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!!

Hi I'm Holly and from NH. My husband and I are getting ready for retirement. We want to take log trips  to see and explore this beautiful country. I especially want to immerse myself in nature, and to explore  the wonders of cities and towns and different communities and lifestyles. We have been looking at different  options For traveling and at times find it a bit overwhelming as to what would be best for us.   I would like to be environmentally sound, economical, sturdy and safe, have the company of two extras and us all be comfortable. I would like to be able to camp on public lands be able to travel off the side roads, but not trail blazing. Boondocking seems fantastic, and I like to cook and eat and carry some of my yarn stash so storage is important.  We have most recently been thinking about a small 5 th wheeler. And class C  RV.  I will also be driving my fair share and have found driving a 24 ft. class C was very easy.  Not sure about a 5th. , my readings have seemed to indicate TT are more difficult.    planning on traveling for  4-6 mos.at a time when we retire.  we would love any advice.  We have done tenting and had a small & comfy pop up when the kids were small. Loved the pop up  but want more ease and comfort for traveling.   I still am having some trouble figuring out what is quality or necessary vs what is just bells and whistles.  I'm so glad to be part or this forum.  Thank you all for being here and offering your experiences And advice.  Holly

Holly,

Welcome to the RV Dreams forums.  You will find the folks here have a lot of knowledge and are willing to share it.

New Hampshire....

....let's see.....you wouldn't also like to get way from some of the winter conditions up there, would you?

Seriously, use the entire website for your research.  Howard and Linda provide a lot of information on the lifestyle, and a lot of the folks on the forums can provide a lot of information on various RV's that might interest you.

Good luck with your research and planning.

Terry

Welcome Holly! There is a lot of information out there and be patient with yourself as you sift through it. There is so much information that it can be overwhelming at first before your mind starts making sense of it. The other thing once you start hearing people's opinions is figuring out what is important to you. What might be extravagant to one person might be a necessity in my mind. :)

Enjoy the journey and have fun exploring!! :)

welcome.. from what I read in your post my idea would be to go to diffrent places and look. If you find something that feels right then reserch more on the rv. I do not yet have an rv but when ever weather and funds permit I do borrow my dads class c. I absolutly love the rv. Goodluck and hope you reach your goals.
