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!!

The RV industry lost another manufacturer.


RV Industry Downturn Claims Pilgrim

Six years after Pilgrim International Inc. started producing towables and less than one year after introducing a recreational vehicle made from a new composite material, David Hoefer Sr., one of the founders, told the Elkhart Truth, “It’s over.”

The Middlebury, Ind.-based manufacturer ceased operations in August, laying off nearly 180 employees, and on Sept. 22 filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

That is a real shame. I own a Pilgram product.. Open Road and it is one of the finest RVs I have owned...and this makes the 12th RV. The quality of workmanship and materials are as fine as you could ask for. I will be in the market for a new unit in about 5 years and I am sorry that they wont be around to offer me a new one. Oh well I am sure many more will fall by the wayside before it is all over but then that is the way it goes in bad times. Let us all hope that no one manufacture has cornered the market by then. Competition is what makes RV manufactures build good products. I would hate to see that competition go away and leave us an undesirable field to choose from.
