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!!

Technomadia Software in Action


Free is Very Good Price

 
We've just pulled into Fort Anahuac County Park.  After stopping at the Chambers County Building and getting our "FREE" three day permit from County Commissioner, Bubba Abernathy, we were set to go.  I'm not kidding, 3 days free camping from Bubba, it doesn't get any better than this.

Just to prove that it is not another Ranger Tale.

Our own private peninsula.  This is hard to beat.
The park is on Trinity Bay in the Gulf of Mexico just an hour East of Houston.  We found the best site in the huge park, a small peninsula that gives us water on three sided of the RV.  This is definitely an "IT" spot.  You must be fully self contained to camp here and right now we are the only campers here. That's right, 50 acres to ourselves.  There are a half dozen boat trailers that we can see, they must be out fishing.

Imagine many miles of shoreline to ourselves.

The barrier reef is several miles long and there are trails to go "Birding" on in the morning.

 

So how did we find this gem of a County Park.  Last week a new piece of software was launched by fellow RV'ers, Cherie and Chris of Technomadia.  They have combined government maps and a listing of thousand of public camp sites that are not commonly known or easily found.  The cost of this new software from the iStore was $1.99.  That is a true bargain when compared to a $15, $20 or $30 per night RV site.

I'm already up $58.01.

Today was our first day using this new software.  I think I'll take Terri out to dinner with our savings.  I also owe Cherie and Chris a dinner.

That's fantastic. I heard the new Android app was just released this morning too.
Shame we had to give up our Android cell plan due to limited budget.
Not a total loss with all the other resources out there, but the app still sounds great.

Enjoy the scenery and your visit.

 That's really really cool and thanks for the pimping of our new little app :)  However, the new app doesn't include any campsite listings - it just shows public land boundaries.  Where are you find the campground listings??  Cuz if it does, we totally need to up the price :)

Cherie,

You are correct. We did get info from multiple sources to find todays location. In the last couple weeks we have added 5 new ways to locate our next move. This arsenal of software is helping us find better locations and understand our moves better. Ultimate Campground was very helpful today as was our iPad mapping software.

The lesson to be learned is that it will take many different tools to get the best results. We all want the "IT" site when we arrive. Today we found "IT".
