To rephrase Ratty's famous comment to Mole in "The Wind in the Willows": There is nothing- absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in an RV.

By even the most charitable of definitions, I am not what anyone would call "handy" when it comes to fixing things about our sticks-and-bricks house. I am not good at it and I hate taking the time for even the most basic of repairs.

Having said that, I also note that I love puttering around our 5th wheel and could happily spend hours at a time on RV related projects! I guess that's why I think the 10 Minute Tech books are so terrific. More than 600 practical and money-saving ideas in each of the three volumes . . . clever, practical solutions to both everyday challenges and to obscure situations the average RVer will never come across. Each idea presents a practical, real-life solution. Each has been developed by an RVer. The projects are presented in language which is brief, understandable and to the point . . . and the illustrations do a great job of clearing up any questions left unanswered by the text.

The books are conveniently divided into sections on Livability, Safety, Appliances, Maintenance, Automotive, In Camp, Systems, Storage, Towing, Accessories, Sanitation, Doors-Hatches-Handles, Cleaning-Protecting, and Tools. Only a brief perusal is needed to start the creative juices flowing - to send the reader, tool box in hand, off on another project. A fun read when you are nowhere near an RV. An indispensable reference when you are on the road.

We're newbies and found more moneysaving ides in the book to pay for it 20 times over! Loaned it to our ole timer neighbor and thought we were going to have to call the police to get it back! A lot of common sense and practicality mixed in with some innovative thinking!

We are new to RVing and have bought two of these books, they are full of great ideas and even if you don't use them it helps in understanding the issues involved in making your RV more comfortable and usable. Recomended

I took a chance on this because it was priced very well. Many will love all the money-saving ideas to make camping more enjoyable. I found it too simple. I'm an electrical engineer...looking for more sophisticated projects. Take that for what it's worth. This book has a wide variety of categories...might be just right.

Some tips could come in handy,most are too week end Rv to me,would like more technical tips,but it helps for what it was designed for.

If you can't find something usefull in this book, you haven't read it yet
