For a true look at what it is like to sell your home and travel full time in an RV, this is the best book I have ever read on the topic. While too many of the books about full time RVing gloss over the problems associated with the lifestyle, Meandering Down The Highway tells both the good and the bad, and leaves you with the certain knowledge that the good far outweighs the bad. Russell covers every step of the way from the day they decided to become full timers to the process of selling their home and a lifetime of possessions, saying goodbye to their friends and family, learning the secrets of the RV lifestyle as they went, and the first year they spent traveling. Also included are their steps in selecting a mail forwarding service, changing their residency to Texas, a look at many of the places they visited in their travels, and the people they met. You will learn what it is like for a new RVer to drive a monster motor home through narrow road construction zones, what it feels like to leave friends and family behind, how to adjust to the extended family of RV nomads, the joys of digging a 36 foot RV out of the sand after getting stuck in the middle of the night, and the pros and cons of membership RV parks, boondocking, and RV clubs Add to all of that the fact that Russell is a very, very funny writer, and I guarantee that you will love this book as much as I did! How much did I love it? Immediately after finishing it, I ordered a subscription to his Gypsy Journal RV newspaper and purchased all of the back issues! Count me as a fan of this relative newcomer to the RV writing field.

Nick Russll exceeded my expectations with his highly detailed description of full time days and nights on the road. I particulary enjoyed his willingness to "name names" and be objective whether describing positive or negative events. The book definately helped me in the evolution of my thought process relative to "if, when and how to go full timing."

People who RV around america are a special breeed. IMO.
They know the joy of hitting the road, stopping where the mood takes. Staying there as long as the place is joyful.
Then moving on.
