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!!
Hello everyone, My name is Scott. My wife and I have been camping for 25 years, started in a tent and now we are in a 2015 Open Range Roamer 345. We love the camper however we are in the infant stages of planning retirement in 2 years and are full time wannabe's. I know this camper is not rated for full time so we have been looking at the Augusta Ambition line. We would definitely need a 1 ton DW diesel however, we cannot find any weights for the Ambitions. I have been playing phone tag with the manufacturer and have also asked via email. I do understand weight is based on options, but would like to at least get a ballpark idea so we're not chasing the wrong dream. Anyhow, thanks in advance for your help and safe travels. Scott

The Augusta Ambition is a interesting product, I will be in the Bristol Indiana area this August and plan on visiting the Augusta plant to get a closer look at the Augusta RV products and construction.
Thanks Rob, I look forward to any info you can find. I just made reservations to go to the Hershey show in Sept.
I will be posting my findings as well.
Thanks,
Scott

Just make sure you have a good idea of what your trailer weight is going to be before you upgrade that truck. If you have the wrong truck you will find that you will not want to move very much.
I would alway suggest that you get more truck than you think you need, just of piece of mind.

Just wanted to mention we have been full timing in a Open Range for over two years now and aside from a broken shackle strap haven't really had many issues. If you like the rig you might want to consider upgrading your tires and putting in Mor Ryde suspension instead of a whole new rig. Keep in mind Howard and Linda have been full timing in a Cambridge for 11 years and it wasn't rated for full timing either :)
