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!!

Well, we're nearly there.

I moved myself and my son out of an apartment on the 5th floor at one of the businest cross streets in north america.

We are currently in a cottage in a small town while I research which RV(s?) to get to go full time.

I would really appreciate all of your thoughts on which types(s) to get.

Here's what I've researched so far:

I could have a 5th wheel that sits on our property (20 acres in the woods) and a truck with a camper on it.

I've also looked into keeping my little commuter car and putting all my capitol into a 5th wheel.

Another detail is that I'll have to travel 1 hour into the city to work about every two weeks or so, so I'll need somewhere to stay while I'm in the city, but need to balance that with getting good gas mileage. I'm used to my little Toyota Tercel, so I know I'm spoiled. I also want to tour around America with my son as part of our homeschooling (he's 8), or should I say motorhomeschooling!

Well, that's it for now.

Thanks and nice to meet you all!

Lux

Welcome to the forum Lux. Not sure if you already have the truck to pull the 5th wheel or haul the cab-over, so maybe a class C would work and allow you to tow your car behind and save the expense of a truck. Trucks big enough to perform the job will eat a lot gas if you use it for everyday driving for groceries and that trek into the city.

Can't have a truck camper and pull a fifth wheel.  But Welcome to the Forum!

Putting a mobile residence on 20 acres is a good idea.  Easy to hook up easy to leave for a week, month etc. 

There is tons to learn and this is a good place to gain alot of knowledge.
