"All the Stuff..." is the best introduction to RVing available today! A "must read" for new RVers and veterans alike because "you don't know what you don't know!" There’s more valuable information in this current, well-written, easy-to-read book than we have ever seen in one place.
Over 500 hints and tips and 150 photos on how to safely…
- drive/tow an RV - getting out of tight spaces, backing into campsites, not dragging, overswing
- tow a toad - supplemental braking systems
- pack - for a weekend or month
- hook up & unhook utilities – sewage systems, shore power
- boondock - living in your RV without hooking up
- maintain and winterize your RV
- operate onboard systems correctly
- weigh your RV
- cross international borders, and
- RV accessories.
The information is so current it even includes an overview of the ways to connect to the Internet while on the road. The book was first released May 2004 and was updated for 2005! Most of the content applies to all RVs. There is specific information about different types of rigs. Motorhomers will appreciate the advice about towing a car behind their rig including information about tow dollies and supplemental braking systems. 5th wheel and trailer owners will appreciate the tips and tricks about towing a rig.

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Ron and Bob were a joy to work with on this project. Both are active presenting seminars to RVers around the country. Bob is the maintenance "guru." Ron (and his wife Sandy) have developed two seminars entitled, ""So, Can I Really Drive an RV?" and "All About RVing."
Ron and Sandy are fulltime RVers and will be the "headliners' for Lazydays RV Center during their gigantic January 2006 SuperSale and Show.
From the Author
Bob and I put our personal e-mail addresses in the book. Ask us the hard questions about RVing.

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
