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!!
We finally received an offer on the house! ( I say finally, but the house was only listed for about 80 days) When you are living in a bare bones house, no furniture left, dreaming of the open road, those 80 some odd days took forever. As long as the escrow goes smoothly we will be full timing in 30 days!!!
I just happen to work in the escrow/title field and of course all the what-ifs of escrow falling out are on my mind now. The family that has known the plans the last few years are starting to realize the reality, and most of them are not very happy about us leaving. We live in a small town, lots of family, all pretty close. I am a bit of the black sheep, always the gypsy. I get anxious, run off to another state, make a go of it for a while, then get anxious again, run off again. That's when I decided to start preparations for full time rv-ing. That was the only logical next step. But at my age (35) it is actually frowned upon not to be settled into a long life of the same job, in the same house, with the same routine every day. My military father and state employed (long term) mother just don't understand my yearnings for the open road. I decided the nomadic life was the life for me. Then I met an amazing partner who felt the same way. So 6 years later, all the debt is gone, we have a house we can sell... the proceeds will go to buying our rig, we are both jacks of all trades. we can do pretty much anything we put our minds too, and have.
So all of you out there in the nomad world, keep that positive energy flowing our direction that the closing of our house goes smoothly, then we will be joining you on the road living our RV-Dreams !
