New from the authors of An Alternative Lifestyle...the most up-to-date information on the lifestyle that more than one million are now enjoying which is Full-time RVing.
On March 30th, 1989, exactly two weeks after Ron Hofmeister retired as Deputy Director of Finance for the Michigan Department of Transportation, he and his wife Barbara turned in the keys of their town house and started the ignition of their new home, a twenty-four-foot motorhome. The couple's car was hooked up behind, with their bikes perched on top. After three and one-half years, they traded in the small motorhome for a thirty-four-foot Bounder motorhome. Barb called it her mansion. What started out to be a one or two year adventure has turned into a permanent lifestyle. In 1997, they traded again; this time they purchased a thirty- nine-foot, luxurious American Dream motorhome, which Barb calls her castle.
Shortly after their adventure began, Ron and Barb sat down to write a book about the full-timing lifestyle and how to prepare for it so others would not be afraid to venture out. Their book, An Alternative Lifestyle, sold thousands of copies and was featured on Good Morning America. Radio, TV, and newspapers across the Untied States did big stories about their adventure. And the book kept selling and selling. One reviewer said it was a "how to book that read like an adventure story."
Now Ron and Barb are back with a brand new book. With ten years wort of experience in this adventure-filled lifestyle, they not only detail how to do it, but where to go, what it costs, what to do if illness strikes, and much more. They follow each chapter with their own personal stories.
