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!!

1 year of POI excellence and low clearance avoidance.
Permalink  


One year ago after seeing a horrible bridge collision I decided to
investigate low clearance avoidance tools. After a great deal of
searching, by far the most cost effective solution was to
download a low clearance POI database for my GPS.

There were a few free ones out there to download but they were
very limited in size (around 300 -  500) which isn't much use so I
figured I would risk 20 bucks and get a professionally made one
which had over 3000 low clearance alerts.

I've been so impressed with it that I made several positive
comments on quite a few forums in the hope that other drivers
will follow suit and avoid these potentially fatal accidents.

If you're interested (and you really should be) you can get it from
http://www.lowclearances.com . I use a Garmin but you can also
install it on MS Streets & Trips, Delorme Street Atlas,
Google Earth, TomTom, and Navman.


Safe driving.
