Customer Reviews

Excellent Book For First-Timers
I have been ordering magazines, books and videos about RVing, for about 1 year now. This book is one of the
best I have received.
It is informative, reads very easily, well written, and laid out in a manner that compels you to go on to the next chapter. Not all the information is for new or first-timers, and it is a book I would keep, and use as a reference for many years.
I would recommend this book for first-time RVers, those still contemplating the life style, and seasoned RVers
looking for a simple, well written book covering a wide range of RV topics.

All You Need to Know. . . Not Quite
Well, not quite. . . but nearly! Of the "RVing" books I've purchased, this rates among the best. It is relatively complete and up to date, considering the fast changing pace of the life style/industry. Remember, everyone has an opinion, and these authors opinions are pretty much in agreement with mine. oRV
