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!!

Hello from Vancouver Island
Permalink  

After following this forum for the last 4 months ... and becoming addicted ... I think it is time I finally introduce myself!
My name is Angela and my husband Don and I are hoping to sell our house in the next couple of months and live fulltime in a 5th wheel.  Hopefully we will be able to travel south in the winter and back to Canada for the summers.
We have spent the last 4 months looking at various 5th wheels and also at motorhomes and think that the 5th is the way to go for us.  At this point I think we have narrowed down our choices to either the Landmark Augusta or one of the Cameo's by Carriage. 
Our only RV experience up until now was with a 21 foot Class C on weekend trips, so we have lots to learn. 
I am sure we will have lots of questions as we get closer to realizing this dream.  I have already learned a great deal from following this forum and have been really impressed with how helpful and friendly everyone is.  Hopefully we will be on the road soon and may get to meet some of you one day.

Welcome Angela and Don.

Many Canadians spend the winters in the Southern U.S., so you will not be alone.

If you've RVed in a class C, then you already have the basic knowledge of how an RV works. That should help. Most of the systems on a 5th wheel should be basically the same.

Be sure to ask the friendly folks on this forum if you have questions. Most are willing to help in any way they can.

Jim

Hello!
Vancouver Island was where we took our first long RV trip once we bought our first rig in 2002!  Such a beautiful place you live!

As Jim said, there are many Canadians down in California & Arizona this time of year - in fact, we spent last summer in Canada & learned that Arizona is actually a province in the winter! smile

Enjoy all the information you'll find on Howard & Linda's website - they ahve been very generous with their information & have helped many of us along the way.

Welcome & Happy Travels!

Hey Girl...Sherri and I welcome you to the forum and hope that you visit us frequently. We need more input on the forum and we love the news and information from our northern neighbors. Many of us plan on traveling to Canada in the future and your input would be greatly appreciated.

Joe and Sherri
