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!!

 Well heck, this morning as I sit having my coffee I'm surrounded by boxes and it's a funny feeling. I go get our U-Haul trailer at 8 and we will load all of our stuff in it and the new owners of our motorhome will come and drive it away tomorrow leaving us somewhat homeless. 

 We will stay in a friends 5th wheel for a couple nights at the park we are at now and will then drive off with our truck & u-haul towards Kansas to check on the progress of our new home (a New Horizon 5th wheel) which is 2 or 3 weeks behind schedule.

 We will toss our stuff in a storage unit and then head to Indiana to get our new truck which is completed and waiting for us at Classy Chassis. From here we will just wing it in hotels until our new home is finished. Hmm, maybe a visit to the Henry Ford Museum is in order and maybe the Studebaker Museum. This will be the first time in over 6 years that we have stayed in a hotel and not really looking for ward to that part of the next few weeks. Oh well. Just another chapter.

  Pretty basic. The main thing is no trailer towing for the 1st 500 miles which will not be an issue, we will have close to 2000 miles before it gets hooked up to the 5th wheel.

You are way ahead of me. I have never owned nor backed up a 5th wheel. Should be interesting!

We may be in a similar situation soon (we hope). There is a couple that is interested in buying our Foretravel. IF that happens, we'll be boxing everything up and storing it at a family member's home while we trade MKT for F250 and then find an Airstream.

  Well I guess there was a time a couple years ago when a guy just couldn't hit his back in site and his wife was yelling at him over and over and over again and I asked if there was anything I could do to help. His answer was "Park this F+=%*%g thing' LOL. When I said "really" he flung the door open and said "The dogs don't bite" and jumped out LOL!! I took one look at the site, go in and backed it in for him. I felt so sorry for that guy with his wife barking at him yet she would stand completely out of his view when trying to direct him in. I'm pretty sure they are not RVing any longer.

  Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

 On another forum, there was a video posted showing a guy backing up his "rig" from the street into his "home RV site," which was basically an area beside his house.

His rig consisted of the truck, fifth wheel, AND a boat behind the fifth wheel.

I was impressed.
