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!!

Congratulations.

It is an exciting time. Two pieces of advice:

Enter the lifestyle and stay debt free.

Everyone has a different way of full timing. You need to develop your own. Don't let others talk you into their way.

See you out there.

Congrats and welcome!! We've certainly done things our way and followed Howard's advice that there is no "right" way to FT, in fact I think we've broken many, many of the "rules"!

Congratulations! Starting debt free like you are is certainly one of the best ways to go. Another suggestion for a membership is Passport America. For no more than it costs, it will pat for itself almost as soon as you use it. You will also quickly find out that just about every RPI park is also a Coast To Coast park, so you might find yourself dropping one of these two memberships. Good luck and hope to meet you some day along the way!

I agree with Rick and Janice on the Passport America.  With some of the "clubs," one might find themselves in less-than-ideal campgrounds.  For instance, there is one north of Colorado Springs (Coast to Coast, I think) that it right next to Interstate-25.  We were visiting with a couple that had to stay out of the park for a week, and they told us that the wife had to put ear plugs in her ears in order to get any sleep.  Passport America will give you discounts in places that are more ideal.

For three years, we lived in our Mobile Suites (think good insulation and sound reduction) within 100 yards of I-44 in Oklahoma City.  At night, we either ran an electric heater in the winter or an oscillating fan in the summer in order to reduce the noise level even more for sleeping.
