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!!

Hi Everyone, Just want to introduce myself. I have a 31' class c motorhome I purchased last month and plan on traveling my home state of Florida for a bit while Im getting familiar with my RV. I still have so much to learn. I'm traveling solo. Looks like I found a great place to ask questions. Really excited to get started. This has been a longtime dream of mine!

Welcome Sondra ... a class C is a great choice, particularly if you are solo. You've definitely come to the right place. Use the search function liberally as there is a TON of info available. Consider attending the Fall Rally in May. Good luck and travel safe.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I thought the class C's for me are easier to Drive and feel safer especially if night driving. I don't think I will be driving at night though. Once I start venturing out of Florida I don't plan on having a plan? Well actually I guess thats a plan. 😊Got loose ends to tie up here and I will be taking the maiden voyage.

I have heard that you can pull a jeep and certain hondas with 4 wheels down. This is the difficult part for me, towing. I still need someone to help with my jet skis.

Motorhome magazine puts out yearly guides on towing behind a motorhome, which they call "dinghy towing", but most call it a "toad" - http://www.motorhome.com/submit-email-address/.  Each year the list changes.  For example for many years the Honda CRV was towable in both AWD (4WD) and FWD, but the last couple years they changed the transmission and it is no longer towable in any configuration.  Some places have archived one of the guides in PDF format.  For example, if I search for ""2014 dinghy towing guide" I get this link, http://192.168.1.1:8181/http://roadmasterinc.com/pdf/dtg_2014.pdf.

Just make sure you get it set up with an All-Terrain hitch so that you can easily hitch up the car by yourself. We have Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, have had it for over 10 years and I do all the hitching/unhitching by myself - in an emergency we can get it apart in under 3 minutes (yes, been there, done that). Blue Ox also has an all terrain set up. BTW - if you can drive a manual transmission your search for a toad gets really easy.
