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!!

Yes, take your car. If it is high clearance and/or four-wheel drive even better. There are lots of places to explore in the car and not the motorhome.
The main advise I always give is not to be in a hurry, especially in the areas with bad roads. That sometimes means 20 to 25 mph (30-40kph). That reduces the chances of damage to your motorhome from rocks and frost heaves. Be ready to boondock, be prepared for long daylight hours.
Stock up on groceries in major towns, like Grand Prairie, Prince George, Anchorage, Soldotna and Fairbanks, the small places charge higher prices. Whitehorse is expensive but much cheaper than Watson Lake. A extra cooler to hold fridge items for a few days will be useful.
Be prepared for sticker shock on fuel in northern BC and Yukon.
Keep a camera ready.
