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!!

Just a suggestion ......But would it be possible and maybe better to have more streamlined categories for Forum topics?

Like;

Class A Motorhomes

Class C Motorhomes

Tag and/or Fifth Wheel

Motorhome Conversions

Diesel Engine and Transmission

Gas Engine and Transmission

What works best for me is to look at "Recent Posts".... posts in one category may also apply to other categories. Or I do a search function for a particular topic (ex; roof repair, broken spring, No 12v Power...etc)

A group just got a bunch of these categories added on the Escapees forum and mostly they are seeing little action.

The individual categories are great if your looking for a specific subject on a specific model.
Otherwise so many common parts are used across all manufacturers that a water pump is a water pump, dump valves are dump valves.
Now if you go to the Heartland forums, they do break the forums down by brand, and model.

 I have seen that in forums, in general.  For me, too many choices looks very cluttered (first thought is "not worth the hassle") and people get into a groove of the areas they look at.  In super active forums like rv.net, it does seem to work but that forum is so different than this one.  I have been in there for years and I don't feel like I have the slightest familiarity with anyone that posts there but for specific technical information, it would be my first stop.  I, too, always reach for "Recent Posts" unless I am using the "search" function for something here.
