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 a mental meandering musing..the DW and I have found, so far, the mfg, model and everything else 5er we think would most suit our comfort and needs to join in the RV life style when that time comes. At this time, a question comes to mind about where to purchase our hearts desire. Since we probably wont be spending much time up here in the Pacific Northwest, where we currently reside (will change residence to So. Dakota), it seems to me be it would make more sense to purchase a unit in the Midwest where we are most likely to spend the bulk of our time. This would make access to the dealer for warranty service easier and perhaps general dealer availability easier to access. Some folks we know did exactly this and even got a huge price reduction from what the dealer locally was asking. We've settled, at this time still a few years away, on the Cardinal 3425. We saw this unit at an RV show here in Portland last month. This is a new model and is viewable on their website.

We actually bought our fulltime rig 3 years ago and are not full time yet. We only use it for vacations now but we love it and are getting it ready for full time mode. So, if you don't have to wait for financial reasons, buy where you are and use it and learn about Rving before you go full time.
You might look to buy a brand that allows you to take the rig to any dealer, or mobile tech and get warranty repairs.
We bought our unit in Wisconsin and didn't go back to the selling dealer for almost 2 years, but we had a number of repairs and adjustments through other dealers and techs all over the country, without any problems.
