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!!
Hi there, my name is Megan. I joined to help me get some insight into the FT RV lifestyle as I plan to purchase one and live full-time stationary next year. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I'm single and about to leave active duty to attend grad school and love my already simple lifestyle. I'm looking to simplify even more, make it a little easier (hopefully) to meet people and share the love of Jesus with others. I'm living in MO now, but if all works out according to the current plan, I'll be moving to western VA next summer.
Interested in a Class C motorhome with about a $20k budget as of now. Looks like 28ft will suit me best, but we shall see. Any advice is welcome, and would love to meet people in the area where I'm headed (think Blacksburg, VA). Excited to learn more!
Welcome! Have you found a place to park the RV for an extended period that is ok with the city/county government? That would be my first concern. A travel trailer might be less expensive if you can get it to the site.

I agree with Larry about the travel trailer. If you're going to be stationary, why maintain a vehicle you don't use?
My concern would be about heating an RV during winters in Missouri or Virginia. Most class C's and TTs aren't built for year-round use in extended periods of cold weather. Some other folks here could address possible remedies for this, though.
Use the search box at the top of the forum! lots of useful information there and also from others! I am near Nashville TN. and we do get some teens and 20's. The nice part is one can move and take there residence with them.
