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!!

I've been stationary to long (2months) in east Texas. Will spend Christmas with grandkids then off I go. Getting a severe case of hitch itch.

Where to go from here, west, to Arizona or southeast to Florida, or maybe a little further south in Texas?

How's the weather been in those areas. Y'all let me know.

Jim

Man that's deep east Texas. Are you doing any fishing on Sam Rayburn?

I would base the decision on something other than how the weather is the day you travel, since the weather can change. A few years ago we wintered in Florida and most of December was unseasonably warm, then it cooled off and was one of the colder winters Florida had. Last winter in Arizona we would have cool (cold) weather a week, then it would warm up, then cold, then warm and in March we set some records in the high 90s in the Phoenix area. We spent a March week in the Rio Grande Valley (The Valley) of Texas where we had daytime highs in the 50s some days and 90s others.

Anyway, choose by what you are interested in, how you like to camp and how much you want to pay. On average for full hookups, rural Arizona is cheapest, with Texas next, and Florida off the coast or further north next. But you can find deals and higher prices in all these states. Do you want to see green plants, Texas and Florida. Desert, Arizona. Want to use solar, Arizona since further east cloudy days are more common. Each area has its special points, find the ones that match you the most. If you can't decide, take the shortest route or roll some dice.

I'm thinking a pair of dice and a spinner with E W N and S for making those tough decisions. DW and I have sworn off planning. One day at a time.

El Tojo, I have a small place right on the lake, have not done any fishing lately. Just getting things in order for next adventure.
Having hail damage finally repaired from South Dakota storm in late summer.
Mark, I too like your method of planning-no planning?
I guess sometime after the first of the year I'll get up one morning and decide today is the day and take-off in some direction.
Thanks for the information.
Jim

That is what got that conversation started...if we were to get up tomorrow and be free, where would we go? Neither of us had a clue and we liked the freedom. We know we need to go to Denver to have the bed built for the truck but beyond that we are flying by the seat of our pants.

I hope my wife doesn't read this! If she thinks full timing will make the seat of her pants as big as a 747 she'll stay home. LOL! Me on the other hand can't wait for the "Right here addiction"

Keep the motivation coming Mike!!! Looks like we're becoming short timers as home owners. Passed all the physicals....YEAH! Talked to the Realtor today, we'll finalize the paper work Jan 8th and be on the market Jan 15th. This wouldn't be so hard if I didn't have the house of my dreams with RV parking and a two car shop!

Getting close to HaPpy DaNce TimE!!!!!!!!
