Well, we got an email last night from Mariette Kammerer who does a weekly radio talk show called "Life Changes With Mariette". We just got off the phone with her and we are going to be on tonight's show talking about our "life change". So, if anyone is interested in listening live, we will be on tonight, T...

I wanted to thank all the veterans for their selfless service with this little prayer: Like all Americans, O Lord, I breath in freedom's air. The awesome wonder of this gift inspires my grateful prayer. I'm thankful for resources YOU abundantly provide, so "dreams" can be encouraged and...

Okay, you veteran full-timers. Input, please. We probably have a decision to make within the next day or two. Taking our rig to the factory (not typically done but we have been offered this) for repair (and I would ask a thorough inspection) in Goshen, IN. It is roughly 600 miles from here. Taking o...

To all of us Marines here, I would like to wish you HAPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Ohhhhh RAhhhhhhhh!!!!!

TxYellowRose · TxYellowRose

We apparently all share the same "gut" around here! Again, my "little voice" tells me to pack up and haul you-know-what up the road to Goshen and the factory. If I were on my own, I would have started packing yesterday and be ready to roll this morning. However, this is a team decis...

This morning I called my present contact at Keystone RV. As he did not answer, I left a voicemail stating we would be happy to take them up on the offer to bring our Montana to the factory to address our issues. In addition, I sent him an email stating the same with a copy to Mr. Bob Martin. I did ask for ackn...

Briefly, I received a call from Keystone today, the result being for the first time I have a feeling that they are showing sincere concern and efforts to assist us. You can read about it at my blog at the entry with the same title as this post. Cheers, Betty

Folks, This morning I emailed Mr. Bob Martin, CEO of Keystone RV. Humbly I express that it is perhaps one of my better works. You can read it on my blog at: Letter to Bob Martin, CEO of Keystone RV -- Edited by TxYellowRose on Tuesday 9th of November 2010 10:03:43 AM

another dreamer here! we know we want to do this but still have some issues to work thru just wondering how many who are actually full-timing still have a S&B, do you rent/lease it out, do relatives live in it, is it empty (in GA you can't get insurance unless someone lives in it ,I think???) how many...

Is it just me or is anybody else out there really, really tired of all the political pundentry? I know what is going on right now IS important & yes I did vote, but I dream of being in a place where I don't get so wrapped up in all the drama unfolding daily on tv. I know, I could just turn it off, but it is k...

Nope, we HAVE NOT had problems with our Mobile Suite and have to start looking again. Jo's sister and her husband are planning on coming to OKC from Kansas around Thanksgiving and they want to look into buying an RV. They've put out "word of mouth" that their home on 5 or 6 acres is for sale....

We got a job offer this morning! One worth seriously considering! Even if it doesn't pan out, it is a positive thing! We are mulling it over and will talk with the folks again later today. I say again . . . whoohoo!

Dave and I are snugly settled in at Bass Lake Campground in Dillon, SC. This is an older park which had gotten a bad reputation but was purchased a little over a year ago by a couple from England and they are turning the place around.

Did anyone else see these shows? Oprah in Yosemite in a pop up. They were pretty good but the part I loved was that Oprah said several times "people who camp are sooo nice" Maybe that is why we yearn for this lifestyle to be surrounded by "people who are sooo nice"

Waggin Tails · Waggin Tails

43 years ago today, I married my soul mate. As we move closer to a new live together living on wheels, I just wanted to share this moment with my RV-Dreams family. Thank you for the welcome extended to us and the fam,ily warmth we sense from this forum. You are all special people. So enjoy this photo from N...

Interesting new adventure! I didn't think the traffic was quite that heavy on I-80 last time we went through there. Didn't see more than 4 or 5 rvs in the two days on interstate(must be taking a different road?) Those trucks made me feel pretty small when tucked in between with our Colorado. DP hand...

I was talking to my friend today about my plans to sell S&B and buy a 5er to FT in 5 yrs(have to wait til daughter graduates in 5 yrs). She was concerned what will I do when I get too old to do this and how long will my RV last. so I have two questions : 1)any FTers over 80 out there? 2) will a good 5er last 20 yrs?...

Went looking at an RV dealership yesterday since I've only looked at photos and hubby hasn't looked at anything. We started with Fifth Wheels then moved to the travel trailers. We did decide we wanted a fifth wheel, even though they cost more. We saw a lot that we liked but there was one Durango we really...

As I sit here in my S&B I have to listen to the barking dog behind me. At least I can complain with the city and they will put a door hanger on their door. My question is what does one do if campers allow their dogs to bark? It really gets on my nerves after a while. We have 3 dogs and we never let them to be nu...

We are parked in Winton Campground at Cincinnati. The park declared tonight for Trick or Treat. We handed out candy to the kids as they walked around the park. They have fun anywhere they are and the decorations are great. What a great evening!

Hey folks, We've landed our first workamping gig for next summer...YAY!! My question for the experienced out there, this being our first 50 amp rig, is that the site is 30 amp. What issues could we foresee having, anything major? We're not big electric users to start, and have one 15K BTU AC in the rig. T...

Sherry · Sherry

I'm wondering why Howard seems to always use MapQuest to plan his routes. I've been using Google and MapQuest and find that they often give different routes. Before I "Ask Howard" I thought I'd ask you guys to weigh in on what you use and why. Maybe some of you even use something totally dif...

I was just watching GMA and saw all the bad weather in so many places. I always think of the RV- Dreams Family... just want you to know that someone is thinking of you and praying for your safety.

I just finished reading in Howard's blog about last year's incident with the brakes on the trailer and all the headaches that went into getting the parts and getting it fixed. And it hit me -- all the what ifs. We were planning to buy used. That means no warranty, which means we need money to fix anything t...

We arrived at Cherry Creek State Park, just outside of Denver, Colorado, a few days ago while travelling from South Dakota on our way to New Mexico.

We have been diligently pursuing our dream job for fulltiming. We just spent 10 days in Albuquerque at the Balloon Fiesta doing a dry run. This week we found out we GOT IT!!! We both have experience working for a music festival here in Kansas and used our contacts to create a job for ourselves. This ne...

Due to colder weather and no where to park my RV where I live I have put my RV in storage for the winter. I really enjoyed it my first summer I had it and next year plan on my first cross country trip. Now its time to ski!
