buy for 29.99 and so far it works like a charm! I've had it a couple of months now.  So if anyone else wants to buy a shredder, this seems to be a good one for household use.
