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!!

What a complete and interesting report. However, IMO your excellent maintenance is a huge factor with your RV “happiness.”

I enjoyed reading your post about your history of living in your 5er. You are lucky to have a handy husband. I'm in the process of going full-time now as a single gal. For now I can rely on my handy brother to help customize my class C, but I fear I'll have to pay for things later on.

I think that your fear that you will have to pay for all repairs is unfounded.  There is no rule I know of that says that women can't fix things.  Most things in RVs are fairly simple and a $100 or $200 tool kit will get you a long ways down the road.  That and youtube.  I also think that many, if not most RVers are happy to help folks.  It's absolutely amazing what a little conversation or libation will do, especially if you start with "Can you teach me how to do this?" or "Can you tell me about this?"  Remember many RVers are retired and likely looking for something to do.  Best of luck and as my father used to tell me "Can't never did anything".

 I am not worried because I'm a woman, but because I've never been handy because my brother was always around and willing to do it.  It was easier to ask him than to figure it out for myself.  

Maybe I'll get some tips at the Spring rally.  I'm hopeful that I can also "depend on the kindness of strangers" now and then.  I've asked my brother a few times to show me what he does when working on a thing; next thing I know it's been done and he said it was easier to just do it!  

At least I'll start getting educated when I'm on my own!
