RV Vacations for Dummies

When hub and I decided to go on our first RV vacation we ordered up a batch of books from Amazon on the subject. This is BY FAR the best. Clearly written, funny, sympathetic to newbies, and most important, full of suggestions and tips to make your trip easier. It also has the best "what to bring" checklist of any of the books we looked at. We liked the book so much we took the author's advice and rented an RV for our vacation. We liked that so much we are now about to buy an RV just like we rented - and, just like the authors did with their first RV. Highly recommended - don't leave home before reading it.

I ordered this book on Friday, by Monday it was in my mailbox.The only thing I am disappointed about are the dimensions of the book. I'd expected it to be a bit larger.The book it's self is very informative and is well planned.The cost was well within my price range and the shipping wasn't too bad either.I liked this online shopping experience.

I am new to this RV thing. I purchased this and the book for idiots. If I'm buying an RV for the first time I want to get every hint, viewpoint, reccomendation, etc. I also wanted to be talked into or out of my desire to buy a motorhome with facts not just my own dream of the open road.The book is informative. Goes over the types of RVs systems etc. Everything a dummie could want. I feel much more equipped to know what we are looking for in our search.

I have a 28' camper trailer and wanted more info before purchasing an RV and where to go with one. This is the book for it. Written for semi experienced campers to someone just needing additional places to go for an RV vacation. The book starts off with a couple of chapters on differences of RV Class A, B and C and other information for beginners, but quickly jumps into the main purpose of the book which is where to go and where to park the RV. There is a chapter at the end that discusses the major campgrounds that are located nationwide. But this book is not focused on that, and I am glad it is not. If you want a book that details the thousands of campgrounds located throughout the USA, then there are other resources like Woodall's guide that goes into minute details of each campground.

some parts are very informative, but they put in to much of their own opinion on boom docking. they sound like snobs in the book. not everyone has tons of money to stop at the ritzy rv parks. stop trying to scare people about staying at a Wal-Mart or a flying j type of place, i have been full timing for a long,long time and never had a problem and the truckers look out for all! stick to prtinent good travelling info and stop the negativity,o.k.

Even if you know things about rving, you'll find new information to help you, very imformative. Especially loved the recipes under Texas. Highly recommended whether your new to rving or have been for awhile.

If you've never done anything with a RV, this book is for you. If you have gone camping in one before, it might not be that helpful. I found it answered some questions I had, but most of the info was for things I was expecting. As another reviewer pointed out, the 2nd half of the book is about vacations you can take, which is more for daydreaming and wasn't really necessary. But a nice easy read overall, so 4 stars.

This is a very valuable book for the novice RVer. I'm really glad I got it. Not useful if you have been around RVs for a while, though.

very good tips when you are new with your RV. very useful, worth the money.

Great book, loads of hints, tips and advice.Definitely recommend for a newbie like us.

Hoping it'll be useful this summer!

Purchased these as a combo pack, good book with lots of information as well as lots of info for first time RVer's.

Excellent book. Well written with very few typo issues.Content was very useful and expect to use to plan our next trips.
