I'm a full time RVer and truly love the RVing lifestyle and RV travel. When we're not traveling, I can hardly wait to hit the road. I know full timing is not for everyone, and I can't really explain why, but I really like living in an RV. I think it's mostly the feeling of freedom it gives me.
I like doing my own RV repair and maintenance when I can. I have earned four service technician certificates from Dometic by completing a correspondence course. I've posted many of the maintenance tips I've accumulated over the years to our site RVTipOfTheDay.com
From 2000 to late 2004 I wrote a column called Curbside for RV Companion magazine. The original publishers sold it and soon thereafter it went out of publication. A lot the material from my columns found a home at RVbasics.com.
My wife Fran Crawford have posted travelogs to our HomeIsWhereWeParkOurHouse.com web site.
We are members of the Escapees Club, Good Sams Club & Thousand Trails.
I got this book because we are totally new to the RV world and need all the help we can get. As of this review we have a brand new travel trailer sitting in our driveway but have yet to take it anywhere. We have spent the past month getting ready for our first trip which is coming up soon. That means lots of shopping and finding as many good resources as we can to help us do things right. This book has been a Godsend and after reading it I feel much more confident about what we're doing and it will be nice to know we have a good reference we can refer to along the way. I loved the Quick Tips that were interspersed throughout the book and I book marked many of them. I also liked the handy RV website hyperlinks in my Kindle edition. I plan to join them all for more advice as we go. I highly recommend this book whether you're a brand new RVer or even if you're a seasoned veteran. I'm sure you'll find lots of helpful information for whatever issues you face. It seems to all be covered here.

My husband and I are planning on taking to the road within the next several months, so I bought this book primarily for me, a total novice when it comes to RVs. My husband, however, is an experienced RVer and declared this book indispensable.
Just learned the print copy is out now, but not yet listed here on Amazon. This is the link to purchase it on CreateSpace (also an Amazon company, so hopefully Amz will allow the link):[...]
Thank you, Steven Fletcher, for putting all these valuable tips together in one book. You must have been thinking of me!

As a long time RVer, I found many useful tips. We are never too old to learn new things. I have already put new things into play in our RV life. A smart person learns from other's experiences. Not only can you learn to do things better, you can learn to save some money which is always helpful. You can also sign up for their email tip of the day and their email discussion group.

Good read. Easy to select those areas of interest and go directly to those areas. Some of the tips are common sense but in this day, that is not as common as it used to be. Well worth reading.

Not overly detailed but definitely includes plenty of good ideas for the newcomer like myself. I cannot get too much information and different perspectives on the issues important to RV's
