4.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST book on full time RVing written to date, September 17, 1999

GHWhitlock@aol.com (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Complete Guide to Full-Time RVing: Life on the Open Road (Paperback)

This book is written with a lot of first hand knowledge of all areas of living full time in an RV. It is also written for and by average people who do not have an unlimited income and therefore must keep an eye on the most efficient means to an end. They not only "talk the talk" but have "walked the walk" I have given away two other recent books on this subject, but I won't part with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Full-time RVing Book to Date!, January 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Complete Guide to Full-Time RVing: Life on the Open Road (Paperback)

We own and have read a half-dozen of the newer full-time RVing books we have found. This new third edition of Bill and Jan's book is the most detailed and useful that I have yet to find. I can look an books after I am done and can tell how useful they are by how many folded page corners there are and how much yellow highlighting I had done. This one is tops. The latest in communications are covered, some of the best discussion on floorplans I have seen, and more.

This one is a must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good introduction to all aspects of RVing full-time., April 24, 2004

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Complete Guide to Full-Time RVing: Life on the Open Road (Paperback)

I have several books on RVing full-time, as I plan to do in the next 2-3 months. This book provides an excellent overview of what it is like, what aspects of RVing are unique to full-timers, and just enough personal anecdotes to be very entertaining and useful.

I would highly recommend this book if you are not very familiar with RVing and only intend to purchase and read a few books.

Please keep in mind that the authors, although they cover all types of RVing, have a definate slant towards 5th wheels. If you are definately not planning to have a 5th wheel, you should at least explore alternatives. But even then, it may be worth purchasing.

Happy travels!
