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!!

12 Days and Counting!
Permalink  

12 days until we are on the road and Barb has only 10 days left at work! Although she has been waiting for this day for years, it has not sunk in. She feels like she is just going on vacation and has to go back in a few weeks.

Continuing to get ready, we spent the weekend packing everything we would not need it in the next two weeks. Most of our clothing is in totes, we emptied all the cupboards in the kitchen and have more loads to go to Goodwill. We know we still have too much but we will continue to whittle away while on the road. We have about 10 totes that we will drop off in Salt Lake with our children on the way to AM Solar for our March 17th appointment. Then it is back to Salt Lake the end of March as our daughter is due the first week or April.

The weather certainly is not cooperating here in Wisconsin ....we were teased with high 30's last Wednesday and Thursday only to receive 10" of snow Thursday night and an extended forecast showing highs in the teens and lows below zero.

Hopefully the next 12 days will go quickly and we have no more snow so we can get our rig out on the 9th!

What an exciting new stage.  Our last trip was the first one I had taken with "no deadlines", as I was no longer working.  It took a few days, but when it sunk in, it was bliss.  Enjoy and congrats on the Grandbaby.  Love those Grandkids.

Congrats Jim and Barb. I hope the weather will give you a break for your get-a-way!  Maybe we can meet up this summer and hit a trout stream.

Congratulations and welcome to the freedom of the road.

Feeling like it is a long vacation is very common. Somewhere around a year the feeling will change.

You will slow down, spend less money and enjoy the journey much more.

 Ditto this! Although it took almost two years for us.

Congratulations!

We are getting close also, but not that close. We will be at the spring rally & hope to have the house sold by then, but I don't know if the snow is going to melt in time for summer to arrive here in Minnesota and encourage the sale. DW told her HR dept today of her plans to leave April 18 after being in her job for 34 years. The rally will seem like a vacation but it will wear off eventually, I know it!

Congratulations! Hope your Wisconsin weather and your travel weather cooperate! Remember, take it slow and if nervous STOP.

Keep us posted on your first trip adventures. They can be pretty amusing! 😄
