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!!

Thoughts on 2000 36' Tradewinds by National RV DP
Permalink  

Looking at a 2000 36' Tradewinds by National RV DP. I know they are out of business. Does anybody have a response in general about this unit? It has a 300hp C6 Catipillar, ALLISON 5 SP transmission, freightliner chassis. It also has a slide out kitchen. (not refrigerator) We are going fulltime and several people tell us to go with a diesel. Any thoughts? Thanks...

Tradewinds were a very solid motorhome during that time. We had a 2002 National RV Dolphin and there were many happy Tradewinds owners at the rallies we attended. That sounds like the standard engine for most Freightliners of that year, it works fine but won't race up and down the mountains.
