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!!

We did it! The last few weeks have been amazingly blurry but with great joy! 

We decided to sell our camp trailer, we lived in it last season but it just wasn't going to work this year, so we bought a new one!  A 4 -season, with washer/dryer, heated underbelly, beautiful and oh wonderfully home.  We got everything signed for it and left it so they could get it ready.  That was on Friday.

On  Sat. morning, I was looking at the job site for KOA and applied for a job I knew we could do, as we are newbies to Workkamping.  The KOA called and offered us the job!  So, in one week, our lives changed drastically.  We gave up our stick and brick 2 mo. earlier than planned, gave up our full time great paying jobs for working on the road, and we are on our way.  We had been looking for over a year at the jobs, but never applied, we just weren't ready.

Let me give a bit of a back ground I just found written down yesterday.  In 2008, we wrote out our goals to be accomplished by 2013.  Be debt free - done, to have jobs on the road - done, to have a CDL still - done, and a few others, done.  Everything we set in motion has become a done deal and the last thing was leave our great paying jobs.  We are. 

We are in the process of selling what's in storage and completing my degree.  I talked to a Christian sister and she knew months ago, without me saying anything to anyone about leaving.  She knew.  Blew my mind! I don't know why it did but ... wow!

So, April 28th is our last night, we say goodbye to over 100 children and their families. We leave for OKC on the 29th and start when we get there.  We are so excited, not missing a paycheck and having a slight savings.

With your attitude you will do great!

Isn't it great when things just "fall" into place.

Well, since we live in the Oklahoma City area, I guess I must bid you welcome.

Good luck in all your efforts.

Terry

You will have to stop by the OKC KOA East in 7 weeks and meet us.  We look forward to the dream and meeting so many new people!

We are so looking forward to the New Adventure!

We have been living in our rig, last year for 6 mo. when the weather was not freezing, and then moved to a stick and brick until we bought our new rig.  We have cleared out our storage - that was the most difficult!  Sent lots of stuff to kids to have and to hold, after all it was theirs anyway. 

Realizing that stuff can own you or you can own your stuff!  It's just the books that we have that you can't just stick your finger on and zap - zoom - awhh- suck in the knowledge doesn't work, gotta read them! 
Took a bunch of stuff to half price books and got very little for 100s of CD, DVDs and a few books. 

We are 5 weeks away, having to give notice in 3 weeks - just keep going over that senerio a gazillion times and not sure how it will be received or understood by my kids.  We have been really important in the lives of children and to leave them, will be the hardest! 

Thanks for the support, if anyone understands it's here.
