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!!

Looking for a fifth wheel


I not real good at placing imfo in the proper spot in this forum , just want to suggest to people that are looking for a unit , Myself and the Wife were looking for a fifth wheel for several years , on traveling around the western and middle states we looked for R V factories and did tours. We did about 4 tour's and really got soom education ,granted Ive had a fifth wheel and motorhome prior so I already kinda knew what size we needed , and also we also looked @ craig's list , we ended up with a 91 snow bird 27' (nuway) we love it and we have had a lot of upgrades and replacements . But thats  what we did, no regrets ! and we pull it with a 4 door long bed F350 diesel 2012 single axel Ford I feel we are well matched for what we need , but anyway I just wanted to pass it on take your time and look alot dealer's and and ask alot of people as you can , Hope this Post helps somebody Thanks Mike/Valerie
