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!!

Introduction


Hello everyone...

I'm in the process of moving from the wannabe stage to the mainstream. I'll be putting my home up for sale after Christmas. I'll be purchasing my first RV then. I have a photo project that will probably take 1 to 3 yrs to complete that will take me to every region in the country. I don't plan on rushing it. If it takes me 10yrs, that's fine too.

I think I've researched the full-timing life enough to know what to expect and don't feel any trepidation about the downsizing. I pretty much feel as Howard and Linda do, that at some point, life becomes more important than work. While I know my son thinks I'm in need of a good psychiatric exam he's coming around to accepting the idea. I keep telling him, I'm not starting anything....I'm simply finishing what I started 42 yrs ago before life got in the way.

Hopefully, I'll get to meet some of you if/when our paths cross and we can swap lies over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. In the meantime, I'll still be here envying you.

Denny

Well we are just looking for our starter home that will fulfill our needs for at least three years...  If we still want to do this in three years I figure we will know for sure what we need by then...biggrin

Thank you all for your comments...hopefully I'll get to meet each of you one day. I've always been a bit of a vagabond and while settled in a stick & brick place, the road is really the only place I've ever felt at home. Much of my career was a lot of traveling so when at home I felt strange. In fact one position I had for about 7-yrs I was on the road from Sept through May...then off for the summers. By July...I couldn't wait to get back on the road. Kerri...I don't want it selling to quickly. Believe it or not, I actually have a plan. I am a little ahead of schedule on the plan so I'll list the house Dec. 1st. rather than after the holidays. So...I guess I'm maybe 3 or 4 weeks ahead. Can't wait. Again...thank you all for your kind comments.
