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 RVers. I just found this site tonight. My wife and I retired and moved from Memphis, TN to Pickwick Lake, TN three years ago and we really love the lake lifestyle. We owned a 26 ft. Sunnybrook travel trailer for several years. We sold it with the intention of buying a 5th wheel. Then the move to the lake came up and we held off. Now we own a pontoon boat and a fishing boat rather than a fiver.
A couple of years after I sold the trailer, I got the itch and bought a 10 ft Coleman popup. We don't camp much. Mostly, I think because I just get tired of messing with setting up the popup. It has AC, furnace, fridge, etc. so its pretty comfortable. Just troublesome.
The other day, my wife said she really misses the trailer. It was like her little playhouse. We probably have six or seven strings of decorative lights and all kinds of whirly-gig things. So, that got me thinking about looking around for another trailer. After suffering big-time sticker shock on the prices for a new 18 ft. super-lite of various brands, I'm now looking at good used ones. Apparently, a lot of people have downsized several times so that the little trailers are selling at a premium, actually more than the Sunnybrook cost new.
I belonged to several RV clubs including The RV Club, Good Sam, Escapees, Sunny Travelers, and others that I can't recall. The RV Club was an online forum that was really informative and a pleasure to communicate with people. I learned a lot from some really experienced RVers. A fellow named Howard owned the club. Can't recall the last name and can't find the club online. I keep being redirected to the Good Sam Club.
So, hello to all RV-Dreamers. I hope to keep involved.

Great bunch of people here, so join in and ask questions or leave your comments.
Hope you find that trailer and then maybe we'll catch up with you out here on the road one of these days.

Good luck on getting back into RVing. I agree with Gene...once it gets in your blood it never goes away.
