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!!

Congratulations!  It doesn't sound like you will get alot of work done today with all the celebrating. That is how it should be. It took me a little while to get used to NOT having to get up for work and relaxing.  Now, I am enjoying our full-timing and the retirement.  Hope to meet up with you one of these days on your travels.

"No alarm" is really nice. We can go months without setting ours.

This is the absolute worst example of nose-rubbing. Congrats, Grams. I gotta admit, I can't seem to type that without sounding a little snotty.

Go ahead, rub it in! Have a beverage (or 2) for me! I'll need it more than you, with a few years yet to go.

I have so much free time I seem to be busier than when I was working!!! What am I doing wrong???? When I was in my early childhood and later teen years I use to fish and learned even how to fly fish and there always seemed to be so much time in a day. Now it's like a Mazda...Zoom! Zoom! zoom!.

Good for you! January 1 was my one year anniversary of retirement and I have only had to set the alarm once in that year! It was very different than starting a vacation......even a long one.

Knowing you never have to go back to someone else's schedule is amazingly liberating........sorry Mark ))).

Enjoy your well deserved freedom....and this new chapter in your journey.
