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!!

Just Admitting it!
Permalink  

As my musician husband said recently....we've moved more than a dozen times in 21 years (not to mention all the travel when we're not moving)...let's just admit we love new experiences and that we both have the "road gene"...so let's get a rig and go for it.

Reading this forum has been invaluable with tips, info, and most of all in making us realize we're not completely crazy to go down this path. As I paid $173 today to get our sprinkler system fixed, I was once more reminded of why I just don't want to deal with a stix/brix place.

Looking at a Phaeton. Hope to "do the deed" by year-end.

Deb

 Welcome to the Dreamers Family.  We know how you feel, every time we make a mortgage payment, utility bill payment, or as you repairs, I can't help to think how far that money could have gotten us down the road.

Welcome to the forum! smile

I'm sure that you already know that there's a great bunch of people here that are more than willing to help you in any way they can, so be sure to ask questions if you have them.

Good luck with your dream.

Jim

Before we finally hit the road, someone made a comment about the cost of diesel needed to travel. My reply was I could either pay $3.00 a gallon to travel or $3.00 a gallon for fuel oil to heat the house and sit in it. My preference? $3.00 to travel. No competition!

That's awesome, I love it!   It really is all about how you look at things.
From a purely objective point of view, one is really just trading one set of circumstances for another.  The difference being which one will make you more fulfilled and happy, that's the trump card!

First, welcome!!! You will find this a great place to meet some really wonderful folks.
It is a great forum!!

You are looking at a great motorhome....good luck on finding the one you want.

We are so glad we no longer own a sticks and bricks and hope that we never do again. There is an awesome freedom that you feel being relieved from that responsibility. I loved my home...it was beautiful but I don't miss it. Our new home (motorhome) enables us to travel and see this great country. It is a trade-off and one I'm glad we made.

Good luck and look forward to seeing ya down the road one day soon. :)

Welcome, I will be a fulltimer effective tomorrow.  Making the transition as we speak.  Thinking of the last time on some bills, however it is a tradeoff.  I welcome the more simple life and freedom.  Good luck to you all.
