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!!

Make sure you stop at North Trail RV in Ft. Myers. Bought our trailer from them in 2006. No presure from salesman, just valuable help in picking a unit that fit our unique needs.

Service ,both warranty and non-warranty, was outstanding. I would not only buy another unit from them, but will NOT buy another unit from anyone else. They have sales areas for TT, and areas just for MH. (Class A and C)

I have purchased from other dealers in the past, but North Trail is what every RV dealer should be.

I have no connection to them, just a very satisfied customer.

I agree with Cherie that Lazy Days is the place to look and they have many models but not everything. But, because they are a destination there are other dealers close to them, like Freedom RV which sells Newmar, where you can see what Lazy Days doesn't sell. Lazy Days is the master of the time payment, they will do everything they can to sell you an RV with financing. That way they can play games with the numbers, including making any trade in price look better, and still make a bunch of money on each sale.  They also like to push extras that don't cost them that much, but sound really special, like elite clubs and such. Be careful.

   Next week we will be driving down the gulf coast of FL from Cyrstal Rivers to Sanibel. Planning on  staying about two weeks. Visiting family in Cyrstal Rivers and staying with friends on Sanibel Island.

  Thinking about looking at class "A" MHs as we travel. What RV dealers would be the best to stop at in this area?? confuseconfuse

Lazy Days is just outside of Tampa on I-4, and is a very large lot where you can look at a large variety of rigs at once.
