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!!
Hello everyone, again ! It's been so long since we have posted that we thought it would be appropriate to reintroduce ourselves. We are Steve & Nonna Lovelace from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.
We are close to retirement and looking to learn more about Fulltiming. The leap of retiring is a daunting task in itself and then we have considered fulltiming since we bought our 5th wheel
in 2011 November. We bought early to use it as a learning experience and rving with family. It has been fun and looking forward to having more fun, except more freely.
Welcome guys. Since you've been doing it, you already know how to do it ... As for the "daunting" part ... it's true, retirement is change and change is daunting. Same can be said for full timing. Just take comfort that others have done it before you and if they can, so can you. Just jump in and have at it.
Good Luck and be safe.

The Fulltime Lifestyle is awesome as I have had the opportunity to work and fulltime at the same time for 5 years now, I call it practicing for retirement.
We are getting closer every day but unfortunately still have a couple more years to go :(
