Amazon.com Review
The sun wanes, the night lengthens, and RV catalogs bestrew the house. If your time is flexible, and the weather is cold, autumn is the time to think about RVing it to pleasanter climes. Whether you're new to the game or a veteran traveler, the Moellers' RV guide can ease the planning sessions. They help chose an appropriate RV, discuss interior options, and offer advice on selecting RV campground sites. They cover readying RVs for travel, driving them, using campground hookups, cleaning, and maintenance. The advice is practical but not condescending, and the less time you spend diddling over propane systems insurance, the sooner you can be on the road, by the lake, or parked in your favorite desert.

Outdated.,

This review is from: RVing Basics (Paperback)
A good book that needs updating. Get the RVer's Bible if you want something more current and more complete.

thorough and informative,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: RVing Basics (Paperback)
As a novice RVer, I was looking for a book to help me learn more about my rig and to tune me in to "how to do it". I was not disappointed with this book. Although it does not cover everything in detail (I'm looking forward to reading Moeller's book on RV electrical systems) I feel much better informed about RVing. Of the several books I've read on the subject, this one is the best!

2.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of basics. Some TOO Basic.,
By glamarama (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RVing Basics (Paperback)
There are instructions on how to use a shower faucet in this book. Specifically, how to pull up the diverter knob to make the shower nozzle produce water. Like what you do in your home bathroom every day. And instructions on how to use an ATM machine. I kid you not.In its defense, it does give a general overview of black and grey water tanks and basics about hitches and the types of RVs that exist and I'm sure the authors meant well. But there are some really dumbed-down instructions about ordinary things you already know about. Its almost insulting. There are much better books out there that dont assume you are mentally challenged!
