Outstanding! Trouible-Shooting Pages a Superb Value

My wife inherited a 1988 Winnebago (31 foot, no slide-outs) and we've decided to bring it up to speed for beach trips. This is one of two books I have bought to get started, and it is the better of the two, but I like them both. This book is absolutely one the best car maintenance books I have ever had the pleasure of using (I also have a 1964 MGB and related maintenance books). This book is brilliantly organized, crystal-clear, and I especially appreciate the full-page trouble-shooting guide with symptoms and fixes in two columns. I also recommend RV Owner's Handbook, Revised (Rv Owner's Handbook) but I use that for overview reading. If you want only one book, buy the Trailer Life book, it is vastly more detailed and useful with respect to each individual system in any given RV. I have not bought but want to flag Woodall's RV Owner's Handbook: The Complete, Illustrated Guide to Preventative Maintenance & Repairs for consideration.

This is a MeToo post

I bought my first copy of this book (an older edition) for my MeToo RV (it would be 35 years old, if it's still on the road). I have bought newer editions as I have bought new RVs (with newer appliances, needing newer information). I have also bought this manual as a present for almost every RVer I know If you buy ONE RV book, buy this one

Don't Leave Home Without It!!

It is rare to find a "how-to" book which addresses both the needs of the mechanically skilled and the needs of those of us who break into a cold sweat at even the sight of a toolbox. This is such a book. The topics covered, and the depth of the information, provide substance for even the most impassioned "do-it-yourselfer". On the other hand, those of us who are mechanically challenged find the step-by-step instructions and the detailed illustrations and photographs to be invaluable when circumstances require that we actually attempt to fix something. The "RV Repair and Maintenance Manual", in each of its various editions, has accompanied us on our RV outings since we first got involved in the life style. We can't imagine hitting the road without it!

RV Repair

This book is a must have for any RV owner. It is an excellent guide to tackle any tasks associated with RV maintenance. It is written for any level of do it yourself handymen.

THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT

I bought an older fifth wheel single axel travel trailer and I don't know the first things about them. Well, after ordering a number of books online looking to learn about the various systems and appliances, I found this book to be the BEST one yet! It's very straight forward and easy to understand, so if I can understand it, ANYONE CAN!
