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!!

Not enough bed clearance


I had always heard that 6" of clearance was enough for a fifthwheel but I proved that wrong. We have pulled our camper to places were I use 4-wheel drive and crawl over rocks at idle speeds and never hit. I was backing into a site in a national forest campground. The site was lower than the roadway. My buddy has had his 40' motorhome in the site many times so I wasn't thinking of any problems. As the trailer started leveling out it just rubbed the corner of my bed. I was lucky no damage was done. We are leaning to a hauler bed.
