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!!

RV's in So Cal today

New Years Day and have been driving out of the LA Basin to the 10 Freeway past Palm Springs. In oncoming traffic, every 4th or 5th vehicle is an RV heading West. Makes me wonder if there are that many ahead & behind us going east? Perfect travel day for us as traffic is very, very light. Sherry & Jesse

 Yip,, we took I-10 from quartzsite to Indio this morning. Traffic was pretty light but there certainly were a lot of RV's. Since we checked in here at Indian Waters I have seen about 7 more come in after us. And we ahve only been here less than 2 hours.

Dave & Diane, it's supposed to warm up there this week. Hope you enjoy it.
Mike headed home where we heard we had snow this week but nothing like you had!

We are in SoCal but the nights are in the 20s at 3,200 feet (Hesperia CA). We are really looking forward to getting to a warmer and lower elevation location for the winter, Mesa AZ.

Hey WestWardHo,

Did they happen to be "toyhaulers"? Big two weeks out in Glamis and Anza-Borrego Recreation Areas for buggies, bikes, quads, Jeeps, etc. Many, including us, headed home on New Years Day. We spent 10 days in the Truckhaven area of Borrego with friends.

Regards, Howard

Reminds me of when I was visiting family in North Carolina early November and drove down to Orlando to visit other family.  Going down I95 it looked like every 4-5th vehicle was and RV heading south to Florida.

Best New Years we've had was out in the Desert for an off road race. Big celebrations with large bonfires everywhere. Lots of used Christmas Trees were burned, they gave off fireworks like sparks each time one of them went up.

It was great to wake up on Jan 1 to a beautiful sunrise and watch the Rose Parade from a cozy TT. That was the first time I learned the value of being able to get satellite TV while boondocking.

Howard, some were toy haulers for sure, but many were small TT's, 5'ers and even all sizes of motorhomes, campers and pop ups. Guessing many leave SoCal for any holiday as I used to do when I lived there.

Kind of looked like Quartsite during February, where you've never seen so many RV's coming & going!
