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!!
We're Tim and Crystal and we travel full-time in a 36' Tropi-Cal Ford V-10 motorhome pulling a Dodge Dakota Quad-Cab. We use a Verizon cell phone with Family Plan International, a HP Pavilion laptop with HP 3 in 1 Printer,and a MotoSat/Directway roof-top auto internet system to stay connected with family and and to operate our e-commerce business.
We have traveled from Arizona to Florida and then on to Fairbanks Alaska this summer. We are now nearing our second month in Alaska but will be headed back Outside soon. We will winter near Quartzsite Arizona this winter as we've done for the last several years. All this in the interest of staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
One of our top priorities is to replace our 80,000 mile motorhome with a new(er) Diesel Pusher which will be our third motorhome. We have worn out two motor homes, two dingys, two tow bars, lots of tires, batteries and shocks but not our patience.
I have lurked, and participated, and grown weary of more forums than I can count but still I continue to click on Group Discusions every time I Google-up a new search. I'm facisinated, frustrated, and educated by opinions on every subject from soup to nuts. My favorite forums, by far, are those that deal with RV'ing, Full Timers,Satellite Internet Technology, RV Travel Tips, and Kayaking and Boating.
We met Howard and Linda early this year and keep running into them. We have much in common. Howard and Linda are full-timers operating a business from their motorhome, have a website, and are always looking for the perfect campsite where they can see the sunset, and their satellite internet antenna can see the sky. So do we. They like to kayak and boat and seem to have their priorties straight. and I'd like to say...so do we. They are continually working to improve and fine tune on all the above as do we. So...I guess it's time to be a part of the family of one of the very best forums I've ever seen.
If our experiences in the areas mentioned above can be of any help to anyone in the RV-Dreams forum you need only ask. I've already learned from you.
Tim & Crystal Ryerson
