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!

 

It is me and my two tiny micro-teacup dogs in tow (Elliot and Muffin). I've been looking at everything from the Chalet hardside popups to the TravelManor folding RV to the Chalet Truck Camper to used Class C's. I don't feel safe tent camping anymore but I want to feel comfortable driving whatever it is and being able to drive away from trouble. I'm NOT handy and having owned BMWs forever, I'm not used to breakdowns of any sort so that would freak me out. 

I am hoping to read, research and enjoy this forum and make an informed decision when I make my first purchase (realizing that I will probably learn lots from that and re-choose later). 

Thanks for reading this (if anybody has!) :)

Welcome!

There are so many options out there, it can be overwhelming to try to decide what is right for you.

Are you looking to full-time? If so, you may want to steer away from pop-ups and folding RVs. The setup and take-down process may be too much to do on a full-time basis.

Welcome to the forum, look into Tiger Motorhomes, these are basically truck campers, the main difference is the access from the cab to the living area....easy to pull away if needed in the night. Also these are built on very dependable Chevy or Ford platforms, gas or diesel. These units can also be setup up for off road travel and Boondocking......

You might want to rent several different types of RVs to see what fits.

I would start with a van conversion type (Class B), then a small Class C, Larger Class C and then a Class A.

Keep in mind most RV'ers go through several RVs before they finally land on the right one. Usually from small to big.
Even the largest RVs become easier to drive after a few trips.
