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 wife and I are going on the road - We decided to give it at least a year as Full time RVers. I'm 69 and I want to see if I can make. Open to any suggestions. We bought a new Jayco Flight SLX 8. We are going to pull it with a 2018 Toyota Tacoma V6.
That’s great. We planned to do it for three years. We hit that mark this month and decided there is more to see and do. It is nice that it is a lifestyle and not a vacation. No set plans with time limits. Broad plans “We want to visit the Pacific Northwest this summer” and make a few reservations at key locations “Yellowstone and Glacier.” If we like a spot, we stay longer. If we want to rest, we stay. When we are ready, we move on. We find interesting little things along the way because we take time to explore. Today, we stumbled upon the marker for the geographic center of North America. Not on our bucket list, but fun for a quick photo. Oh the food! We try not to eat at any chain restaurant. Experience the little places with local specialties. Enjoy your time and just deal with the little issues that pop up along the way. Part of the adventure.

I'll be 69 this summer and you can do it! You won't win any races with a V6 but RVers don't race. As long as you are within the limits the TV can handle (max weight and payload) you will be fine. Camp close to home and a Walmart type store the first couple of outings so you can buy the extras you find you want or need and then...…….take off! I suggest you give dry/boondock camping a big try for the beautiful places the USFS, BLM etc. offer. Managing your power and water levels is second nature after a while.

Its a "done deal" on the TT, Danny, as OP stated. If OP finds he needs to upgrade in a while because they love fulltiming, he can. While pulling a TT isn't a big deal to me...big or small...OP will see what he likes and doesn't.
