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!!
One of the factors that we checked on before buying our Foretravel was how active the owners forum was. While we were researching I joined several brand-specific forums so that I could ask questions about the brands we were considering. Some brands don't have owners forums, some forums aren't very active, and some require you to own the coach before allowing you to join the forum.
As you are considering buying an RV, do yourself a big favor and join the owners forum for any brands you are considering. You can get some information about the specific RV you are considering, and may even be able to talk to a former owner of the actual RV you are looking at. Obviously, most owners like their choices and want others to enjoy what they have found. Remember that questions about things that are broken or aren't working properly (or to owner's ideas of properly) don't necessarily mean that there is something wrong with the brand. Rather, it means that the owners are actively involved in maintaining their coaches.
What happens if the brand you want either doesn't have a forum, it is not very active, or you must own the brand before joining? That's up to you. For us, those would be deal-breakers.
