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!!

Greetings All-

We are new to this forum and will be leaving for a full time, homeschool, mission trip adventure!  We are currently trying to sell our Winnebago class C for a 5th wheel.

My wife and I are going to be purchasing a 5th wheel for extended trips and eventual full time.  We have 4 kids all under 5 (twins are involved).  After much research, we have tentatively entered into an agreement to purchase a Dynamax Trilogy 37BH.  We like the bunk room layout.  We plan to build a dinette with trundle bed in the slide with a couch and a few other modifications to satisfy our requirements.  Being from Alaska, insulation and "cold weatherabilty" as well as a lot of counterspace, and residential refrigerator are must haves (per my wife)

 

We do not want low end, but cannot afford upper end.  The Trilogy (even though production is being suspended) has a lot to offer us for our needs.  Which leads me to my question......

Recently, we spoke with North American RV and Cargo Trailers (rvsandcargotrailers.com).  It seems we will be able to have built exactly what we want for around the same $$.  BUT, I have not been able to find any reviews, people posting about their ownership of this companies trailers, etc.  SO, if anyone has any info about this company and their product, please let us know.  Also, any other advice regarding our tentative purchase of the Trilogy 37BH or other 5th wheel options would be appreciated!

We have also spoken with spacecraft mfg.  Great product, just out of our price point.

We have a 2015 F350 DRW powerstroke 6.7 diesel for the tow vehicle.

It seems that North American RV's and Recreation by Design RV may be one in the same.  Does anyone have any input on their product?

 

Thanks,

Joe and Lindy

Recreation by Design built many bunkhouse trailers for fulltime workers. Most carnivals, fairs, and circus's had them for the unmarried workers. Many of married carnie's had them as well. From what I remember, they had base floor plans that they would change to suit your needs, but they were not luxurious RV's, they were more get it done, don't fall apart on the highway trailers.

Hello folks.....I was reading the posts and noticed you have 3 pets that travel with you. Was wondering if I could ask a question? We have 3 dogs that we'd love to have go full timing with us but we are torn between taking them or leaving them behind. We have a Schnauzador, Golden Retriever, and Labradoodle . By any chance do you have dogs to give us insight on how it is traveling with your pets?

 Gary and Linda,

Look down in the "Fur, Feathers, & Fins" category of the forums.  You might get more insight from some of the threads and comments there.

Another brand to consider would be Lifestyle by Evergreen. These are very close to Carraige in construction. They will likely be the most affordable coach builder that manufactures their own channel frames and slide mechanisms. They recently switched to a 101 inch width. I will guess that the price will be in the same range as Trilogy. As a bonus, they are one of the few brands that does not use Lippert frames or slide systems. Take a peek at this brand. Best wishes.
