Review
After 20 years of fulltime RVing, I still discovered new information while reading The RV Book. Mark s book is so well written and informative... he patiently explains each basic necessity that every RVer should be aware of to assure safe operation of their RV --~ Peggi McDonald, author of RV Living in the 21st Century

Mark Polk has written a superbly insightful book on how to use and properly maintain any recreation vehicle. This indispensable guide will save RV owners plenty of money and countless hours of frustration. With the possible exception of a sewer hose, The RV Book should be the first thing new RV owners buy. After reading it, they should store it in the cabinet above their refrigerator - it will be like taking an RV service technician with them on vacation. As a seasoned RV user himself, Mark knows first hand what all RV owners need to know to enjoy a hassle-free and safe experience on the road and in the campground. Don't have an RV yet? The RV Book can help anyone select the right motorhome or travel trailer based on the unique needs of his or her family. Mark skillfully guides even the most novice of RV users through the sometimes complicated maze of buying, owning, storing and maintaining a recreation vehicle. The book's resource section lists the names of scores of companies and associations directly involved in the RV industry, along with their web addresses should further information be desired. Reading The RV Book is just like buying 10 years of RVing experience. --GREG GERBER, Editor-in-Chief of Milo Media RV Publications

Customer Reviews

Too self serving
Author Polk knows his stuff, no question about that. What irks me is that instead of explaning topics in the book, which is why I bought it, he refers us to his web site to buy one of his videos. Hey Mark, I already paid for the book, tell me in the book!

Another aggravating example, in the section on RV insurance he "recommends" a certain insurer in a sidebar, and then, lo and behold, on the very next page that insurer has a full page advertisement telling us how great Mark is!

I will not buy another book from this overly commercial author. If I want advertisements I'll buy a magazine.

The RV Book
I made this purchase as a Christmas gift for my husband. After reviewing, before wrapping as a gift, there is no doubt in my mind that he will truly enjoy!!!
