Great book very helpfulLearned alot that I didn’t know.Was easy reading - really really enjoyed it. Thank you

Gave to mom gift

My longtime dentist told me he wants to live in an RV when he retires. Huh, I say to myself, what’s that all about? Thus, when I happened upon this book, I thought I’d read it to understand the lure of the RV life.What I really like about this book is the casual, conversational style of writing — as though you’re sitting at the kitchen table discussing the pros and cons of it all. The author is very frank and very thoughtful. Truth be told, I myself have zero interest in RVing, but I enjoyed the writing and read the whole thing because I felt I was being schooled in a particularly nice and thorough way. The author states that he tries to follow the Einstein philosophy of explaining things so that a six year old could understand; this six-plus year old understood it.The author relays his personal experience of RV living while discussing the various things a person should think about before jumping into RV life. I think his suggestion to purchase a used RV (rather than buy a new one) makes good sense. I laughed when he said to “always, always flinch at the first price”.He also talks about the emotional adjustment of RV living, as well as discusses more mundane but extremely important matters such as declaring a state of residency, email, mail, and health insurance. He provides an RV-load of book, blog, campsite, and YouTube video resources, too.I think it’s a good book to read for anyone considering that lifestyle. You should probably read other books, too, for other perspectives. This is an indie, self-published book. I loved the writing style, the editing is decent (not perfect, but decent), and the organization is good.Side note: The author makes a reference to Bob Marley singing a song written by Bobby McFerrin. That’s also Bobby singing the song, not Marley. Though it has a sort-of Marley vibe, Marley died 7 years before the song was written. Still a great song and great message.

I bought this book recently and only just today got around to reading it. I don't know quite what I expected, but, in comparison to many other RV books, this was exceptional.The author claims not to be a writer and states that he never got better than a C in English classes. The shame is those classes, not the ability of this man to communicate in writing. I could learn a great deal from his example in this outstanding book.Not only does he cover a good deal of ground on what he learned the hard way, his ability to quickly explain how we can avoid his mistakes is well explained and includes links to YouTube videos, books, and web sites that add value and make the learning fun.BLUSH FACTOR: No worries here.WRITING & EDITING: Professional. I just cannot praise it highly enough.EXCERPTFor works as short as this, I don't provide excerpts. Trust me, though, this is a book any new RV owner will find useful.BOTTOM LINEFive stars out of five.I am striving to produce reviews that help you find books that you want, or avoid books that you wish to avoid.

Jerry has a casual, conversational style that’s very easy reading. His topics are categorized and he explains the dos and don’ts of preparing and starting your RV living adventure.

I found this book full of helpful information. Some of the info I had found in another book, but some of the info was new. It's not a how to book, but points you in the direction you need to go. It's worth your time and the 3.99. Thanks a lot, Jerry.
