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!!
My name is Trish and I go by Stormywch 😁. I guess I am a wanna-gonnabe. I recently started working 2 jobs so I can begin saving for my forever home. As a child, we moved every 2-3 years because my dad was in the army. Well, guess what, I am 66 and still want to move around and see everything, and I still have it in my blood. So that is what I am planning on, just need to work as much as possible and save up. Now my problem is, I can’t figure which one is for me. I love how spacious the 5th wheels are, but do not have a truck. I tend to lean towards the class c, only due to the cost of the class A. What do you think?
Fulltime RVing isn't too difficult- if I can do it anyone can. It can be as expensive or inexpensive as your budget allows.
This is pretty much a pull behind forum but almost all solos I've met are in motorhomes. This past winter I met my first two fulltime solos in NOT in motorhomes. One had an 18' bumper pull behind a pickup with a cap and the other a smallish fiberglass egg and a full size van. My "C" is 28 feet and really is a little large for one but I couldn't find any nice shorter ones when I was shopping.
If you look at "A's" make sure you price tires and windshields too. Class C's are simpler to work on. For example, a local Walmart uses a pit rather a lift for oil changes. My last two have been there.
There are a lot of "tricks" you pick up on the road to make your life easier and simpler and more satisfying. My best advice is to start sooner rather than later.
Good Luck!

Will you want a toad? If so make sure the A or C can pull it.
