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!!

Hi everyone.... newbie to rving and looking for the right rig to travel at least half the year. We'll be keeping our home in the Florida Keys b/c it rents well as a vacation rental. OK, now back to my questions.... we really like the Cyclone 3950 cuz it has a great garage area for the motorcycle and extra storage PLUS it houses a half bath, washer/dryer hook-up, AND a beverage cooler (option). My concern is the tow vehicle. We currently have an F250 diesel and I think we need something more powerful, although the sales guy said we'd be fine. Also, if anyone has any suggestions on toy haulers, we are definitely open.

You need to know the weight you will be towing including whatever you will be hauling.toys, a boat, etc. Go from there with the right tow vechicle. Some toy haulers alone do not weigh much. Also if you are getting a double axle or triple axle.

We have a 38 ft , 3 axle toy hauler that we pull with an F-350 dually with a Banks chip. I wouldn't consider pulling it will less than an F-350 or Dodge or Chev 3500. If I keep the toyhauler for a few years I might even move up to a F-450. The F-350 does a great job though.
