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!!

Hi! ...My name is Millie! :)
Permalink  

 

My name is Millie  

I am 62 ½ years old …waiting for the count-down to age 65, ...when I shall be living and hitting the open road in a 17 to 21 foot motorhome …or ‘preferably’ a camper van with a shower, if I can find one.

My finances are limited …so I’ll be likely looking for a motorhome, or camnper van built in the 80’s.

I will be haunting the mountain areas of Northern British Columbia 


I have lived in a motorhome before 

I have lived in a camper van before 

And, I have lived in a converted-to-motorhome school bus before


The next 2 ½ years are to build-up my finances


The reason I have joined this RV site so early, is to mostly play in the unrelated RV conversations. 


I like music …so I’m going to start a utube music game here.

- Although, I am also interested in everybody else’s experiences in 4 wheeled living.



Soooo ….’Hi’ to Everyone!

Millie: Hope you are not talking about your roof air. That draws I believe between 21-24 amps to start the compressor.

 Thank you for this seriously valuable information, PIEERE

…I will keep-it-in-mind for when I get down to the actuality of insuring I have air conditioning in my future RV.

Thanks.

If you are thinking of buying something in the 1980's to Live full-time in; you may want to think about the repairs most of these will need. Even low-mileage ones will need some repairs and replacement of parts, just because they are older and have been sitting. I know I own an 1988 that I have had since 2005. Luck Mike has experience in locating some good mid-90's units. When your ready contact him.
You could install a smaller window air in a 20' and park in a shady area; if you keep most of the direct rays of the sun off the roof it is much easier to keep cool. I have a 5,500 BTU window air in the central part of the camper and with a small fan can keep it relatively cool when the temps in the mid- 90's outside with high humidity. You also don't want to max out the temperature control as it tends to freeze the coils and it don't perform as well. I leave mine about 1 notch below max, so the compressor cycles. Others may disagree; but it works great for me. Like I say to others; Research---Research--- and do more Research before you jump in this lifestyle. Everything seems rosey until it costs more to repair than what the budget allows.

Millie......buying a decent coach is a simple process.......best deals are north in the snow belts from sept to march.....and southern states from march to sept.

I have also found most coaches in the northern areas are low mileage and cared for very well....they are normally just weekender units.
