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!!

1st time RVer preparing to jump into full timer!


Hi everyone!

I'm a first time RVer preparing to jump into full time boondocker!  

I'm scared as all hell!

It's time for me to leave California, with the economy and politics as they are, and with most of my friends having moved away to various places over the years, the best thing I can think of is "living the dream" as everyone I know puts it... and it's frightening, but I know once I'm set up and ready to travel, I'll be better off for it.

 Anyway, I'm in California, just bought a used diesel pusher, an 03 Newmar Kountry Star and have been selectively purchasing the components I need to go full time.  The coach didn't come with a normal inverter, so I've got a Magnum 3000w Hybrid, got my panels, about ready to order a charge controller and batteries from Elite Power.  And I'm here specifically for a couple of reasons... I need help figuring out what my shopping list will require and noticed another user with a similar rig and similar setup, so I plan on picking his brain as well as anyone else willing to help.  And I can't do the inverter install myself and look for any suggestions of who or where to go. 

So, without further adieu, here's a picture of my new to me rig! 

Kind regards,

Mike

Thanks everyone!

I really can't wait till I get the inverter and solar set up, then my rig will actually be useable!

Regards,
Mike
