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!!
I read through various websites that this is a very friendly and great group to be connected with. So . . . here I am. Hitting the road for a year or 2 or 3 this spring. Have a travel trailer and a Ford 150 to tow. I'm a newbie so whatever advice you have, I welcome it! Planning National Parks visits, music festivals, off roading, but most importantly: hiking. I'm into health, fitness and freedom.
Where are you and what general direction are you headed?

Hi Cherz, welcome, and I can tell you are excited to hit the road! I am hoping to roll this spring as well, so I don't have much sage advice to offer yet. I know Howard's journal entries have some great info on the national parks they have visited, but I have no idea how to zero in on what time periods they would cover. Just ran a search of RV-Dreams on 'national park' and there are lots of results, so maybe that would help you get started.
Cherz, There is a bit of stress to get on the road followed by a feeling of freedom when you launch. The learning curve is next, but with the right attitude it is fun. After six months, it feels like home.
Welcome and ask lots of questions. Someone here has the answer.

Cherz ... welcome! You have come to the right place for sure. We're newly minted full timers, so still learning, but this group has taught me A TON. I think that eventually all the lessons could be learned by trial and error, but the pain of all that is avoidable due the sage advice of all the "Dreamers". Best of luck in your journey.
