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!!

Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks, NC


I wonder if anyone could provide some travel insights, experience, tips, where you camped, route followed, etc.  We are looking to travel north this summer from Charleston, SC through North Carolina into Virginia.  I have always been wanted to see Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.  We have a 40ft. motorhome and tow a Jeep.  We would love to hear from anyone who has explored this area and would be willing to share your experiences.  Thank you very much.

FreeToRoam,

We have been up through that area a few times. The last time was 3 or 4 years ago, but we are planning on heading up through there again in April of this year.

The light houses in the Outer Banks area, (there's more than 1), are very interesting. We enjoyed Kitty Hawk and the Wright Bros. memorial, the Fort Raleigh Historic Site in Manteo, and of course, the beaches.

In the past, we have stayed at commercial campgrounds, (very expensive), but this time, I think we'll try out the National Parks. I have done some research on the ferry system, and come to the conclusion that you can take the ferry for less cost that it would take to buy the fuel to drive around Pamlico Sound to get to the Outer Banks from the Morehead City area. http://www.ncdot.org/transit/ferry/routes/schedule/route005.html will give you info on the ferry system.

We really enjoy the whole SC. NC, VA area, and there's lots to see and do all along the way.

Have a great trip,smile

Jim
