My father has read this book from cover-to-cover numerous times. He has also passed it around to his friends and fellow co-workers. They find the information to be very current, the writers knowledgeable, and the book easy to read.

It covers many aspects of the RV lifestyle. The book gives tips on everything, from suggested itineraries to meals (even recipes!). (I would elaborate more if I could only pry this book from my father's hands!)

This book was ordered sight unseen but, as always, Mr. Frommer delivered. As a Flight Attendant, he is the only travel guide I follow!

Special thanks to him and the authors for compiling all the information that went into this book.

Happy Trails!

I found this book to be trite and very limited in scope. Perhaps someone who has never gone rving before might enjoy it. Some of the mishaps of the authors were almost impossible to believe considering they are both educated people. Very disappointing.

The book opens with a couple of good chapters on the basics of RB'ing and gives an excellent diary of their first trip which made me feel better. However, chapters 4 through 13 are detailed examples of trips in the U.S. which i will not be takin any time soon. Chp 14-16 review RV types and manufacturers.

The book wastes a lot of ink describing tourists sites in well-trodden parts of the US, ink that could have been spent carefully reviewing campgrounds.
