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!!

The old Travelmaster trailers


Does anyone remember the old 1950's Travelmaster trailers, or as they called them "mobile homes?"  That's what dad bought back in the '50s and we took that thing all over the southeast.  I was a kid and do not remember what kind of car we had except it was big, blue, and had a stick shift that kept getting stuck in second gear.  That was a direct result of the Lucy/Desi movie's long, long trailer, which I wrote about in another section here.  Some of these trailers were as much as 40 feet and ten feet wide, on wheels.  If you had one, or know about them, can you tell me what kind of car was used to tow them?  I cannot imagine one of today's cars doing so!  Before he passed away, my dad bought a little Airstream to tow beind the car of his dreams, a little red Ford convertible...I think that's why the motor blew out, but since the Airstream was just a silver bubble, maybe 19 ft. long, maybe the motor just gave up in the heat of the trips we took.  smile Forgive me if I'm boring anyone, but I'm journaling and need to jog my memory a bit by asking for information.  Thanks!
