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 are new to this forum, but have been active in a forum or two for the last 7 years. We have been campers since we married in 1969 and RV'ers since 2003. We fulltimed for 4 1/2 years from mid 2006 to the end of 2010. In 2010 we bought a sticks & bricks, where we lived and raised our children, so we could spend more time with our two young grandchildren. We guess what happened, about a year and a half after we bought the house our son & DIL took our grandchildren and moved 2300 miles away to the Portland, OR area. We still have the house, but travel several months a year, partly to go spend time with the grandkids in the summer. We are avid boondockers or dry campers, spending very little time in RV Parks. We also belong to Escapees RV club and are active on the Escapees' forum.

it is so important to spend time with the grandchildren. That is driving my decisions also.
i just tried to buy a house near the grandchildren (I was going to rent it while I full timed). I did not like the quality of house I could afford, so skipped it.
Now, a couple of months later, my son has lost his job and they might have to move out of state for work. So, I am glad I wasn't able to buy anything.
