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!!

Vintage camper question


I'm considering buying a 22 foot '67 Globestar camper. It is all original but the outside back lower compartment is rotted. The interior floor is new as is the plumbing but the exterior back side seams are open which I suppose let the water in. Is this wood replacement usually a costly repair? The rest of the camper looks sound and there are no stains on the ceiling. I would not be doing the work myself.

Thanks for any help!

Yes it can be expensive and there is no way to know how extensive the work will be until the wall is opened up. I once saw a vintage trailer with just a little water damage showing but once the wall was opened up the entire framing structure along the wall and rear corner needed to be replaced.
