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!!

One week to go for pick up!
Permalink  

We are soooo excited! We pick up our new 2014 Trilogy next Monday! We leave Sat. to take 2 days to go to Cincinnati, Ohio. I follow hubby in the dully while he drives our beloved Class A - is it okay to tear up over saying good-bye to our 'Amelia'? We did elope with her help after all cry ! Next Monday we do the PDI and all that stuff that will take all day, then stay nearby the dealership 'just in case'.

Then the trip home we again will take two days - and a lot of prayers for hubby towing, which I am sure he will be just fine (I got a pull thru site on the way back just to ease into that backing in thing - especially after reading all you guys getting free entertainment from newbies backing in evileye ) LOL!

Anyway, we will keep you posted & I hope to do a video to share.

I just want to thank all of the Dreamers, for your support and advise - and yes, even your prayers aww This has been quite a journey so far, and you all have helped us get to this next step.

Hi Wayne,

We will be going to Colerain RV Sales and staying at Winton Woods CG- they were the closest dealer to Upstate NY for us. So far, they have been great.

That's great Linda you'll be treated fair.  Colerain RV is family owned and they are good to work with. We bought a Jayco TT from them several years ago. Our salesman was Steve one of the sons.

 Congrats

On the eve before picking up our new Trilogy....and all thru our Class A....only our ulcers were stirring...and low level anxiety was throughout the air.....
Whatever, that did not work. We are in Cincinnati, Ohio now and will be trading in our class A for our new Trilogy - I have to keep repeating it, in order to break thru the surrealism of it -- anyway, we are excited and nervous and trying ever so hard to get into our Zen, hence the glass of wine.

I will put up pics and stuff as soon as I can. We are at a fantastic campground very near the dealer and this helps a lot. The trip down was great - but again, the technology tends to fail us - a topic for another forum topic.

Anyway, send us your prayers tomorrow - the day expected to be long, long, long-- I have special wine for our celebration so, in advance, ignore all posts from me tomorrow nite! LOL!

Zen......

Okay! We got thru the 7 hours at the dealer, spent a solid hour moving stuff - in 90+ degree weather! They did a very good walk thru and answered all our questions without making us feel dumb or rushed. Anyway, it did not rain. All is working so far, except we had water under the residential fridge which turned out to be a cracked water filter. They replaced no problem today (since its residential, can get this part from Lowes), so now another 24 hours to wait for ice (but I got ice trays in the meantime). It is oppressively hot, so the A/C is really getting the test and it is working well considering this heat (there are two).

Overall, the experience was very good and we are very happy with the Trilogy. Hubby is still playing with electronics, etc., he'll be busy puttering for a good long time ;)

Anyway, I want to express my thanks to all of you again for your support and help. I hope to meet a lot of you for the April Rally! Then its full-timing next year. One large step completed ~ now, when we get home: yard sale.

Pics Pics Pics or it didn't happen!...

Just joking... Glad it went well. We had 4 hrs including all the paperwork when we purchased our rig. Then it was 5 hrs home.
We too can't wait to meet everyone in April.
Safe travels

So, we are on our way home and had the first real highway - shake-down trip to our overnight destination.

We checked everything like how stuff fell in cupboards and pipes and I tested a load of laundry again and all was great except the pipe from the smaller sink side was completely loosened off or it wasn't attached in the first place - luckily I had not used that side for dish washing! Easy fix. Ruski is concerned there is not enough air in the hitch 'trail air' thingy, and had to get a small thingy to access it with the compressor - apparently not a big deal. He also managed a very tight gas station and did great. Like I said on my video, first back in is our driveway today :0

On a sad note, last night there were major storms that rolled thru Grove City, PA and some lightening struck a tree, but they think also affected a camper, which caught on fire, and two dogs perished. The owner was not home at the time. It was very sad for this little camping community, the support for this widow was amazing. Love your furry babies and love your loved ones every day.

God Bless you all Dreamers.

Linda,

So sad about the storm and fire there and the lost dogs. Wonderful for the community there.

Linda, DW and I loved the video! We are still waiting on the house to sell but last Saturday we went to the dealer and started a file with our salesman on custom ordering our Alpine 3720FB - that was a great feeling! Hope the "back-in" goes well!

Sam & Belinda,

Thank you! If you check out my web/blog site, you can see all parts of the picking up the Trilogy and yes, the final home spot.

Congrats on your order! It felt like we finally made that near final step and getting this purchase 'out of the way' is helping to focus on the rest of the preparations to go full-timing. I can't wait to see your pics when you pick up your rig! Really like your web/blog site by the way smile

Hi all,
I finally got the video of the inside of the Trilogy done today. We are getting ready for the big yard sale - yikes what an accumulation of stuff we have. Anyway, you can go to my web/blog site or just go to YouTube link. It is almost 15 minutes long so grab some coffee a beer or wine to watch. (The web/blog is better :) )
