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!!

LIFTing a 20ft Class C


Can I lift my RV from the rear bumper with my forklift? I want to level it, and driving it to do so is not an option.

confuseTry a floor jack under the axle......the bumper was designed for impact not lifting on most RV's....you stand a good chance of bending or twisting the frame with a fork lift

 I dont have access to a floor jack big enough.. I guess I'm going to have to buy a couple of bottle jacks then..

I'm with Mike, a couple of cheap Piston Jacks will do the trick...
