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!!

Our summary of 5 years on the road
Permalink  

 We have recently completed our 5th year of fulltime travel!! Each year we do a summary and share it in hope we can pay back a little for what we were able to learn by reading what info others would share like Howard and Linda have done for so many years. We hope you enjoy it and we hope even more that it helps someone in some way. 

 Here is a link to the summary on our blog. https://daveanddiane.wordpress.com/2018/01/03/our-5th-year-summary/

  Glad you enjoyed it!!! We spent $5000 more in 2017 than 2016 but $3000 of that was just in campground fee's. It's expensive east of the Mississippi!! Plus we stayed at some of the nicest resorts in the country in 17. Oh, Jack is still doing well at 13 years old.

Good to know, as you and Diane beat to our drum so to speak with your travels, interests etc from the get-go, so it's good to know and after 5 years of sharing, we have a most wonderful and varied basis to work with now moving forwards = thanks again.

That's wonderful to hear that Jack is still doing so well into double digits. Still miss our retriever Sassy terribly, even though it's been 4 years this September past, but we agreed with your sentiments, along with many others a while back, about how restrictive at times for long hikes (where no dogs allowed), visiting places having a four legged companion on board needing consideration could be, so we are content with the photos and memories for our next phase.

Happy Travels in 2018 :)
