'Tube-sock Tricks, and 101 Other Tips for RVing Success' gives you just that; 101 RV and pet travel tips as well as things you can do with tube socks aside from wearing them. There are `essential first timer tips' and `doggy tips' sprinkled throughout. The tube sock tricks are put in black boxes so you can't miss them. The last several pages are blank for you to add more tips you learn along the way.

The writing style of 'Tube-sock Tricks' is very engaging. The tips given are practical and useful to RVers and others who travel. Several refer to others listed later on, which encourages you to continue reading.
The illustrations are delightful and capture the essence of what Chaucer is telling you with great humor. He leads you through the book with a cute picture of himself that let you know what page you are on. Asterisks followed by a tiny illustration at the bottom of the page let you know if the tip is for newbies or dog owners. Some of the tips are common sense things for seasoned travelers but invaluable for beginners.

Having been a soccer mom, camper, currently a live-aboard sailor and a future RVer, I found 'Tube-sock Tricks, and 101 Other Tips for RVing Success' to be chock full of good ideas. This is a great gift and a must have for anyone setting out on an adventure, whether by RV or boat.

We just bought a new RV this year. As previous tent campers we are so green at RVing it is funny. Along comes Tube-Sock Tricks. A funny and yet very useful book for the new RVer. Great tips for outfitting your RV for the first time. Several of these tips are worth thousands of dollars! (Putting down the awing for instance! Must remember to do that!) My kids even read it and got some useful tips. A great house warming gift for the new RVer!

...skip this book. This is our fourth year with a 35' fifth wheel, and what's in the book for the most part, I know about and could probably add to. However, I do give this book five stars for the valuable information it can give to those of you who are thinking about purchasing an RV, no matter what style or size, or that first year RVer, especially those of you that has a canine that RV's like ours, this book is for you. Chaucer the Dog has been paying attention while out RVing, and has many valuable tips for you. In fact, I'm going to store this in the fifth and give it to that RVer who I see (You know the one)at the next RV park who just need that extra help...

Even if you're not an RVer (yet), this little book was delightful to read! And, now, after reading it, an RV just may be in our future! Helpful hints. Lots of good humor (it's fun to smile). Countless visual images that pop up reading from Chaucer's perspective. A fun read AND a meaningful contribution to an important rescue organization (all royalties to go to SPARE.)

The content is light for $10. What you can't tell from the description is that the book is 4" by 6", so it's a small book. There are some good ideas and I learned a few things from the book.

I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS LITTLE BOOK AND I EMPHASIZE LITTLE. IT WAS WRITTEN BY A DOG AND WASN'T WORTH THE POSTAGE LET ALONE $10.OO.

This book is smaller than a postcard and enumerates "tips" that are mostly common sense. The handwritten typeface is as annoying as the cloying illustrations. And all the "tips" could fit on a single piece of 8" x 11" paper. It is a ridiculous rip off at $10. I wouldn't pay $2 for it. I'm returning it immediately.
