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!!
Looks like we have 46 couples/singles signed up for the Spring Rally. It would be fun to get to know a little about each other before we meet in Pahrump.
I'll begin by writing a short bio so that you can get to know my wife Terri and I.
We are originally from Gig Harbor, Washington where we lived on a small island - Raft Island. We sold our home and began our fulltime travel adventure in the Spring of 2013. From the beginning we knew we would combine our RV travels with living in Mazatlan, Mexico each winter. We are now in our fifth winter as snowbirds and are still loving it.
We very much follow the good weather in our travels, my wifes license plate on our toad is "SUN4EVR". We spend July and August in Washington state, but when it starts raining in September we start working our way south. September and October travels end in Tucson where we store the motorhome and drive the toad 750 miles south to Mazatlan. We like to be in Mexico for the "Day of the Dead" celebration, you'll have to see pictures of Terri and I painted up for the occasion. We look good dead.
After a sun filled winter we drive back to Tucson to pick-up the RV to begin our spring and summer travels. Somewhere during spring we always take an overseas vacation. We've now visited 16 countries and will add Cambodia, Thailand and Viet Nam right before the Spring Rally.
Our preferred style of camping is National Parks, COE, BLM land and other types of dry camping.
We travel with our Mexican mutt, Eva the wonderdog. You will get the pleasure of meeting her at the rally. You will agree after seeing her that she is the best dog in the world.
So now it's your turn..... Let your fellow Ralliers know your story.

Hi, we're Tom and Lori Giamanco and have been full-timing since February of 2016...and LOVE IT!
We are semi-retired, Lori works for her sister doing data entry bookkeeping, and Tom is a Broadcast Radio Consultant and does free lance voice work for a couple of radio stations. Lori is originally from Reno, NV and Tom from St. Louis. Been together for 18 years and married for 10!
We travel in our 2005 Alfa Leisure SEE YA 5th wheel, pulled with a 2000 Ford F-350 Dually 7.3.
This past winter we installed solar, got a generator in Quartzsite, and out in the desert around Yuma, AZ for almost 2 months straight. We LOVE boondocking and can't wait to travel all over Nevada this spring seeking out prime boondocking area's.
We look forward to meeting everyone in a few days for the rally! SEE YA there!
tom and lori

We are parked here at Nevada Treasure relaxing 😎 and enjoying the sunshine. Can’t wait to meet everyone. We have been full timing since January and loving it. We previously attended one of Howard and Linda’s educational rallies but thought we would take a refresher now that we are actually living the dream. So feel free to stop by site 6-2 and say hello!
Bill and I aren’t on the list but this will be our 6th RV-Dreams rally! We have been full-time since Aug 2014! We will arrive at Nevada Treasure on 4/16! Bill is an installer for RV Solar Solutions and will be doing a solar install prior to and one during the rally. We are looking forward to meeting all of you and making new friends!
LOL, my husband has started to call me Lila now! That's better than the alternative to being replaced!
Looking forward to finally meeting you and Linda after following you both for many years!
We picked up our trailer last Friday and camped in it for the first time last weekend in preparation for the Rally. Can't wait to get started with our dream of full-timing!
