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!!
Sorry, but Howard and Linda have ALREADY been in newsprint. Check out their journal archives for September 7, 2005. A news article about their relief efforts following a hurricane.
Also, while I can't remember when it was, I'm thinking there was also a magazine article or something done about them.
Oh, and Howard. I expect to see shined shoes.
Terry

I tuned in about 7:20 pm, Arizona time, so I missed the first 1/2 or so. Since I've never met either Howard or Linda, I loved the accents! I forgot their from the South. I liked the interaction and information they provided but the time seemed to rush by since there was an RV salesman talking as well, creating a 3-way conversation.
One point I thought worth noting, since the radio host was all about "life changes," Linda and the host made a good point of evaluating your life and deciding where you & your spouse, significant other, or yourself want to take your life and to put a plan into action to accomplish that goal. The hosts didn't simply endorse the RV lifestyle for everyone, but certainly endorsed lifesyles that two people wanted to pursue together that would bring more simplicity to their lives. Interestingly, today on the Glenn Beck show he noted that he is simplifying his life in tagging much of his unwanted/unneeded personal property around his residence and auctioning it off for a charity. He is "freeing" himself from stuff. I believe there's a thread on this forum addressing this issue. Enough of the side-note.
Thanks both Howard & Linda for your time on the air ... although when I picked up on the broadcast, I primarily heard Linda, with Howard occasionally injecting his thoughts.

This was a first for me, I listened to the show via my iPhone. I had things to do so I was able to carry on with an ear bud in my ear. I finished my tasks about the same time the show ended.
I only wish my DW heard the first answer Linda gave....it provided a great answer to the why do this (RV Lifestyle) question.
Both of you did great. I'm surprised the hosts didn't ask about the financial aspects of a fulltiming lifestyle. It will be a good topic for next time.

I got to hear the whole thing. For those of us who have read everything Howard's written, there wasn't really anything new. But it was great to actually hear your voices. I wished it had been longer with more from you guys, but it was excellent! Just not long enough.
