Even if you are a seasoned RVer or just starting, this handbook has everything you need to know about your RV. I bought the book mainly to learn about winterizing our RV but found after reading that there were so many other things I could do myself, which meant saving money! Instead of paying the RV dealership to do simple things, I can now do them myself and save the money to do more traveling! Every RVer needs this!

An indespensible guide to RV maintaneance and care. This book is especially good for new RVers since it goes into a lot more detail than the typical owners manual and covers a wide variety of vehicle types. Photographs abound so show you what looks like what. I'd reccommend it for anyone who wants more details on how to take care of their rig.

Literally cram-packed with suggestions that'll keep your coach on the road instead of on the mechanic's lift. This book outlines what one should do and the possible consequences if they don't.

I've been criticized for reviewing RV books on Amazon since I co-authored the book, RV. Sorry, but I disagree. If you've logged 120,000 RV miles as I have, please do review RV books and if you write an RV book, I'll buy it.

The reviews here helped me decide which book to buy and I am glad I took the time to read them.

I have recently purchased an older Class A RV and anything and everything I have needed to know about maintaining, repairing or plain old tinkering is in here.

Easy to understand and follow instruction for everything I have needed to do so far.

My wife inherited a 1988 Winnebago (31 foot, no slide-outs) and we've decided to bring it up to speed for beach trips. This is one of two books I have bought to get started, it is the lesser of the two but still useful.

RV Repair and Maintenance Manual: Updated and Expanded (RV Repair and Maintenance Manual) is absolutely one the best car maintenance books I have ever had the pleasure of using (I also have a 1964 MGB and related maintenance books). This other book is brilliantly organized, crystal-clear, and I especially appreciate the full-page trouble-shooting guide with symptoms and fixes in two columns.

If you want only one book, buy the other book. I am not unhappy with this Owner's Handbook, I use it for overview reading, but it is not anywhere near as good as the Trailer Life book in terms of detail and trouble-shooting.

This is very handy guide.

We keep it on our MH and it really helps if you are trying to troubleshoot a problem with, say, the electrical or plumbing system.

It goes in-depth into systems and concepts that we as first-time owners have no clue about.

There is an extensive troubleshooting section that has definitely helped us on the road (where we didn't have internet or access to the forums on rv.net).

One complaint is that it is very general and completely non-vendor-specific, so it might not visually depict the EXACT system on YOUR rig perfectly, but it does give an exceptional general description about RV systems that can really help in a pinch.

I would definitely recommend this book, especially to any new or first-time RV'ers.

We had NO idea how to set up our used camper...This book had a lot of basic info we needed...

Other than other RVrs this is the best source of RV maintenance information I've found. We purchased our camping trailer new and the owners manuals are so full of disclaimers and lawyer language they are almost useless. We don't need all the information on motor homes that this book provides, but the rest of the information is good.

Product was delivered on time. It was exactly as represented and at a great price.

This handbook covered exactly what I needed it to cover for my 1975 Fleetwood Travel Trailer. If you don't have the orginal manual for your camper this is the book to purchase. absolutly love it.
